It sure sounds that way...
Mr. Priebus bristles at the perception that he occupies a diminished perch in the West Wing pecking order compared with previous chiefs. But for the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the presidents dominant adviser, despite Mr. Trumps anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban.
There's a lot more to the article, but that gem seems tucked away and I overlooked it at first.

He doesn't have property there so they don't matter.

Some people speculate that he can't read above a fourth grade level. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/31/samantha-bee-is-convinced-donald-trump-can-t-read.html
