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.
