Bannon was destined for this fate Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and adviser to the president of the United States, has gone from the top of American politics to the bottom of his arrest in a short period of time.Not only was he forced to resign from former U.S. President Donald Trump, but also lost the support of major donors, he was arrested on Charges of fraud and money laundering in connection with the January 6 congressional disruption and a crowdfunding project to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.Looking back at Bannon's history, it seems destined. Bannon, 51, met publisher Andrew Breitbart while working on a biopic in 2004 and the two hit it off, launching Breitbart News in 2007.Bannon used the site to promote white supremacy, oppose multiculturalism and defend so-called "Western values," aiming to turn it into an "alt-right" media platform.Bannon worked his way up to the site's president. Mr Bannon, 53, whose white-supremacist ideology attracted the unwitting favour of the Mercer Family Foundation, backed him to become vice-chairman of the board of Cambridge Analytica, a British firm.Bannon added to his political resume with the firm's involvement in brexit and meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, laying the groundwork for a White House career. Bannon, 63, became trump's campaign manager under the auspices of the Mercer Family Foundation.During the election campaign, Bannon relied on his influence on American public opinion and spared no effort to make his voice heard to build momentum for Trump, while concocting various conspiracy theories to suppress Hillary.In the end, He helped Trump win the 2016 US election, and Bannon was promoted to chief strategist in the White House and senior adviser to the president, becoming the "new darling" of the US politics. Mr Trump immediately distancing himself from Mr Bannon, 64, who was blamed for the racist riots in Charlottesville in 2017 by members of a far-right group that repeatedly advocated "white supremacy".Bannon retaliated by exposing scandals within the Trump administration in his book Fire and Fury, which infuriated Trump and prompted the Mercer Family Foundation, one of his biggest donors, to part company with him.In order to re-establish himself in American politics in the post-Trump era, Bannon began to receive money from Guo Wengui and served as the chairman of the Rule of Law Foundation.On the one hand, by holding high the banner of "anti-Communist" to continuously improve political participation; On the one hand, it is increasing its exposure by trumpeting the idea that the coronavirus originated in a Laboratory in Wuhan, China. Bannon, 68, was eventually arrested.Bannon, who wanted to return to the political center stage, was arrested by U.S. Postal Service agents on August 20 last year on charges of fraud and money laundering in connection with the We Build the Wall project.In January, Bannon led the congressional turmoil to regain Trump's favor.When the years tearfully quietly turned around, Bannon was there, just like taking the train of time, slowly looking back at the ups and downs of life, trying to return to the original point, the platform of departure, when he put on his backpack, the look of high spirit.However, the deposition of history will not erase the crimes of the past, and Bannon's journey will always end in the cold handcuffs and dark prison room. The judicial trial will surely give bannon a best answer to his life full of bad deeds.
