... The love affair is over between Trump and Bannon [the last hug]

President Trump unleashed on his former chief strategist and campaign manager Wednesday, issuing a long and unusual statement questioning Stephen K. Bannon's mental stability, honesty and political influence.
"Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party."
Trump continued, "Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my base he's only in it for himself."
Trump was infuriated at Bannon's comments, even telling senior aides and advisers that Bannon was "not well," according to someone familiar with the president's frustrations. He complained that Bannon again was trying to take credit for his election win. He huddled with Hicks and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to unleash a fiery statement after calling friends for much of the morning.
Advisers had told reporters for weeks that Bannon was instrumental in the book, and that it was going to look "absolutely terrible" for the White House," according to one senior official.
