Steve Bannon, Trump's chief strategist, framed his complaint as an ideological war. “They’re corporatist, globalist media that are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda like Donald Trump has.”“If you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight," he added. But as they praised each other, the men made clear that Bannon sees his role as dominant in shaping Trump's policy. Bannon praised Priebus for doggedly keeping the trains running -- "one of the toughest jobs I've ever seen in my life." Priebus used more prosaic language and spoke of Bannon as the one who pushes Trump to maintain his bold vision.
