TRUMP PEOPLE/STEVE BANNON: “White House chief strategist Steve Bannon appears to be fighting for his political life following stunningly lukewarm comments about him from President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
‘I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late,’ Trump told New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. ‘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.’
Then, just in case anyone missed the point (they didn’t), Trump added: ‘Steve is a good guy, but I told them to straighten it out or I will.’ “
