The Steve Bannon and Donald Trump Bromance

Via: https://partisancheese.wordpress.com/2017/02/02/the-steve-bannon-and-donald-trump-bromance/

"Furthermore, Bannon’s role at Breitbart is what has mainly contributed to his rapid career advancement, which placed him in what he would have previously classified as a corrupt political position, i.e, the chief adviser to the president. However, the conflict of interest present with Bannon’s close vicinity to Trump has contributed to a proliferation of cynical sentiments, especially with the Trump Administration’s refusal to accept objective facts. Of late, the two most egregious lies propagated by Trump and Bannon include:

1) A refusal to accept the fact that Trump’s Inauguration size was smaller than Obama’s ‘09 and ‘13 crowd sizes. The media, including Fox News, vehemently repudiated the Administration’s claims, but, in Trump-like fashion, most of those close to Trump refuse to take back the false claim.

2) Trump questioned the validity of the election, even though he won the Electoral College, in regards to the popular vote totals. More specifically, Trump reiterated the false claim of 3-5 million voters participating in the 2016 Presidential Election. And again, those close to Trump, like Bannon, don’t seem to be eager to callout this deceitful behavior."

Have they known each other for a long time or did they just meet during the primaries or run up to the general election?
Who introduced them to each other? And probably the most important question - How did Bannon become so influential in the Trump campaign and administration?
