I don't know !!
I must confess that I am not an inside pundit when it comes to American Politics...I am, after-all Canadian.
I do know the left-wing American media has branded him a Right-Wing Extremist but that only causes me to think they may be mistaken as they most always are.
And that in itself commits me to find out about Mr. Bannon to see what makes the guy tick and hopefully will be dealing with this in some detail in a future Blog.
In the meantime, what I can say in Bannon's favour is that if, as widely reported, he was instrumental in having President Trump distance America from the Paris Climate Accord, the guy cannot be all bad.
The other thing I can say is that to suggest Trump was propelled to power by right wing fanatics, is so much stuff and nonsense. Assuming Right Wing Fanatics even voted, which I very much doubt they do, their numbers are totally insufficient to have made a difference in last November's Presidential Election. Rather it was those Americans who are tired of Political Correctness and Entitlement Seeking Hangers-On who put Donald Trump in the White House and they are not going away irrespective of the vendetta launched by the Progressive Left to destroy The Donald.
And it is not that Donald Trump is without blame. The truth is the guy is an abomination... his daughter would have been a preferred choice. But the guy continues to get some things right.
For instance, in addition to renouncing the Paris Accord, President Trump has just recently Pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio, he who insisted his prisoners wear pink undies. Bravo.
This past July, Arpaio was found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to stop detaining people based on the suspicion that they were living in the United States illegally. He was facing up to six months in prison.
So dear Reader let's get this straight:
Sheriff Joe, was convicted for stopping migrants to determine if they had entered his country illegally. Given that the Arizona border has been an open sieve for the last 40 plus years would that not be his job?
And how could a Judge order him not to do what he legally is required to do? This could only happen in the United States where Cities and even States go out of their way to harbour illegals no matter how bad some of these dudes are.
So while we may agree that Trump is a buffoon... he continues to do things which I can fully support.
As I see it...
