Time’s Latest Cover features Menacing Portrait of Steve Bannon (POTUS & advisor have 'mind meld')
CBS Market Watch ^ | 3 hours ago | Shawn Langlois Shawn Langlois is an editor and writer for MarketWatch in Los Angeles.

Time magazine, in an issue that hits stands Friday, asks whether Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon is “the second most powerful man in the world.” Perhaps.

In the piece, Time observes that “Bannon has a mind-meld with Trump” and “has the tools to become as influential as any staffer in memory.”

Time shared a few takes on Bannon from some ex-colleagues.

He sees everything as a war. Every time he feels crossed, he makes it his business to destroy his opponent,” says former Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro.

Earlier this week, the New York Times also focused on his vast influence with an article interrogatively headlined “President Bannon?” The author wrote that “we’ve never witnessed a political aide move as brazenly to consolidate power as Stephen Bannon.”

I see they gave him the Time Magazine “devil’s horns.”

Never judge a book by its cover. Don’t judge Bannon by what he looks like. That is absolutely the very bottom of childishness. ALL I CARE ABOUT is his genius. Nothing else matters.

It’s not a flattering picture, but I don’t think he looks ‘menacing’; he actually looks very intelligent and thoughtful.

Speaking of "The second most powerful man in the world"...
What's been heard of ValJar, the former most powerful woman in the world?

“but Bannon looks like a HARD CORE Alcoholic...disheveled appearance, bloodshot eyes ALL the time, rosacia face......puffy face....
Poor guy simply looks like hell!”

No chit, doofus. It’s the seditious Time magazine. Do you seriously believe that the Nazi liars at Time would publish a flattering image of a key Trump ally?

You can bet that Bannon doesn't mind at all being cast as a Rasputin or other dark figure.

It's the price a conservative pays for fame with the big dishonest media.

Trump proved that 24/7 personal attacks by the media tend to backfire. Bannon knows this because he's a master of media manipulation himself.

So the grizzled picture on the cover of Time is no insult. It's a badge of honor that elevates his name recognition and power as Trump's able prince.

I am not a “doofus”, Sergeant. I merely made an observation that includes photos and TV appearances as well as the TIME cover, so at ease!

I guess Time let go of their substantial team of airbrush artists once Hillary lost the election.

Surprised they didn't make him look "whiter". I seem to recall they got in trouble for making OJ look darker.

Here he is as an undergrad at Virginia Tech:


At grad school, Harvard School of Business:


In 1994, when he was CEO of the company that ran the Human Biosphere project in Arizona:


A couple of years ago, with Andrew Breitbart:

Looks almost like he is channelling Andrew. But Andrew had ADD, and Bannon doesn't have that rep. So, I agree with other posts here: time for a makeover.

Love it. My wallpaper. As a Marine, I would lay down my life for Steven K Bannon. Watch how the lame stream media
LIES about Steven K Bannon. Elites hate him, Party of Davos... They will twist his words to appear there is a rift between he and President Trump. Bannon loves America.
