In a recent interview, Stephen K. Bannon expressed his expectation of a tumultuous summer ahead, referencing a looming constitutional crisis intertwined with budgetary battles. Bannon, a key figure in Trump's inner circle, defended Trump's trade policies, including substantial tariffs he imposed on China, arguing they aim to benefit the working class. While Bannon has a background in elite education and finance, he positions himself as a fighter for the masses, showcasing a rift with other Republican policymakers on fiscal matters, particularly regarding higher taxes on the wealthy to address federal debt.
"President Trump went in full force. I don't think he looks weak. I think he looks like a very smart-deal guy, trying to move the chess pieces."
"I'm not here to defend other Republicans on taxes and spending cuts. My priority is the working class, and the higher taxes on the wealthy are necessary to tackle federal debt."
