President Trump’s public breakup with Steve Bannon is more than fodder for the chattering class. Though I’m not sure its actual import is proportional to the media coverage it’s received. When policy matters on which Trump and Bannon disagree become relevant, so too will their split.

That could happen soon. With negotiations over Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programs heating up, Bannon has new motivation to undercut Trump if he chooses to appease Democratic leaders. Democrats have come to the table insisting Congress pass a clean Dream Act, while Republicans, Trump included, maintain protections for Dreamers must necessarily be tied to efforts enhancing border security.
