His entire behaviour, hitting out on twitter at random individuals and organisations just because they have annoyed him. Threatening the University of Berkeley with with-holding federal funds, even though the university was resisting calls to ban its controversial visitor and set up security to cover him. He's an ego-centric narcissist, and unable to take criticism...and that's a bad thing to be as president.

ok, I will bite again. What exactly has Steve Bannon said that has you worried.

Here I am talking about his word, not other people's words that the media is trying to attribute to him.

Well, I've not spoken to Steve Bannon face to face so I'm going to have to use some form of media, aren't I? But anyone who compares himself to Dick Cheney, Darth Vader and Satan isn't exactly on the level, is he? And the vitriol that comes out of Breitbart isn't exactly to be taken lightly, is it?

which tick boxes exactly has the current admin ticked?

Powerful and continuing nationalism
A trademark of the American right, often intermixed with 'patriotism'.
http://www.breitbart.com/immigration...l-nationalism/

Disdain for human rights
Enhanced Interrogation

Identification of enemies as a common cause
Muslims, Mexicans, Immigrants - You pick.

Supremacy of the Military
Another trademark of the American right, Trump wants to make the military bigger, make it better, it's not good enough, the 'nuclear' is not good enough.

Rampant Sexism
Do I really need to give examples?

Controlled Mass Media
Not yet.

Obsession with National Security
The recent 'ban' (which is and isn't a ban depending on how the government is feeling on the day), the wall.

Religion and Government intertwined
Not yet, although when they get around to Roe vs Wade this will probably start happening.

Corporate Power protected
Well, durr

Labor Power suppressed
Not yet, but we'll see...he might actually surprise us with this one.

Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
And the feeling is mutual

Obsession with crime and punishment
'The Trump Administration will be a Law and Order administration'
'If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible “carnage” going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds"

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
I could put examples here but people will just say "Oh, well that's not illegal", but it wouldn't be wrong to say that his family are doing very well out of his new job.

Fraudulent Elections
Well, that depends on who you ask too.

If you want a debate, bring along some real facts.

Did I ask for a debate? I was replying to Steve, after all, not you.
