Administration of delusion.

he's a white nationalist, xenophobe and a nativist. He has no business being anywhere near the White House.

Patently absurd on the face of it, as rational human beings can readily see.

Trump needs their consent.

"Significant military background"????
His bio states he did 7 years as a Naval officer in the late 1970s-early 1980s.
But it also states under education:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon
He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in urban planning and holds a master's degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. In 1985, Bannon received a Master of Business Administration degree with honors from Harvard Business School.

If he was in college from 1976-1985, when did he log 7 years in the Navy in the late 1970s-early 1980s? Mostly stateside, I'll bet, and it sounds like reserve duty.

On edit: Irony with subject line, Bannon's daughter has served with the 101st Airborne. Additional sources state that Bannon did 4 years at sea, and joined the Navy "right after college." Your mileage may vary.

professionals who normally have a seat at the table on the NSC in lieu of his son-in-law Jared, and an advisor whose claimed military service is questionable as another poster has mentioned. Trump's son-in-law's only qualification is that he is the son of a wealthy man who Chris Christie sent to prison for corruption, thereby leaving Jared to manage the family owned newspaper and real estate holdings. Trump has said that Jared is possibly the only man who can bring peace to the middle east. This is just one more example of Trump's gross exaggeration tendencies and his willingness to put this nation at risk in order for him to always appear to be the smartest man in the room. Trump who went to a military style high school likes to pretend that he has military experience, while choosing to request medical deferments for imaginary heel spurs (on which foot he can't remember) when the opportunity came for him to serve.

Likewise, his two grown sons skipped military service as well while always claiming like their father, how much respect they have for the men in uniform. Yes, as long as those men in uniform are not them. If there is anyone in uniform who still has any respect for this man who has now made it apparent that he doesn't give a damn about members of the military, when he foregoes those who should have a seat at the NSC table for his hand picked 'advisors' who have no professional track record related to National Security is some scary shit, and shouldn't be tolerated. Every member of the GOP should be called on the carpet on this issue. This in no longer a game of pretend. This is real, and the delusional man living in the white house is playing with fire and putting people's lives at risk.
