Trump turned on Bannon over his comments to the author of a book highly critical of the president and his family. Bannon appeared to have few close friends left among the more conservative factions of the Republican Party, which swiftly proclaimed their loyalty to Trump following the breakup. He said Bannon did not represent Trump’s political base and had exaggerated his influence even when he was at the White House. A friend of Bannon, former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg, said he doubted Bannon’s relationship with Trump could be fully repaired. But he added that Bannon would retain some sway over Trump’s supporters, particularly on issues such as immigration.
