SeibAug. 27, 2018 9:25 a.m. ET\n\nBy\nGerald F. Seib\n\nSteve Bannon doesn’t do subtle. So it’s no surprise that there’s nothing subtle about the new movie President Trump’s\n\nonetime political guru has produced to energize the Trump base for this year’s midterm elections.\n\nIt’s entitled “Trump at War,” and it’s an hour and 15 minutes of pure Trumpian adrenaline. It opens with a series of shots\nof Trump supporters being attacked by angry opponents, shifts to outtakes of Trump supporters proudly accepting the\n“deplorables” label bestowed by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, runs through a long series of\nangry ripostes at Trump detractors and praise of administration policy moves, and closes with dire warnings of the need to\n\nvote for Republicans in 2018 to head off efforts by liberals to impeach the president.\n\nMr. Bannon previewed the film for some Republican supporters in Dallas recently, but the big premiere is scheduled for\nSept. 9—chosen because it is the second anniversary of the speech in which Mrs. Clinton used the “basket of deplorables”\nphrase. The location? The very club in Manhattan where Mrs. Clinton made the speech, which has been rented for the\n\noccasion.\n\nAside from what they say about Mr. Bannon as a political provocateur, the film and its unveiling also reveal a lot about\nhow people in the president’s circle increasingly see this year’s midterm election: Its importance is growing every day;\nRepublican success starts with turning out core Trump supporters; and the best way to motivate them is by brandishing the\n\nfear of impeachment proceedings if Democrats win control of Congress."}, {"sender": "Steve Bannon", "recipients": ["jeffrey E.
