which donald trump doesn t. trump is totally situational. right. he can blast muslims and then two it s all fine by him. bannon realizes he s within the enemy camp there and probably wasn t his wrd to run off to saudi arabia on the first trip. he does believe as we saw in the vatican clip that there is a clash of civilizations and he takes it very seriously. while wanting to also disrupt the elites here in the united states whether it s cultural elites, media elites, political elites. the one thing i thought the documentary played down, which i thought was a good film, was that it didn t really get into the fact that he turned breitbart, a conservative outlet, into an outlet for the alt-right. we know from watching the show, white nationalist. i m proud at mother jones, question quoted him saying it s a platform for the alt-right. they played that down. a lot going on with steve bannon. also played down the extent to which the entity he took
