Steve Bannon Advocates for Major Changes as Trump Returns to White House

Following his recent release from federal prison, Steve Bannon has rapidly resumed his role in political strategy, focusing particularly on advising President-elect Donald Trump with regard to his new term in office.

Bannon's recent statements include proposed radical reforms of the FBI and the possible court-martial of retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, as the Daily Mail reports.

Having been an influential figure in Trump’s 2016 campaign and enjoying a brief tenure in the White House, mentioned in an interview with Sean Spicer that aired on Friday evening, that amid Trump's re-election, there should be significant shifts in the administration's structure and personnel.

Bannon's comments come shortly after his release from prison, a time during which he reportedly communicated with Trump concerning possible administration appointments.

Bannon's Vision for Restructured Military, Federal Agencies

In his discussion, Bannon emphasized the importance of civilian oversight over the military and other federal entities. He expressed a particular focus on the Pentagon, advocating for reasserting such control, which he believes has been diminished. According to Bannon, this is vital for the security and functioning of the country’s defense framework.

Notably, Bannon pinpointed retired Gen. Mark Milley, a vocal critic of Trump, as someone who should be recalled to active duty and face a court-martial. Bannon accuses Milley of actions that he believes warrant such severe repercussions, although specific allegations were not detailed in his interview.

Bannon’s suggestion that Milley be brought up for court-martial on Trump’s re-inauguration day reflects his aggressive approach to loyalty and discipline within the ranks of the military. This aligns with his broader vision of a government led by staunchly loyal figures.

Proposed Overhaul of FBI

Focusing on federal agencies, Bannon criticized the FBI significantly, proposing its dismantling. He described the agency as needing a complete reevaluation and restructuring, suggesting that a new entity should be established to handle federal law enforcement responsibilities more effectively.

His views on the matter reflect a deep distrust of the current establishment within the FBI, which he communicated in his plans to "take apart" the institution. He elaborated that this process would involve going to Congress to legislate the disbandment and reestablishment of the agency.

Bannon’s strategies include a comprehensive reshuffle of U.S. attorneys as well, whom he suggests should resign to pave the way for fresh appointments that align with Trump’s governance style. This move aims to ensure a uniform approach to federal law enforcement across the board.

Expectations Of Controversial Senate Confirmations

In anticipation of Trump’s prospective appointments, Bannon has expressed enthusiasm for the Senate confirmation processes. He foresees these being contentious but ultimately valuable publicity opportunities. Noteworthy is his mention of nominees like Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard, whose confirmations he predicts will attract substantial media and public attention.

His comments also touched on monetizing the television rights for these confirmations, suggesting a significant public interest in the proceedings. Bannon appears to calculate the political and economic impacts of such high-profile appointments and their review processes.

Moreover, Bannon’s return to the political scene has been marked not only by these controversial statements but also by reflections on his recent prison term. He shared experiences of educating fellow inmates about what he perceives as systemic injustices, underlying his broader critiques of government and federal systems.

Bannon's Continued Influence in Conservative Media

Aside from political advising, Bannon remains a significant figure in conservative media circles, where he uses his platforms to propagate his views on government, policy, and justice. His ability to influence public opinion through media underscores his role as more than just a political advisor but as a key player in the information warfare that shapes modern politics.

The interaction with Spicer and coverage by DailyMail.com show Bannon’s strategic use of media to amplify his reformative messages shortly after his incarceration. His plans, as discussed, encapsulate a vision for Trump’s America that starkly contrasts with the existing administrative norms.

Conclusion: Bannon's Blueprint for New Administration

Steve Bannon's blueprint for the new Trump administration encompasses radical reforms aimed at strengthening executive control and realigning federal agencies with a more authoritarian governance style.

From advocating for the court-martial of Gen. Mark Milley to proposing the dissolution of the FBI, Bannon’s ideas are poised to ignite significant political and public discourse.

His back-to-back interviews and comments mark a controversial re-entry into the political arena, characterized by his typical fervor for transformative, and often provocative, change.
