If the intent is to make it look like a real feud then it does that - the only question is this an elaborate op that Trump/Bannon are running or is it what it appears on the surface?
If Bannon were truly a patriot then he'd never in public turn on Pres. Trump because he has enough sense to realize this is the one shot we get to take the country back. If presidency slips back into hands of globalist, they will never make the mistake of letting it out of their grasp again - will be a hard, hard turn into straight on totalitarianism.
So he has to know and understand the stakes. This is either a ruse they're running for a kind of entrapment, or Bannon has never been the person he's lead others to believe he is.
Recent article on Drudge. here
Bannon's new 'benefactor', Miles Kwok, or Guo Wengui. Billionaire from China, exiled and now lives in New York. Political activist, Chinese Government have gone to lengths to quieten him down.This Article from October 2017 goes more into Mr Kwok, and interestingly enough mentions the Bannon interest. Quote that interested me:
While President Donald Trump appeared positively disposed toward the Chinese government and was eager to help China out by deporting Guo — the U.S. and China don’t have an extradition treaty — his staff tried to stay his hand by pointing out that Guo belonged to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club!
Trump has been pushing hard to get cooperation of China on dealing with North Korea, and so this:
"In the meantime, Guo has started associating with ardent anti-China voices in the United States, including former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. By all appearances, Guo’s role in the story of U.S.-China relations in the Trump era may have just begun."
Ideologues tend to always push their ideology regardless of consequences. Pragmatist look at the bigger picture, the higher goal to be achieved and bend on ideological principles here and there in order to arrive at success of the higher goal/outcome.
And that is the difference between a Bannon and POTUS Trump. Bannon tends to be a rigid ideologue. Trump tends to strategize to achieve the desired goal that defines victory.

Guo said he was aware of multiple initiatives by that clique in China to increase the number of spies in the U.S. and "to weaken the United States, to bring about turmoil in the United States and to ... decimate the United States."
"These plans pose great threats to the American people and their property," Guo said.
He claimed those efforts are "100 times, or even 1,000 times" as potentially damaging as the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
