There seems to be distance between Trump and Bannon.

Trump just made some very strange comments about Stephen K. Bannon

By Aaron Blake at the Washington Post

"SNIP........

We don't yet know what Stephen K. Bannon's fate in the Trump White House is. But judging by President Trump's own words, it doesn't sound particularly good.

In a brief exchange with the New York Post's Michael Goodwin on Tuesday, Trump seemed to deliberately place Bannon at arm's length, suggesting his role as an adviser has been oversold and even appearing to threaten Bannon's job.

Goodwin says he asked Trump if he still has confidence in Bannon, who is reportedly feuding with Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. And Trump didn't exactly disabuse Goodwin of the idea that Bannon is embattled. In fact, he did quite the opposite.

“I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late,” Trump said. “I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn't know Steve. I’m my own strategist, and it wasn't like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary.”

2. And Paul Manafort played a small role...

early on the campaign. Once Trump doesn't know you all that well...

3. I think

this "distance" is all for show. I also think the upcoming staff purge will be used to move those who know enough about Trump-Russia out of subpoena distance.

Trump nor the WH can afford to make him a real enemy as he knows where all the bodies are buried.

6. It is all theater, like WWE wrestling

4. He's already on the out

I am betting on Li'l Donnie already having told him to resign. If Bannon is fired outright, then Breitbarf has a field day with Li'l Donnie. So now it comes down to seeing who will break first. I think this "distancing" is a ploy to send Bannon a clear picture while still leaving the resign option on the table.
