How far will Donald Trump go during his second term and who’s helping shape his path? In this revealing session from the FT Weekend Festival US, political strategist and media executive Steve Bannon returns to the stage to unpack the momentum behind Trump’s political resurgence. Titled “Return of the Kraken: How Far Will Trump Go?”, this panel investigates the forces driving Trump’s comeback, from grassroots movements to elite influence. Bannon offers an insider’s view of Trump’s tactics, Republican Party shifts, and the role of media and myth in building political power. Moderated by Financial Times US National Editor and Columnist Edward Luce, this conversation explores what the second Trump presidency holds for America and the impact of an already turbulent first 4 months as President. 📍 Filmed live at FT Weekend Festival US 📅 Washington, D.C. | May 2025 🔗 Watch more sessions from the FT Weekend Festival US: https://usftweekendfestival.live.ft.c…
