At the time of Trump’s unexpected election victory, there was much speculation over who would really run the US Government, given the incoming President’s notorious lack of patience and attention to detail. Now that question has been answered: this White House is Steve Bannon’s. The one element that unites every executive order and every speech the President has given since assuming office is the Bannon world view.
Some men, according to The Dark Knight, just want to watch the world burn. White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon may be one of them. In a November 2015 interview, he described one of the “central organising principles” of his alt-Right news organisation Breitbart News, of which he was then executive editor, as being “that we’re at war”.
A US appeals court is set to hold a hearing on Tuesday over President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban, which the government is defending as a "lawful exercise" of his authority. The White House on Monday urged the court to reinstate the ban in the interests of national security three days after a federal judge barred enforcement of the controversial measure in a high-stakes case that looks increasingly likely to be settled by the Supreme Court. Justice Department lawyers challenging the nationwide injunction called it "vastly overbroad" in a court brief filed Monday.
Donald Trump has launched into a Twitter tirade about an unflattering expose of his first two weeks in the White House. The New York Times article contains embarrassing reports of the President's aides conversing in the dark because they cannot find the light switch, the President watching cable TV in his bathrobe and marking up negative news stories with a black sharpie. Mr Trump has hit back at the report and suggested the publication has written “total fiction” about him and fabricated their sources.
