He didn't. Jared wanted Bannon out so that was it.

Yup. Even Bannon had said it - that it was never Trump who pushed him out, it was Kushner. Jared was one of Trump's worst mistakes.

It's been known for a while that Bannon and Kushner clashed a lot. This was early into Trump's presidency. Bannon was a fighter and a warrior for MAGA, Kushner only cared about MIGA (Make Israel Great Again).

A lot of people inside the white house (the ones that ended up betraying Trump and giving him poor advice) wanted Bannon out because he wanted to go aggressive on the swamp and establishment. He was an outsider like Trump.

In the end Trump chose family over who was probably the best advisor and strategist he ever had in politics.
