ZERO HEDGE
In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Steve Bannon laid out what the beginning of former President Donald Trump’s second term would look like if he is elected later this year.
“The first 100 days of President Trump’s second term will be the equivalent of the first 100 days of FDR [Franklin Delano Roosevelt],” said Mr. Bannon, the host of the “War Room” podcast.
“FDR, in his first hundred days, started the foundations of building the administrative state, the deep state. The first 100 days of President Trump, I think you’ll see the beginning of the deconstruction of that and the destruction of the deep state, along with dozens and dozens and dozens of other policy proposals,” he added.
How 2024 Differs from 2016
Mr. Bannon served on President Trump’s transition team in 2016 and then as the White House’s chief strategist.
He recalled that former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had put together the future president’s first transition team.
Mr. Bannon dismissed the resulting work product as “a joke.”
“We reviewed it, but we threw that away,” he said. Mr. Christie was quickly replaced as the lead of the transition effort by the president-elect’s second in command, Mike Pence.
