The Trump-Bannon relationship - why did Trump tweet about Steve Bannon? Initially when I first started learning about Q, I had a suspicion that Bannon was Q or at least a primary brainchild behind it.  Think about it - he has military intelligence background, he has media savvy, and he is obviously very bright.  The removal of him from the Admin in August of 2017 would coincide with his taking up the Q effort just a few months later, giving enough time to put the right infrastructure in place and giving enough time for plausible deniability. I am not convinced of this but wondering if his return to Trump's 'good graces' is leading up to something.  Bannon has been very active in traveling around and defending Trump in very hostile environments (like Bill Maher show), so I don't think his 'split' with Trump was all that big a deal and probably more a ruse.
