Is “President Bannon” losing? The influential presidential adviser appears to be locked in a power struggle with Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, such that Trump recently scolded the two.
Sources say he ordered them to “Cut it out” and insisted, “We gotta work this out.” What will it mean? Observers have called it a battle for the president’s “soul,” pitting Bannon’s nationalism against Kushner’s globalism. They’ve reportedly agreed to “bury the hatchet,” but recent policies — and Bannon’s lost National Security Council status — indicate that Kushner’s views are prevailing.
