Chaos continues in the con artist carnival as aides and staff square off against one another. Recent ejections, such as Katie Walsh, a colleague of Priebus at the RNC who joined him at the White House as deputy chief of staff, and Wednesday's demotion of Bannon from contributor to sideline joke at the National Security Council, highlight the growing schisms.
Bannon's ouster from the National Security Council Wednesday was only the latest sign of Kushner's rise, sources said. While H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, has been working for weeks to find a way to rid the White House foreign policy operation of Bannon, it was ultimately Kushner's influence that led to Bannon's departure from the panel, sources said.
Another official stressed that a new power center has emerged in the West Wing that pointedly does not include Bannon. Instead, a pair of former Goldman Sachs executives -- Gary Cohn and Dina Powell -- appear to be in favor.
What does this mean for the nascent president? Based on past history, confusion and ineptitude seem to be the name of the game. No plan, no organization, just a wild series of tangentially linked events trying to appear as if they belong to one another. As the days, weeks and months wear on, expect to see even more ejections and sharper divisions among the various groups as the con artist flails desperately to control the fiery carcass of his plunging administration.

On a given day, the line outside Trump's Oval Office can stretch to dozens of people, including aides, diplomats and outside visitors -- some scheduled to meet with the President and others brought in on a whim.
"They take everybody in and (take) every meeting, and it slows down the process," said one source close to the President.
