Bannon Delivered Different Message Before Pence Visit
https://politicalwire.com/2017/02/21/white-house-delivered-eu-skeptic-message-pence-visit/SNIP.........
“In the week before U.S. Vice President Mike Pence visited Brussels and pledged America’s ‘steadfast and enduring’ commitment to the European Union, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon met with a German diplomat and delivered a different message, according to people familiar with the talks,” Reuters reports.
“Bannon, these people said, signaled to Germany’s ambassador to Washington that he viewed the EU as a flawed construct and favored conducting relations with Europe on a bilateral basis.”

alwalys use. Does it not just mean something that is not concrete 
SNIP........
Construct. Construct refers to any complex psychological concept. Examples would be a person's motivation, anger, personality, intelligence, love, attachment, or fear. A Construct's height, weight or depth cannot be measured because constructs are not concrete materials in the visible world.

Humans create these fictions to organize themselves. Other constructs would be banking, religion, etc. Am I wrong
As if bilateral trade would not be a construct.
