Where are people getting that Bannon is some conservative? He’s as left as Bernie Sanders. Waaaay more left than Trump.
He wants to increase taxes to 44%.
He wants a full blown trade war with China and Mexico that will hurt the economy and is the exact same position as Bernie Sanders.
He wants to use debt to borrow a $1 TRILLION for infrastructure without the public-private partnerships like Trump. That’s full on New Deal socialism.
He’s good on Foreign Policy and us staying out of BS wars.
He’s outstanding on immigration.
But his agenda is impossible in a congress with Republicans lukewarm or in open revolt against Trump and Democrats openly talking about impeaching him daily.
You’re telling me the Freedom Caucus would vote to raise taxes to 44%, start a trade war, and spend $1 Trillion on infrastructure?
He wants to raise taxes on the ultra wealthy. Which to me, means Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
He wants a Trade War with China in time while we still have a chance to win it, before being replaced as the world's reserve currency.
Your calling them "BS Wars" -- like keeping Nukes out of the hands of North Korea -- reveals that you must have eaten paint chips as a child.
Bannon is a populist and won Trump the election by motivating more blue collar voters to vote Republican. Conservatives have already lost the culture wars, all that's left for these folks is hope for them to hold on to a decent standard of living. Tax cuts for the well off ain't gonna cut it anymore. Bannon gets it and the Republican Party better too or they will soon go the way of the dodo.
If Trump doesn't follow through on immigration and improve the job situation for blue collar types his support will soon fizzle out. Bannon has a big mouthpiece at Breitbart and intends to use it. I think Trump picked the wrong person to kick off his team, now the globalists take over. The media might go easier on him now, but many of his core supporters ain't gonna like the new direction. Trump's prospects for a second term have just nosedived imo.
