Trump can't see beyond his own greed and appetites. The super Rich have it made in this country if they don't make cartoon villeins of themselves, which unfortunately for them is Trump's natural tendency. Bannon knows that the right wing populist base will put up with a lot under the guise of culture wars, They will tighten their own belts, but not to the point of stopping all circulation to their legs. Clearly the 1% doesn't need all of the tax cuts Trump is giving them. They could give some of that back, lessen the massive deficit they are about to bequeath to the economy, cut a little less from Medicaid, and possible get away with it electorally. Bannon is smart enough to see that. Trump isn't.
