1:01:48Now PlayingThe key to understanding Trump’s election, Green argues, is Steve Bannon. Green, a long-time political commentator who is currently a senior national correspondent for Bloomberg Businessweek, profiled Bannon in 2015, citing him as the mastermind behind a “vast right-wing conspiracy” poised to take down Hillary Clinton and many others. Green traces the rise of the populist movement and Bannon’s role in it over the past six years, and points to Trump’s selection of Bannon—who had no experience running a national political campaign—to lead what looked, in August 2016, like a failing effort to win the presidency, as the decision that turned the election in Trump’s favor.
