How long can Trump now last as his White House Senior advisors are being reduced to his immediate family?

The late Harold Wilson (left) is rumoured to have said that, "A week is a long time in politics". (Wikipedia)

In the aftermath of the death of  Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old legal assistant with a law firm in Virginia, at the Charlottsville White Nationalist rally on the 12th August, Donald Trump drew gasps of unbelief by many of his unpresidential remarks about the events of that day, that flew very close to exonerating the Nazi sympathiser who killed Heather Heyer. 

As AJ Willingham wrote,

"Facing criticism over the vague wording of his initial response [to the death of Heather Heyer], Trump released a second statement on Monday that divided his white nationalist supporters. Some heard the diluted words of a man forced to bow to media pressure, while others found winking encouragement in between the lines."(CNN: August 15, 2017) (my emphasis)

In the wake of his un-presidential remarks, the White House now seems close to total meltdown, to the utter consternation of Vladimir Putin, whose endeavours to keep Trump in power continues to this very day.

As reported by Rachel Maddow (complete video) of MSNBC,

"The Russian Military Intelligence Unit that carried out the DNC hack... nicknamed 'Fancy Bear' ... And they're apparently still working now  ... this summer ... still against us ... the American public ... Still on behalf of Donald Trump ..."

 
Now, however, the FBI has, as Rachel Maddow also reports,

" ... it's first human witness for the Russian side of the Russian attack on the election. It's a Ukrainian hacker ... [ online alias "Profexer" ] ...  (Full article:  Andrew E. Kramer and Andrew Higgins : New York Times : Aug. 16, 2017)

Since the beginning of the Trump presidential campaign in 2016, he collected around himself a motley crew of Russian sympathisers as his Foreign Policy unit.

Some of these, like Paul Manafort and Carter Page, are now under investigation as possible conduits for Putin in helping Trump win the 2016 US Presidential elections.

Rex Tillerson, appointed after Trump's election success, still remains in office as the US 

Secretary.

And yesterday we learnt that the man credited with winning the US Presidential election for Trump, Steve Bannon, Trump's Chief Strategist, has been removed from the White House and, as  Harriet Alexander, David Millward and Barney Henderson report,

"A defiant Steve Bannon declared the Trump presidency he had campaigned for was over as he vowed to carry on the fight after being ousted as the White House chief strategist.

..... 
In interviews he made it clear he was not going quietly as he rounded on those he held responsible for his departure." (Telegraph : 19 August 2017) (my emphasis)

As the late Harold Wilson said,

"A week is a long time in politics."

Let us also not forget that the Mueller investigation into Putin's meddling in the 2016 US Presidential election continues to solidly plod along.

So the $64 question is,

"How long can Trump now last as his White House Senior advisors are being reduced to his immediate family?"
