He appointed Steve Bannon to be a strategist and advisor. Many were worried that Bannon would end up the chief of staff, which would have been a significantly more powerful position. Instead Reince Priebus is the chief of staff.
48 hours ago the meme was "Bannon is going to be chief of staff! What horror!" Then, when he didn't actually do it, the fretting is over how the chief strategist of the campaign is also going to be an adviser in the White House (which isn't all that surprising).
Not that Bannon isn't a POS, and not that Breitbart isn't despicable. It's just not helpful to inaccurately overstate his role.

He's appointed actual white nationalist Steve Bannon his chief of staff
Speaking as a middle-lower class, middle-aged white male, born, raised in and retired to Middle America, this is bad why?
Although we prefer Alt Right or it's Alt West subset to distinguish us from the Alt White Daily Stormer types.
The president wants to keep a database full of muslims, but calling him names is the problem? He's appointed actual white nationalist Steve Bannon his chief of staff, but saying so is the real issue?
