21 hours without a Trump tweet. Sad! Unfair! Fake! Rigged! Meanwhile, Bannon was "elevated."

Meanwhile, as the major focus is on his Muslim ban, the protests, and the court ruling, he's done this...

Trump makes controversial pick of Steve Bannon for National Security Council seat

White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon now has a seat on the National Security Council.

President Trump signed an executive order Saturday, reshuffling the NSC and allowing Bannon to attend the meetings, according to the memo.

Bannon is not listed by name but in his controversial role as chief strategist, he can join the government’s most senior members during any meeting of the principal committee, led by National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Contrary to the past two administrations, the director of national intelligence and the Joint Chiefs of Staff will only attend the meetings when “issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed,” the order states.

It could also mean that it is easier to order the military to do something they think is stupid if they didn't get a chance to object to the formulation of that policy.
