Bannon: Trump’s second inauguration will be about unity
SUMMARY
Steve Bannon has described President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration as a stark departure from his first, focusing on unity and inclusiveness. Unlike the 2017 “American Carnage” speech, which painted a grim picture of the nation’s struggles, Bannon said this inauguration will emphasize bringing the country together. Trump’s November victory, including winning the popular vote for the first time, was driven by a diverse coalition, with significant gains among Latino voters and young men. “What happened on, on 5 November,” Bannon said, referencing Trump’s win. “He’s president of the United States. He won this victory. He has a big coalition to pull together. And I think he’s going to try to unify the country around a course of action that we have to take.” Bannon also criticized tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, framing their presence at the inauguration as symbolic of Trump’s dominance, calling them “supplicants” who have surrendered to Trump’s influence.
