Steve Bannon continues expressing frustration with former President Donald Trump and some Republicans, more than one month after Trump announced he is again running for president in 2024.
Bannon, a longtime Trump ally who served as White House strategist in 2017, has been critical of his former boss since the midterm elections. During an episode of his podcast "War Room," Bannon called on Trump to get more involved with policy issues like the massive $1.5 trillion omnibus bill, which cleared the House on Friday.
"You've got to get off the Truth [Social], got to get engaged in these battles up here right now, because that sets the stage for your second term," Bannon said.
Bannon also spoke out against the Republicans who supported the bill's passage, saying it would "kill the economy" and called anyone who voted for it "your enemy politically."

How Steve Bannon used Cambridge Analytica to further his alt-right vision for America
Bannon wanted to use the sorts of aggressive messaging tactics usually reserved for geopolitical conflicts to move the US electorate further to the right, Wylie said. He had already directed a series of anti-establishment, conservative documentary films and presided over the far-right website Breitbart News, but Cambridge Analytica would mark another step in his overall ambitions to transform the nation.
With financial backing from hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer*, Bannon co-founded Cambridge Analytica in 2013 as the US-branch of Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) Group, a British company that advertises how it has conducted behavioral change programs in more than 60 countries.
Wylie described Cambridge Analytica as Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer using a foreign, military contractor
to use some of the same techniques that the military uses
on the American electorate.
Bannon and Cambridge Analytica did not respond to requests for comment to this story.
