Stephen K. Bannon said he expects to be "different".

Sometimes the presidential adviser is one of many characters worth a look at, looking at Trump voters, and occasionally what Trump himself might be thinking. With the Trump administration completing the first 100 days, Bannon is expected to have a "constitutional crisis" and spend on the next hundred times.

He talked to NPR in an extensive video conversation, which you can watch on it. That was broadcast in the basement studio War room, Daily live webcasts are also podcasts.

These are some key points.

He defended Trump's frequent change of direction in the trade war.

Bannon supports Trump's attempt to reorder the world's economic system. As his tariffs increase in most countries, Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods from China's second largest economy hit 145%. He has since exempted some products.

"President Trump goes all out," Bannon said. "I don't think he looks weak. I think he looks like a very smart guy trying to move chess."

Bannon claims Trump's tariffs are designed to restore high-paying jobs for the working class.

He did not defend other Republicans for taxes and spending cuts.

Although Bannon owns Harvard and makes money on Wall Street and Hollywood, he describes himself as a defender of the working class. This led to his clash with other members of the Trump League. He expressed doubts about the effectiveness of billionaire presidential aide Elon Musk, who said he hopes to "audit" the savings claimed by Musk's ministry of efficiency.

Bannon also called for higher taxes on the rich to help reduce federal debt. Trump laughed at the idea, but has not yet endorsed it.

He defends Trump's widespread use of presidential power.

He was questioned by the judge who blocked many of Trump's actions.

The Supreme Court includes three Trump appointments, unanimously agreeing that people have the right to due process in the court before being deported, and the Trump-appointed judge said “no meaningful process” was not followed before a two-year-old American citizen was deported. But Bannon used the term “judicial rebellion”.

"If every one of these criminal terrorists had a legitimate process, it was 200 years they were gone. That wouldn't happen," Bannon said. "The American people support this. They have to go, and they will go."

When asked if he wanted to say that constitutional safeguards were “inconvenient”, he said: “Convenience is one thing, but you don’t need it. It’s a war time.”

He put forward a long-term idea of ​​how he hopes the country will change.

"We have to start doing things again," he said. "The high value-added part of the manufacturing industry has to come back. Men or women can find jobs, have family members, and keep their spouses at home if they want.

In this way, Bannon expresses his desire for an old American economic model that is related to more traditional family thinking.
