Problem with the 25th Amendment is that they will still need a 2/3rds majority in both House of Representatives & The Senate to confirm his removal (according to Newsweek). At the moment most of the elected Republicans have gone to ground or where they have commented have not named Trump (Senators like John McCain are notable exceptions) so getting them to vote to remove him may still be some time away sadly.

^ As you say a few have used his name. The media are already making head counts e.g. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/16/politics/r...index.html

I can't work this one out. Is Bannon being the voice of moderation?

Or did he just commit political suicide

You've just realised this now? What do you think Make America Great Again and his threat of tearing up trade deals is all about?

Oddly enough, George W Bush was also an isolationist right up to about 0850 EST on September 11 2001.

The rest is History.
