Donald Trump ramps up campaign attack machine with Steve Bannon

If you thought the old Donald Trump campaign was wild and crazy, just wait for the new Trump campaign now that Breitbart’s Steve Bannon has taken over as chief executive.

The new leadership — with Bannon and pollster Kellyanne Conway displacing Paul Manafort at the top of the heap — is likely to steer Trump even more in the direction of the European far right. It also tells you something that Bannon sees Sarah Palin, about whom he made a laudatory documentary, as a model for anti-establishment politics.

Judging from Bannon’s history, Trump’s campaign will become even harsher in its attacks on Hillary Clinton and work hard to insinuate anti-Clinton stories into the mainstream media.

And count on Trump to ramp up his appeals to Bernie Sanders’ supporters and the left. Pushing his anti-Clinton film “Clinton Cash” in May, Bannon said he wanted progressives to “understand how the Clintons, who proclaim that they support all your values, essentially have sold you out for money.”

Watch your back, Bannon! Get 24-7 security guards with real guns, even a food taster. And fly commercial or on Trump's private plane. No leased small planes.
