President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Stephen K. Bannon will be the White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor while Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus will serve as White House Chief of Staff.

“Bannon and Priebus will continue the effective leadership team they formed during the campaign, working as equal partners to transform the federal government, making it much more efficient, effective and productive,” stated a press release from Trump’s transition team on Sunday. “Bannon and Priebus will also work together with Vice President-elect Mike Pence to help lead the transition process in the run-up to Inauguration Day.”

“I am thrilled to have my very successful team continue with me in leading our country,” stated President-elect Trump per the press release. “Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory. Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again.”

Bannon responded to the position, saying, “I want to thank President-elect Trump for the opportunity to work with Reince in driving the agenda of the Trump Administration.”

“We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led to victory,” Bannon added. “We will have that same partnership in working to help President-elect Trump achieve his agenda.”

“It is truly an honor to join President-elect Trump in the White House as his Chief of Staff,” Priebus stated of the annoucement. “I am very grateful to the President-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism. He will be a great President for all Americans.”

It is Cabinet to appoint. What is the difference between the ultra right Bannion and the ultra left Valerie Jarrett?

I've only found positive articles (if they are true) about Priebus, except for him mentionning he trusts Trumps' judgement, but so did Goering. Bannon is whole different kettle of fish, he seems to be exactly what he looks like: an angry, dishevelled, out of shape, nefarious character. I wasn't surprised he had orchestrated the flaunting of the 3 woman alleged to have been raped/molested by Bill Clinton at the debate. First, Hillary was running not Bill, and to be so crass as to do that when her family was there to support her was just way to sinister and full of hatred to be done out of rivalry. He stood at the back, looking wild and grinning the whole time!! This to me shows how an unhappy, mean and a boorishly man he is, and to think he now has a voice in the White House is incredulous.

I didn't realize that Trump and Goering had ever met.

I'm sure that they'd like each other, though.

Disagreement between/among executives is good. That's how issues get discussed and compromises made.
When everyone agrees there is no need to explore other avenues, it's the 'same old, same old' never changing policies that the electorate voted to get gone.

Yes we need a Himler, Goering, Eichmann, Goebbels and a Speer in cabinet every once in a while to shake up the status quo.
