*Questions multiply about Bannon’s role in administration*
The chief political strategist was directly involved in shaping the
controversial immigration mandate, according to those familiar with the

It's becoming clearer that Steve Bannon is making policy while Trump
watches TV. What next, press? How to cover? Pretend business as usual? We
are still struggling to grasp what it means to have President Bannon in the
WH making decisions. It's not entirely incompetence. This is the big story.
Never lose sight of him. He’s the power behind the throne (though there’s a
struggle <https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825757123548160001>
with Pence/Ryan/Preibus faction
<https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825823650909650949>). But he’s
in the open now.
