President Trump Appears to Sour on Chief Strategist Steve Bannon

HeadlineApr 13, 2017

President Donald Trump signaled Wednesday he’s souring on his chief strategist, Steve Bannon. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said, “I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late. … I’m my own strategist and it wasn’t like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary.” Trump also confirmed a reported rift between Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. According to The Daily Beast, the conflict became so fierce that at one point Bannon called Kushner a “globalist.” Bannon is the former editor of the website Breitbart.com, which frequently publishes racist, sexist and white supremacist views.
