On Friday, a tension seemed to emerge between Bannon's rhetoric and Trump's actions as president. Indeed, Bannon has said anger at Wall Street was a big part of the populist movement he was trying to foster. Trump's actions Friday, which simply launch reviews, will have little practical effect in themselves, analysts said. This week's edition of Time asks, “Is Steve Bannon the Second Most Powerful Man in the World?”By contrast, Bannon's stated views on Wall Street diverge from the approach suggested by Trump's actions Friday. Some argue that there isn't an inconsistency between populism and Trump's actions Friday.
