White house officials claim that steve bannon and chief of staff, general john kelly, mutually agreed that it was time for bannon to go, but sources tell cbs news that President Trump has been frustrated by bannons rising profile and by Media Coverage of bannon as the real mastermind behind President Trumps campaign. President trump arrived in new jersey friday amid Unanswered Questions about his decision to fire chief strategist, steve bannon. Well see what happens with mr. Bannon. Reporter an explosive press conference earlier in the week, the president refused to express confidence in bannon and downplayed his role in the 2016 campaign. Mr. Bannon came on very late, you know that. I went through 17 senators, governors, and i won all the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that. Reporter as one of mr. Trumps First White House hires, bannon arrived with a nationalist agenda, claiming shortly after the inauguration that he was ready to fight for a new political order. If you think theyre going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. Every day, every day it is going to be a fight. Reporter bannon had been a consistent lightning rod for criticism, partly because of his work for Breitbart News. But within hours of his firing, the outlet announced he would return as its executive chairman. And in an interview with the Weekly Standard bannon said his departure signals that the Trump Presidency his movement fought for is over, but returning to breitbart means hes got his hands back on his weapons and he vowed to crush the opposition. Is steve bannon a leaker . I said he was.

Bannon says he is jacked up and will likely continue the feuds that he began while he was in the white house. The white house has Just Announced that President Trump will not participate in the Kennedy Center honors so as to not be a political distraction. Errol barnett in new jersey, thank you. For more we turn to cbs news political director steve shagaris. Mr. Bannon went out with guns blazing, didnt he . Oh, yes, not a surprise. This is a rough and tumble politics guy. People described him as a street fighter, not a surprise. He was unhappy with some of the people in the white house, people like Jared Kushner and gary cohn. He felt these people did not have the same world view as him or the president. So what does it mean now for the white house agenda . Thats a good question. I dont think youre going to see the president back off his America First ideas. I dont think youre going to see him backing off on immigration and trade. But the question is, is what happens now with his foreign policy, with military intervention. These are the kinds of things that steve bannon was pushing to sort of not expand. But now you have generals in charge, now you have people giving him all sorts of ideas about that, so well watch that very closely. Bannon is returning to Breitbart News and has said hes going to remain very vovinvolve here and very vocal. There were a lot of people that were worried at the white house, i think, about bannon back on the outside. Thats the big question, how does bannon use his influence now . Is he still going to talk to the president . The president called him a friend the other day when asked about bannon. But he now has a megaphone that is looked at by conservatives and the White Working Class voters that voted for trump. Does bannon use that against the president or is he just going to go after the people he doesnt like in the white house. Well see how that turns out. Some people have suggested that he could be more dangerous outside the white house. Thats right, he could be stirring things up. Again, is he going to be a thorn in the president s side or use this to be an ally for the president . Well have to watch very closely what bannon does with breitbart because its a very influential website. What do you make of this news that the president is not going Center Honors this year . Its interesting. Watching the Kennedy Center honors last year and hearing what people were saying about President Trump, you know, it is it is a political distraction, i think, to have this president with all these people being honored that dont agree with him whatsoever. You saw people theyre either not going to attend the honors or not attend the white house reception beforehand so it has become a distraction already. The president is saying forget all this. I dont think its good for anybody for me to be involved. Obviously weve seen so much fallout since charlottesville and his comments about that. Weve heard democrats talk about censure but even members of his own party are rebuking him. What is that political fallout there . Lets remember, this isnt the first time republicans have rebuked or condemned or criticized president for something that hes done for being very controversial. Lets go back to when he attacked the gold star families, when he was criticizing the judge that was involved in the Trump University suit, when he had his access Hollywood Tape come out. Republicans are very, very critic critical. Whats happening now is the first since president but i think youll see republicans say, look, we dont like some of the things this president does. Were going to come out and protect ourselves and say we dont like some of the things he does, but at the same time, his success is important to their success. So the same thing as the election . The republicans need to keep their majority and get reelected in the midterms. How are you going to do that if you completely ignore the president and dump him overboard . I think they can come out and say we dont agree with what he says on these issues, but we still have to work with him on getting tax cuts done and getting his agenda done, because we have to show our voters were getting things done in washington. But in the dialogue in the last week, a lot of that agenda has been completely eclipsed. Yeah, its been eclipsed pretty much this entire presidency. Every week there is a distraction. The president is getting himself into trouble with whether its firing james comey, whether its charlottesville. Hes constantly getting himself distracting himself from the agenda. Thats what frustrates a lot of these republicans. Are they going to focus on what we need to get done and show people were accomplishing things. Steve, thank you very much for the insight. Coming up in the next hour, well talk with joshua green, the author of devils bargain the bestselling book about the trumpbannon relationship, and he landed the first interview with steve bannon since he was ousted from the white house.
