The former strategist for Donald Trump wants to mobilize and unite Europe’s populists — on the left and right.

ROME — Italy is the “center of the political universe,” according to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Speaking to POLITICO during a tour of European capitals, the former aide to Donald Trump called Italy’s League-5Star coalition government an “experiment that, if it works, will change global politics.”

Bannon is in Europe to help ramp up a Brussels-based foundation, named the Movement, which aims to coordinate and advise right-wing populist parties campaigning in next spring’s European Parliament election. Thus far, many of the Continent’s far-right politicians have reacted cautiously to Bannon’s advances.

The former Trump aide said that the Italian government is an experiment in uniting left and right. “A populist party with nationalist tendencies like the 5Stars, and a nationalist party with populist tendencies like the League … it’s imperative that this works because this shows a model for industrial democracies from the U.S. to Asia.”

The Movement — which Bannon describes as a “loose association” of people, not a political party — was established in January of last year by Mischaël Modrikamen, a Brussels lawyer and leader of a small right-wing party. Bannon began promoting it in July.

2. Don't want to sound uninformed, but...

Did anyone take this guy seriously before Trump?

[blm]

3. So left gets USED to buttress and then INSTALL the far right fascists.

Putin and Bannon sure figured out how to use people’s ignorance and emotions against democracies.

4. Miserable drunken bastard.

The only thing he knows how to do is stir up hatred. The man has realized that he can't do anything well, so he has resorted to being as destructive as humanly possible. He's a loser. I predict he will not succeed.
