    Trump’s Chief Strategist is a White Nationalist

    Today, President-Elect Donald Trump made two notable staff choices. The first, at a glance, appears fairly normal: Reince Preibus is taking the Chief of Staff position. The second choice is Steven Bannon, Breitbart Executive Chairman, who has been appointed Chief Strategist. Let’s talk about him first. Trump & Bannon have a great deal in common, making Trump’s choice unsurprising: Like…
