one is that steve bannon is still seen, despite the fact that he's on thin ice, as someone who has trump's base front of mind and at a moment right now where trump is at 34%, this white house is even more focused on that base, even more laser focussed on keeping them happy and keeping them in his camp. that being said, i think the president has been concerned about a number of things related to ban nonon. he doesn't like it when they start to eclipse him. a lot of reports describing bannon as the chief strategist, attacks on h.r. mcmaster. the accused of being a leaker. all of that is culminating to make bannon's position tenuous. a lot of this has nothing to do
