Sure, it's only one seat, but it had to start somewhere, and I suspect Bannon and Rump butted heads.
Steve Bannon has been removed from the National Security Council
Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's chief strategist, will no longer sit on the National Security Council.
The White House announced in a presidential memorandum dated April 4 that Trump was reorganizing the NSC and that Bannon would no longer be on it. Bloomberg first reported the news.
"As President, my highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of the American people," the memo said.
Trump also downgraded the role of Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert, according to Bloomberg.
National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, are back to being "regular attendees" of the NSC's principals committee, the interagency forum that deals with policy issues affecting national security.
The moves come months after Trump signed a presidential memorandum that removed some of the nation's top military and intelligence advisers, including Coats and Dunford, as regular attendees of the NSC's principals' committee and elevated Bannon to becoming a regular attendee. That shakeup was widely criticized.

I am kind of satisfied to see this move. My feelings about Bannon are he is somewhat of a sleazy character. Before Trump can drain the swamp in Washington he needs to drain the swamp of RINO's in his administration.

As a Conservative, yes, Bannon is a sleaze, but he did what he was hired to do, manipulate media to Trump's advantage, from destroying the name Breitbart to creating bots and hiring trolls to flood the web.
But getting rid of Bannon says more about Trump's surge left.
Steve may have been a sleaze, but he was never a lib sleaze.

Agreed. Trump's initial team seems to be unraveling ... one by one ... perhaps all by design.

Yep, unless you have your nose surgically attached to Trump's sphincter, you're expendable, and even then he just might let the elevator doors detach you.
It's going to be interesting to see if Breitbart turns on him.

I kind of doubt it, he purged the place of actual Conservatives.
