Park Geun-hye is deeply immersed in the "sweet door" because of the woman behind her.

Trump has recently been questioned because of the man behind him.

He is a "good friend" of Trump's son-in-law. He is a "Little White House" in the White House. He is the behind-the-scenes commander of the questionable travel ban. He is the only man in the White House who does not wear a suit. He is behind the scenes big boss away from the media spotlight.

He was called "the invisible president of the United States" by the American media, and he also had a nickname: "Presidential Bannon."

Trump's "behind the scenes"

Trump made an "Atomic Bomb" shortly after he took office, turning the immigrant country of the United States upside down. Without any warning, a “travel ban” that was suddenly released by a paper made citizens of seven countries miss the “American Dream”.

Such an "simple and rude" administrative order was not what Trump thought of himself, but his confidant - the White House chief strategic adviser Bannong. Before the plan, Bannon did not discuss with the Ministry of Homeland Security, the Ministry of Justice and other relevant departments.

After the questionable travel ban was issued, Bannon was forced to expose it to the media. The American Time Weekly used Bannon as the cover character and was titled “Strong Manipulator”, suggesting that Bannon’s powerful ability to manipulate Trump.

The New York Times published an editorial entitled "Presidential Bannon?"

New York Times editorial article

The Wall Street Post, which was deeply involved in politics, was more straightforward and published a review article entitled "Dismissal of the President of Bannon." The article said, "Not a Bannon, it is Trump's death," Bannon will ruin Trump.

For several weeks, “Bannon President” has become a hot word created by the American media. It has been violently attacked by the media and temporarily transferred the “cannon fire” against Trump.

Washington Post article: Trump should fire Bannon

The crusade against the "Bannon President" is not just a war between the media and the White House. This week, there are posters in the streets of Washington's local streets.

Street poster in Washington: impeaching President Bannon

What did Bannon do in the end that the media is so vocal? Trump did not listen to his advice, why can Bannon become Trump's confidant? How much influence does he have to be the world’s second-largest power owner – the “invisible president” of the United States?

Conspired with Trump's son-in-law to "Little White House"

The American media once described Trump as such. He stood alone in the elliptical office of the White House. No one is available, no one is trustworthy, except for his eldest daughter, the son-in-law and Bannon.

DailyBeast, known for its gossip, quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the White House’s power is now in the hands of two people: Trump’s daughter-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Bannon .

"A female niece and a half", Trump's granddaughter was born in a commercial family, with good knowledge and experience. There is also a "long princess" Ivanka to help him plan. It is not surprising to find Trump's like, but also get The position of Senior Advisor to the White House.

Surprisingly, Bannon and the son-in-law who had a golden spoon were intimate and trusting each other. They even worked together in the White House to create a secret small group “Strategic Founding Organization” (SIG).

This organization, abbreviated as SIG by the media, is also known as the "Little White House". This mysterious "small group" is responsible for only three people: Bannon, Trump, and the White House chief of staff.

There is also a "Little White House" in the White House? Is the "Little White House" the organization that really manipulates Trump's policies? When the insiders of the White House exposed the news to the media, they were "plugged in" by many former officials.

During the Bush administration and the Obama administration, White House officials stood up and said that they had "nothing in the past." The White House had never had a similar precedent for small groups.

The SIG small group is called "Little White House" because it only reports to three people, but the SIG covers a lot of fields. It includes several members of the White House think tank, and is responsible for research in more than 20 fields, covering domestic infrastructure, network security, diplomacy, and anti-terrorism security.

The most powerful thing about Bannon’s “Little White House” is that the three responsible persons are the most trusted confidants of Trump. The granddaughter is Trump’s “half son” and has made great contributions to his presidential campaign.

The White House chief of staff has always been the "big butler" of the various presidents, and is generally the most intimate presidential confidant.

Bannon was joined by Trump in the latter part of the campaign, but he was deeply trusted.

Bannon is the chief strategic consultant selected by Trump. Even this position is Trump's tailor-made for Bannon. In the past, there was no such position in the White House. At that time, the officials and scholars did not know. What is the specific job of the strategic consultant? Up to now, there are few people who know the duties of Bannon.

Check out the New York Times, the Washington Post, foreign policy and other political media, and the responsibilities of Bannon are unclear. He only said that he is the main creator of Trump's policy.

He is the only man in the White House who does not wear a suit.

How special is Bannon? It can be seen from the clothing.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of the Miss Universe beauty pageant, Trump is a VIP member of the Appearance Association. The word "look at the face" can almost sum up his attitude towards women.

After becoming president, he asked the White House staff for dress code, requiring men to wear suits, and women's clothing should be more feminine.

The rules are used to be broken. There are rules, there will be "exceptions", Bannon is the exception.

Bannon has been caught by Trump's media footage for many times. Whether it's a national event or a daily trip, he always wears a casual jacket that is gray and sloppy, not far from Trump.

