Irrelevant. You can leave their position vacant. The above conjecture doesn't require Bannon in particular to be appointed. Furthermore, Bannon is of questionable character. Is there seriously no better character for the job in the entire United States?

Comparison like that requires Trump and Obama to be comparable. Little overlap found between the two in history or accomplishments. Furthermore, challenges to judicial authority have not been so blatant. Finally, inept and lacking in leadership Obama has left the DNC, there is little concrete towards corruption. In stark contrast, Trump has documented instances of fraud and outright falsehoods.
Not comparable.

Who funded 9/11, Sae? Saudis. Which nation wasn't on the blacklist despite being the country that Bin Laden was deeply connected with members of the royal family ? Saudia Arabia.
Secondly - when did Europe become part of America? Funny, cause it seems that you indicate that the existence of terror in one region should blindly influence policy in another that is far away. Simply assuming that Europe has terror attacks doesn't justify the ban as implemented. At best its ineffective - ony worse than no policy.

No. Religious freedoms should be respected just as gays should be legally allowed to engage in the farce that is called marriage (which should have zero legal ramifications in and of itself due to the religious origin of it).
He isn't the first president to have suggested such things... and yet? I didn't see anyone rioting about Bush.
Donald Trump said he'd do a muslim ban. He executive ordered a de facto muslim ban as he said would (using a prior list of Obama's in hopes it would pass - it hasn't). Thing is, the President must have good enough reasons to deprive citizens of their rights with his executive orders. He is not a dictator.
Donald Trump talked about getting rid of ACA. He executive ordered a look into that.
Already his most negative policies are coming into ugly being and this is the honeymoon period of Presidents! I wouldn't take his threats against the Church-State separation lightly.

This is so asinine I am not entertaining this. Try again - that block above is not rational.

Davos advocates for vouchers, often an obvious trojan horse for private religious schooling. She has no experience in managing the public educational infrastructure - which is quite different from any private school infrastructure and is magnitudes larger. So you're left with a person who has clearly vested interest in one area and little expertise in another in an environment of scale.

So because you find him impressive means that our world leader, out of all the other ones, should publicly praise him? As opposed to an American? And someone who sponsored the Buk weapons system that took down an airliner with United States citizens on it over the Ukraine?

Demonstrate this is a credible change of opinion.

Our rights have been violated in innumerable ways, and we have done innumerable terrible things. But sometimes terrible things must be done in the defense of our country.
I personally hate secret police, but hell: it's not like Trump invented them.
I didn't invent murder - so may I murder you? C'mon sometimes terrible things must be done for reasons.
Tell you what - you be the victim.

We have video footage of his speeches and successive footage of him denying what he said.
Argue this one Nostradamus.
