I finished The Art of The Deal last night. Love him or hate him, everyone should read the book. If for nothing else, to understand how all these high rollers do business.

"Hey, isn't Pres. Trump great? And I'm great. And conservatism is great."
God that was awful.
Agreed, but this is interesting:

I think the consistent, if you look at these Cabinet appointees, they were selected for a reason and that is the deconstruction, the way the progressive left runs, is if they can't get it passed, they're just gonna put in some sort of regulation in — in an agency.
That's all gonna be deconstructed and I think that that's why this regulatory thing is so important.
This does not bode well for the EPA, FDA, etc. A lot of consumer protections are at risk here.

If Trump starts going after legal recreational weed, I might finally have something to protest.
I just started smoking it regularly again and it helps with my alcoholism.

I feel like he's got to be kidding himself or us on some of the Cabinet nominees, though. Knowing what I know about Bannon's ideology and things he has said, he can't be happy with someone like Mnuchin, Price or many of the Wall Street characters advising Trump. Bannon's expressed as much anger about the culpability of Wall Street in the economic crisis as any left-winger.

Can you just give us a quick summary?
A quick summary isn't really enough to fully understand Trump's modus operandi, but I'll try...
"Fight back."

He's probably gotta walk a tight path here. Given Trump's ego, Bannon doesn't want to eclipse him as the brains behind the "progress" they are making.
