Trumps brain
Stephen Bannon played a big part in his success as Trumps' campaign leader. He also ran a right-radical news page and was charged with domestic violence. Now he could become the Chief of Staff of the future US President.
Even before the side of the right-wing news portal "Breitbart News" opens, it becomes clear what a day of the 8th of November 2016 is for the makers. "HISTORY" stands in white letters on a red T-shirt, a click of the "limited edition" in the digital shopping cart. The date belongs to the history book, as the day on which "America has stood up and said ... enough".
The political success story of Donald Trump is closely linked to the site and its former maker: Stephen Bannon. With every vote for Trump, the 62-year-old on election day has come a step closer to his personal goal: to destroy the political establishment in Washington.
Bannon has done a lot for the past two years. He supported Trump before others did, and he made a propaganda arm from the law populist from "Breitbart.com". A year ago the media company Bloomberg called him "one of the most dangerous political strategists in the US".
Only the former US President Jimmy Carter had politicized him. Bannon was disappointed by the Democratic policy - and reoriented himself: "I became a big fan of Reagan - and still am." But the Republicans did not like him, especially George W. Bush at the White House. When the financial crisis came, Bannon was enough.
He used this money to make a film about the Clintons and to participate in the news page "Breitbart.com". Founder Andrew Breitbart knew quite well who he got into the boat: he called Bannon the Leni Riefenstahl of the Tea Party movement party. After the sudden death of the founder, Bannon became CEO. In August, Trump made him his election leader.
It should give new impetus to the hitherto stagnating electoral campaign and attract target groups, which are usually not Trump supporters: Latinos, blacks - and above all women. Trump apparently did not care that Bannon himself was burdened. It is considered choleric and unpredictable.
Although he was to promote women for Trump, he obviously does not have too high an opinion of them. Gretchen Carlson, who accused Roger Aile's former sexual abuse of sexual abuse, said he was "totally stupid." At all, he suspects a "militant-feminist destructive force, which is also still legal."
What tone under Bannon was accepted in the editorship of "Breitbart" was, among other things, shown after the terrorist attack in Nice. An editor of the news page used the #PrayforNice to spread her racist and Islamophobic views. Among other things, she asked on Twitter, as a consequence, all Muslims deport.
"Breitbart" sees itself as an alternative online medium. Bannon is even clearer: it is the "platform for alternative rights", he recently said proudly. "Alt-Right" sounds harmless at first, but the movement is characterized by racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic positions. It is said to be linked to the right-wing "identity movement" in Germany and Austria.
Bannon would soon be able to pursue his agenda in the White House. He is currently traded as trumps of future staff. And for "Breitbart" the 8th of November is likely to be only an interim success in the medium term: the portal wants to expand. Angry whites, who turn to right-wing populists, are currently not only in the USA. In London, an editorial team was already set up for Brexit.
Angelockt from the growing popularity of right-wing extremist and right-wing populist parties such as the Front National or the AfD, Axel Marlow, editor in chief, is already working for journalists in France and Germany. The new goal is to support right-wing populist politicians in Europe.

Disappointed by Carter, disappointed by Bush
There was a time when Bannon was probably closer to the US Democrats than the Conservatives or even right-wing extremists. "I come from a working-class family, Irish-Catholic, pro-Kennedy, pro-unions, a family of Democrats," he once said.Only the former US President Jimmy Carter had politicized him. Bannon was disappointed by the Democratic policy - and reoriented himself: "I became a big fan of Reagan - and still am." But the Republicans did not like him, especially George W. Bush at the White House. When the financial crisis came, Bannon was enough.
White, angry, but not poor
The story of Bannon could therefore represent the many furious white Americans. With a decisive difference: He has money and influence. Bannon was a Hollywood production special investigator at Goldman Sachs, and made a fortune as producer of the Seinfield series.He used this money to make a film about the Clintons and to participate in the news page "Breitbart.com". Founder Andrew Breitbart knew quite well who he got into the boat: he called Bannon the Leni Riefenstahl of the Tea Party movement party. After the sudden death of the founder, Bannon became CEO.

Investigations concerning domestic violence
Shortly after his appointment, the New York Times reported that Bannon had been investigated in 1996 for domestic violence. Bannon's then wife complained that he had attacked her at her house in Santa Monica, California. He had threatened that if he made the incident public, he and his attorneys would see to it that they were condemned as guilty. Not him. And if he were to be guilty, he would make sure that she and the twins did not see a penny of support.Although he was to promote women for Trump, he obviously does not have too high an opinion of them. Gretchen Carlson, who accused Roger Aile's former sexual abuse of sexual abuse, said he was "totally stupid." At all, he suspects a "militant-feminist destructive force, which is also still legal."
Speech tube of the right
Many years later, Bannon had made the voice of the Right from the side "Breitbart", wrote the "Washington Post". After a white man of hatred shot nine blacks in a church in Charleston in June 2015, "Breitbart" titled: "Show them high and proud: The flag of the Confederation proclaims a glorious heritage." The flag known as the "rebel flag" is often worn by the rights of America through the streets.What tone under Bannon was accepted in the editorship of "Breitbart" was, among other things, shown after the terrorist attack in Nice.

On expansion course
The site provides a platform for all of them that conservative "Fox News" appear too liberal: Rednecks, followers of the conservative tea party movement, neo-Nazis. This is "not journalism but media activism", said Buzzfeed chief editor Ben Smith about "Breitbart". "Bannon can tell about almost every mean thing," Hillary Clinton said. "Breitbart" also went against established Republicans, as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan. Everything that somehow smells of solid structures, of career, of old power, hates Bennon.Bannon would soon be able to pursue his agenda in the White House.