In the various photos of the White House meeting, the "uncle" with a messy hair and a casual outfit "stands out" in a group of white-collar elites in suits and suits.

Although there is no suit in the pen, and there is no high value of the big daughter-in-law, Bannon has mastered many core secrets of Trump.

The US media has reported that Bannon has a draft and a copy of the executive order signed by Trump, and when Trump signs the administrative order, it is arranged by Bannon. This is a privilege that the great son-in-law does not have.

Bannon vs Trump: Another me in the world

Trump’s trust in Bannon is even more than his family. When the media called Bannon as the "invisible president" to his words, Bannon remained silent, and Trump was intimate and pushed back to the spray media.

Why is Trump so trusting Bannon? Some analysts believe that Trump does not regard Bannon as a subordinate, but an equal partner.

Trump thinks they are all self-effacing billionaires, all of them. Perhaps in Trump's mind, Bannon is "the other me in the world."

Is Bannon really another Trump in the world? At least from the point of view, not.

Unlike Trump, who was born in the home of the property tycoon, Bannong counted the "Phoenix Man" who started from scratch.

Born in the most common American blue-collar family, he served in the US Navy for seven years in adulthood. He served in the famous Pacific Ocean 601099, served on the stock ship, and later entered the Pentagon to become the special assistant of the head of the navy.

However, he was not satisfied with the work of the Pentagon. He resigned and read Harvard's MBA. After graduation, he joined the Goldman Sachs Investment Bank and changed from a soldier to an investment banker.

Bannon’s work at Goldman Sachs went from the bottom to the vice president of Goldman Sachs, and he began to “toss” the business.

He pulled a few small partners to open a boutique investment bank, named "Bannon & Co.". The small investment bank focused on mergers and acquisitions in the media industry, and he has invested in five TV series.

In 1998, Bannon sold the investment bank that he had created at a high price to the European financial giant Societe Generale 601166, and he joined himself in Hollywood.

From the "financial amnesty" to the entertainment industry, Bannon is still a well-known producer in Hollywood, and has produced 18 films, including the famous Reagan presidential documentary.

He also acquired a Hollywood film company, which has turned from a financial shack to an entertainment giant.

As one of Hollywood's "Entertainment Amnesties", Bannon cleverly chose the "right team" when he supported Hillary throughout Hollywood. His "Bright Bart News Network" (extreme right-wing news website) was in the US election. Shouting for Trump's solidarity.

When all the media and newspapers are consistently directed to Hillary, Bannon's website is one of only a few media that supports Trump.

After Trump’s victory, he also “returned to the lime” to set up a strategic advisory position for Bannon in the White House. Politicians are not optimistic about this position, but think that it is just a consultant "virtual job."

However, relying on Trump's new appointment and his own "tossing", Bannon made this "virtual job" into the "invisible president" of the United States, and even the best-minded White House aides, even better.

From financial amnesty to entertainment and then to political slogans, Bannon’s growth trajectory is more twists and turns, but he can be cited as a confidant by Trump, or because both sides have a common “belief”: I hate the media and firmly believe that "the United States has priority", both against globalization, and strictly adhere to trade protectionism, and regard China as a major threat.

The upper class of Bannon is "bad news" to China?

At the beginning of his tenure, Bannon was mainly concentrated on domestic issues (such as immigration and national security), but some of his foreign policy claims were also dug up by the media, including hostile attitude toward China.

Economically, Bannon is a typical conservative, insisting on "US priority", opposing economic and trade openness, and strictly abiding by trade protection policies.

As the most important trading partner of the United States, China will be deeply plagued by trade protection policies. Sino-US trade frictions are intensifying. The argument about the "China-US trade war" is rampant.

Politically, Bannon said in a radio interview in March 2016: "We will have a battle with China in the South China Sea in 5 to 10 years, isn't it?" ("We're going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years, aren't we?”). After Bannon took office, this paragraph was exposed and the country was stunned.

The Chinese side has already made a tough response to Bannong’s Chinese rhetoric.

On February 7, local time, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is visiting Australia, attended the press conference. When asked if "China and the United States will have a military conflict in the South China Sea," he responded, "I just want to give a suggestion to American friends: Warm up the history of World War II."

Wang Yi’s answer is well-founded: “Any wise politician will realize that if there is a conflict between China and the United States, it will be both defeated and unbearable to both sides.

Although Bannon has a hostile attitude toward China, I believe that China has the ability and strength to deal with these "harmonies".

From real estate giants to US presidents, Trump is an "atypical" president.

From the entertainment to the government's senior officials, Bannon is also an "atypical" aide.

After the travel ban, what kind of "big news" will Bannon have? Is Trump's trust in him unreserved? Will the US media strongly slash the "invisible president", will it make a crack in the relationship between Bannon and Trump? If Bannon is "out of favor", who is the next favorite? Trump's team is as varied as his own personality, and these issues deserve constant attention.
