Trump associates have come and gone and while some still remain and seem to fight to be the media’s last one standing, one Trump cohort has re-entered the public awareness to shed some light about the inner workings of the White House, Steve Bannon.

After being fired from his position as senior strategist, Bannon has since returned to his post as editor-in-chief of Breitbart News. In a recent interview with Charlie Rose for “60 Minutes,” Bannon had quite a lot to say.

He seemed to enjoy blaming fellow Republicans as well as Democrats for opposing Trump. He even went as far to say that other Republicans “are trying to nullify the 2016 election,” which isn’t entirely inaccurate but also can you blame them? I think a lot of us are trying to nullify the election.

He also tried to attack fellow Republicans by claiming that they don’t support Trump’s economic plan. The very same plan that equates deporting illegal immigrants with a solution to the unemployment problem. But we all know that’s just what Bannon, Trump and the anti-immigrant camp wants us to think so that they can prevent immigration without saying why they’re really against it.

Several of Bannon’s quotes showed that he is of the school of thought that Trump deserves the unadulterated support of the masses. But if we really want to play the “He’s the President so you have to support him in all things” card then let’s talk about Obama.

For the past eight years the Republicans have fought former President Barack Obama at every turn. It doesn’t matter how popular or unpopular a president has been, no one has ever had 100% support at any time or on any bill or issue. Not Washington, not Lincoln, not Obama, and certainly not Trump.

At this point in Trump’s presidency, it seems like a pretty bold move Bannon’s taken to alienate other Republicans. Although he does not officially work for the Trump Administration any longer, he’s still on their side defending their every move. From his position as a strategist, I would assume he would know better strategy than to push away the only people who will ever sign on to any of Trump’s insane ideas.

At one point, Bannon even touches on the “swamp” as a business model. I have had an issue with the business association with politics ever since Trump entered the race. For some, they have no problem with business and politics melding together but I’m personally not a fan.

In my personal view of the role of a government, it is not a business. I understand that yes, the country needs to make money in order to fund important departments such as defense and education. If the government must be business-like for those departments then it should be more akin to a non profit. After all, government is meant to be the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

I feel that a government owes certain protections to its people, almost like protections a parent would give a child. It may seem like tough love at times but ultimately it has everyone’s best interest in mind. Trump and other Republicans like Ryan and Congressman Mike Kelly seem to be all about what the government can do for them personally and how much they can gain for themselves. Which is the exact opposite of working towards the common good.

I think Bannon’s greatest fault and believe me there are several but he talks so much and yet doesn’t ever seem to say much. You can watch the whole “60 Minutes” interview but all Bannon seems to do is stick his foot farther into his mouth. If we can learn anything from this man, I think it would be how not to be a public figure in politics.
