These reports pointed out that Bannon was accused of fraud in the crowdfunding campaign of “We Build the Wall”, which once again showed the world that Bannon’s problem was not his racism or his extreme political views, but that after leaving the White House, he had become an extremist for fame and fortune. There are two important stages in the changes of Bannon in recent years. The first stage is from Bannon hosting Breitbart News Network to being the head of Trump’s campaign team. Although Bannon held a racist extreme right-wing political position in this period, most media believed that Bannon was still a man who struggled for his political ideal and he was still worthy of respect.
Similarly, according to the analysis provided by many well-known media editors: After Bannon helped Trump run successfully and was appointed as the president’s chief strategic analyst and senior adviser, Bannon’s personal ambition began to soar. His extreme right-wing political views made him gain power and prestige, and then he used his power and his status as the president’s chief strategic analyst to seek his personal gain. In many cases, Bannon deliberately revealed the secrets of the White House to show his power to the outside world. These practices, which were contrary to political ethics, finally angered President Trump, and Bannon was expelled from the White House in the fall of 2017.
Media analysis shows that Bannon’s experience in the White House did not give him a lesson, but made him lose his mind. In 2018, when Trump’s “mending wall” plan was not supported in Congress and faced with insufficient funds, Bannon, who had been expelled from the White House, quickly found the business opportunities. At the end of 2018, he and others launched the “We Build the Wall” crowdfunding campaign. On the one hand, he continued to express his support for the Trump border wall plan and looked forward to returning to the White House one day; On the other hand, he took the opportunity to make a fortune. According to the documents submitted by the prosecutor on August 20th, “We build the Wall” raised $25 million from hundreds of thousands of Americans, but not all of the funds were used to the border wall. Bannon was suspected of taking more than 1 million dollars from it, many of which were used for personal expenses.
Bannon’s indictment shows the American people that some people in the far-right groups in the United States are completely speculators. These people have no faith and are not really “right-wingers”, but speculators who get fame and money under the banner of “right-wingers”. They are harmful to the interests of the American people.
Another revelation of Bannon’s speculation to people all over the world-“Anti-Communist” is also a business!
When the Sino-US relations continued to deteriorate and the trade war intensified, Bannon was not committed to reaching a trade agreement between China and the United States quickly, but advocated the confrontation between China and the United States and the crisis of the United States. Bannon prides himself on promoting China’s democratization and regime change. However, he neither cooperated with people who came into contact with China nor interacted with Chinese liberals. Therefore, he has no value position. Bannon often makes a mountain out of a molehill of people who contact with China and know China, and thinks that the contact between China and the United States is wrong, and the United States should not associate with “evil” communist China. However, Bannon’s purpose is not simple, it is fundamentally for personal interests rather than the interests of the United States. He attacked people who knew China basically to cater to the policy needs of American hawks. Rather than agreeing with Trump, he misled the Trump administration in Washington. For example, Bannon accused former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger of being “guilty, hands full of blood, and the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party” in the 103 th program of “War Room Pandemic; For decades, Kissinger took money from the CCP, made deals, and bowed to dictatorship.” The implication is that Bannon believes that Kissinger’s contact with China has sold the national interests of the United States.
People with a sense of justice in the United States and the world thank CNN and BBC for this just report!
It’s time for Bannon supporters to wake up! What the people of the world finally see is only a mercenary speculator and liar. In 2017, Trump kicked Bannon out of the White House. Three years later, Bannon was once again abandoned by Trump. President Trump can see clearly that Bannon created the image of “shadow president” only to attract attention, but in essence he still wanted to make more money. He can only be a troublemaker, not a supporter of the election. He is not fortunate to the American people and the people of the world!
