Bannon's deconstruction of the administrative state meant to take with it media, academic, and not-for-profit institutions.
In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff discusses Steve Bannon's strategy aimed at dismantling the administrative state. This approach is not limited to government structures; it also encompasses media, academic institutions, and non-profit organizations. Bannon envisioned a radical transformation of these entities, seeking to weaken their influence and authority.
This deconstruction reflects a broader ideological battle over the role these institutions play in American society. Bannon's actions were part of a concerted effort to challenge the established norms and reshape the political landscape, emphasizing a populist agenda that questioned conventional sources of power and information.
