"I Like Steve, but..." Is Trump distancing himself from Bannon because of ongoing FBI investigation?

1. Trump is the epitome of self-interest - the only ones safe from it are family. Steve ain't family.

On the one hand, I want to see Bannon gone.

On the other hand, Bannon's the most useful tool for bringing Trump down (after Trump himself, of course).

What to do, what to do...

2. " .... but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late." D. Trump

Bullshit. What about the computer server linked to Russia in Trump's HQ and
Cambridge Analytica?

3. This just means

that the Russian ties predate Steve Bannon, right?

5. Trump's connections to Russia goes back 20 + years.

Trump's business empire was collapsing around him in the 1990s and he was
a failed businessman but Russian money propped him up and after that Trump
more and more sold his name and little else outside of playing a fake CEO on
the make believe tv show the apprentice. Trump's name is now so toxic that
the Trump business is now switching the naming of buildings from Trump to
Scion.
