That's my first question.

This could be a very rare time Trump was out-Trumped.

He's so used to using/manipulating people with his celebrity, and then kicking them to the curb when they're not useful. Bannon telling him to f*** off, calling him an idiot, calling them traitors as the ship is sinking (and giving the ship a nice shove forward), and doing it FIRST...seems to have come as a real unpleasant surprise.
