"Who is running the show?"


  

          

I have a distinct and uneasy feeling it's Steve Bannon.

...The New York Times reports: " Bannon remains the president's dominant adviser, despite Mr Trump's anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed, giving a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban."

Which is to say that Trump is spewing about his two most controversial orders – that line about "not fully briefed" is code for the President not having read an order that stunned the national security establishment. We have read enough now to know that Trump was infuriated by the secretive drafting and chaotic roll-out of the travel ban, another order that stunned the national security establishment.

So who's in charge? If Bannon writes the orders and Trump signs without reading, is Bannon the second most powerful person in the world, as described on the cover of Time last week or, as George W. Bush was wont to say, did the magazine "misunderestimate" Bannon's power in a chaotic and still under-staffed White House?
