What Trump's Increasing Isolation Could Mean For His Presidency
There's a telling photo that has gotten some attention in social media following Steve Bannon's exit as President Trump's chief strategist. (You can see it above.)
It shows President Trump behind the desk in the Oval Office, surrounded by his top advisers – seated are Vice President Pence and National Security Adviser Mike Flynn; standing, from left to right are Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, chief strategist Steve Bannon and Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
That was Jan. 28, eight days after Trump was inaugurated.
Today, they are all gone, except for Pence.
(NBC Nightly News modified the photo in a graphic that makes everyone disappear except Pence and the president:)
There were countless stories about the infighting between the Bannon and Priebus wings of the White House staff. The duo tried in February, where they looked more like the Blues Brothers than Cain and Abel.
