Trump used to be a reality-TV star.
Bannon is basically a pundit.
Conway used to be a pundit.
And I'm sure the rank-and-file staffers are recruited from the glitzy world of the PR-industry where you play fast and loose with facts and image is everything.

That's their environment, that's their mindset. It's all about publicity and influence and fame.
