I don't remember the specifics either, but I think it came down to 'Trump cucked.' And I say that as someone who likes Trump, will vote for him again, and thinks he is - for better or worse - one of the better political options at present. But he still cucked on a lot, and let people lead him on too. Firing Bannon was a huge mistake.
and like someone pointed out, he could have pardoned in advance all January 6 demonstrators
Ahh yes, back when pretty much everyone on the right was saying, "it wasn't much of a riot, but anyone who broke laws should be prosecuted," Trump should have just come out with a blanket pardon. That would have looked totally reasonable.
Trump also definitely should have had the foresight to know that the establishment hacks actually are insane enough to go after grandmothers that wandered through the capitol building, and found a way to protect them from a bunch of insane establishment hacks that definitely would have respected his pre-pardons.
You've got to be delusional to believe this nonsense. Even from a legal standpoint, it's really not clear that he could have just blanket pardoned everybody. And at the time nobody understood just how truly corrupt and insecure these establishment hacks are, and nobody outside the most paranoid would have predicted that they'd go after journalists who were just standing outside filming or non-violent people who were clearly encouraged by security to enter the building.
While certainly not perfect, Steve Bannon is kind of a hero.
I can’t remember why Trump fired him. But Steve Bannon has remained 100% faithful to him and his cause.
Also even elon musk has been a hero this week :

Which takes some balls considering the position he is in.

If he gets into office again, he may feel less of an urge to capitulate to anyone because of his lame duck status.
