Chief of Staff Reince Priebus- His only exposure to government is that he was the head of the Republican National Committee during the "so called" autopsy of the Republican party after its' disastrous election beating suffered during the 2012 election. But, that is some considerable exposure. He is capable and can navigate around the diverse personalities he will have to. In my opinion, he won't f*ck anything up, but he is no Josh Lyman. His most famous quote, with me anyway, was his answer to the press question if he was overwhelmed yet. His answer, "No I think I'm alright, I'm not pouring Baileys in my cereal yet."
Chief Strategist- Stephen Bannon- Bannon was in the Navy. He worked for the "Darth Vader" of criminal investment banks Golman Sachs. Then not so much for awhile, until he took over as Executive Chairman of Breitbart News, a Website for the "Alt-Right". Which I had to look up:
(The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loose group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in the United States.)
(Richard Spencer, is the The Alt-Right's Racist Founder. The New Yorker reported that the term “alt-right” was coined by white nationalist Richard Spencer, who “described the movement in December as 'an ideology around identity, European identity.'”
Breitbart News is a divisive right wing opinion and news outlet, known for offensive headlines like; "Bill Kristol; Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew"; "Trannies 49 Xs Higher HIV Rate"; and "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy."
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the site promotes racist, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant ideas, and it has been accused of white nationalism, a movement that opposes multiculturalism and believes in the supremacy of the white race. Bannon, who is on leave from Breitbart, described his ideology to Mother Jones as "nationalist," but not necessarily white nationalist. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke called Bannon's selection "excellent," and Peter Brimelow, who runs the white nationalist site VDARE, called it "amazing."
Bannon, who has been with the site for about a decade and ran the business out of the basement of his D.C. townhouse, according to a Bloomberg profile, told Mother Jones about the site, however, "We're the platform for the alt-right." According to NPR, "The views of the alt-right are widely seen as anti-Semitic and white supremacist."
Amazingly, There was a lot more written about him in the mainstream press, but he is not the topic of this article. He does however add some "WTF" fun to it. But it is time to stop or I'll be accused of "Breitbart bashing".
