I think 45 pushed Bannon aside, if he really has--which is debatable--because he was advising in a way that was publicly humiliating to 45. So he's been moved a little off-camera.
What frightens me most during this time of completely corrupt coup is the venality of the MSM which is not exposing 45. Oh--they do a little around the edges--but I mean relentless investigation and exposure. It's our MSM that never made front and center how 45 treated his "working men" on his construction projects--where he stiffs them and cheats them. If that had been a headline story during the election, I don't think 45 would have won.
BTW--I don't think Bannon, a true ideologue if ever there was one---will ever be far away. He's got too much power in his own way--Mercer money and Breitbart and the racist base voter. And apparently he knows too much about 45 and other Republicans to ever be truly demoted.
