Freeing himself from the vile malignant influence of Bannon is one step that Trump has taken that can be applauded by just about everyone except the looney Right. It remains to be seen whether Trump can free himself of the policies that Bannon championed and resonated strongly with his base. It will take more than a single policy about turn, or one compromise with the Dems to convince many that the stench surrounding Bannon and his 'ideas' has been permanently expunged from the Trump Presidency.
Promoting himself as a pragmatic independent President makes a lot of sense for Trump, and offers one avenue for him to salvage his Presidency from chaotic train wreck it has been to date. His ties to the GOP have always been expedient, a marriage of convenience where neither party was completely comfortable, so there's no ideological baggage tying him to the GOP.
The big question is whether Trump has the political nous to seize the opportunity and run with it. Only a fool would predict Trump's future moves - quite probably no one, including Trump himself, knows what he is going to do one, three, six or more months from today. So time will tell all and until the question is resolved, it might be best to remain skeptical, and perhaps for the first time in a long time, just a tad optimistic.
