White House defends having Bannon at national security meetings

Steve Bannon.
AP January 29, 2017
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Sunday said the addition of President Donald Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, to regular meetings of the country’s top national security officials was essential to the commander in chief’s decision-making process.
Trump took steps Saturday to begin restructuring the White House National Security Council, adding the senior adviser to the principals committee, which includes the secretaries of state and defense. At the same time, Trump said his director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would attend ‘‘where issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed.’’
Bannon served in the Navy before attending Harvard Business School, working at Goldman Sachs, starting his own media-focused boutique investment banking firm and later heading the ultraconservative outlet Breitbart News.
‘‘He is a former naval officer. He’s got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape that we have now,’’ White House press secretary Sean Spicer told ABC’s ‘‘This Week.’’.................

President Trumps First Defeat

The immigration order creates an international mess—and a political embarrassment.
By Blake Hounshell
January 29, 2017
“It’s working out very nicely,” President Donald Trump said on Saturday afternoon as he signed his latest batch of executive actions. “You see it in the airports.”
It was the usual confident swagger from a man accustomed to getting his way. But by then, a revolt against the president’s immigration order was already brewing, led by refugee rights groups, the American Civil Liberties Union, Democrats and liberals on social media, who had woken up to reports suggesting it was not working out very nicely at all. By 7:30 in the evening, protests at major airports across the United States had swollen, a federal judge was hearing a legal challenge, and cable news networks—with one notable exception—were covering the stunning events live. Passions ran so high that New Yorkers, many joked, were actually volunteering to go to JFK Airport to show solidarity with those detained by bewildered immigration officials.
Was this what Trump had in mind? His executive order temporarily barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States had been in effect for only about 24 hours, and it was already facing severe blowback. The hastily crafted order, which sent shock waves of confusion across the U.S. government and was temporarily and partially blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Ann Donnelly, caught thousands of Muslim travelers unawares, separating family members from one another and stranding many in legal limbo.
Now, what was meant as a bold assertion of presidential prerogative and a down payment on Trump's promise to “eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face of the Earth” has dealt the president his first political defeat and energized his opponents after a week of demoralizing developments. And it has sharpened divisions between those Americans willing to take extreme measures to prevent the possibility of future attacks—and those who view such steps as abhorrent and misguided..................
