[quote=Anonymous]Back to the Trumps...

The Bannon profile someone posted on another thread is interesting in the context of Trump's business dealings:

Agree or disagree with his premises, you have to admit that Bannon has a well thought-out strategy that is decidedly focused on the middle-class economy at the expense of the billionaire elites.  And while Trump may be able to find the words to sell Bannon's message, I don't think he believes in it in the same way.  Bannon, in cut-offs and threadbare t-shirts could not be more opposite to Trump in his gold-plated palace.  Bannon's utopia can only happen at the expense of people like Trump (well, Ivanka more than Trump, real estate moguls can do fine in an infrastructure-spending driven economy).

So how does that tension play out.  Does Trump let Bannon continue to push policies that hurt his own bottom line?  Or does Trump push back and realign himself with the corporatist Republicans?  Bannon's pretty smart, so maybe he finds a way to shield Trump from the negative effects on people like him of his policies.  But I can't help feeling like there's something not so neat about Bannon's governing strategy...which is quite different from his tightly-developed campaigning one.[/quote]
