Trump getting tamed

Since the expulsion of Stephen Bannon from the White House, Trump has taken a big breath and started to behave like a proper human being. He whizzed off to Texas to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey - twice - he agreed to keep going in Afghanistan, then having told the so-called Dreamers, the young illegal immigrants, to get out of the country, he realised most of them were doing their bit for the US and some were even serving in the military. So of couse they must stay, he said. Stephen Bannon claims he is on the phone to Trump two or three times a week, and is no doubt bending his ear, reminding him that he was elected to be a super-conservative president and to forget about other people's wars. But Trump is in a tricky position. Instinctively he loves everything Bannon says to him over the phone, but then as soon as he puts the phone down in strides General John Kelly who reminds him that he is president of the whole world, or at least he is a president with a global reach and shouldn't listen to Bannon. "He is no longer your strategic adviser, Mr President, I'm your strategic adviser and I say, listen to me not to Bannon." So, Trump listens and softens his position on just about everything. I think he now knows he's never going to build That Wall. No one's going to pay for it. He has stopped tweeting about it. Bannon probably reminded him that the wall must be built. But dear General Kelly, an old Marine and always an old Marine, says walls are to be climbed over, Mr President. "When I was training in the Marine Corps....." "Yeah, yeah," interrupts the president,"I know all about your bloody wall."
