Trump turns to conservative flame-thrower as campaign CEO
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s new campaign CEO is a flame-thrower in cargo shorts.
Steve Bannon’s career path has been an improbable journey from Goldman Sachs insider to conservative filmmaker to media provocateur to campaign chieftain.
The shaggy-haired Harvard MBA partial to shorts and Timberland boots is moving to the Trump campaign from the top of Breitbart News, a conservative website that has emerged in recent years as a social media colossus in politics — one that has been unabashedly supportive of Trump’s campaign lately.
The Breitbart website’s hiring section says it’s looking for media junkies willing to “walk toward the fire” — an apt description of Bannon himself.
