6. It's too late for that. Trump has been speaking for himself all along.

Trump isn't all of a sudden going to become a moderate establishment Republican just because Bannon is gone. Bannon was to some extent an amplifier for Trump's racist id, but Trump's beliefs won't change (Gorka and Miller are still there, after all). What got Bannon in trouble wasn't his beliefs, it was his internal squabbles with Jared and Ivanka and his grandstanding, along with Trump's suspicion that Bannon was a leaker. Trump will still be Trump.
