Bannon is full of rage towards SV and the tech scene. Largely based on his belief that they're undermining white America:

Trump himself has told foreign born, but now legal citizens, to "get out of his country." He's imploding our relations with long-time allies.

It's not hard for me to see Trump not caring that 100k+ jobs are being created if it means they're not going to get him any prestige for making them. He'll undermine Amazon or Google if there's a shot at doing something else over here to create jobs, so long as it makes him look good.

That's pretty scary to read as a GC holding "job creator".

I'm also amazed they are saying American workers just can't compete with foreigners.

Amazon, however, is run by a white dude, so it's going to be lower on Bannon's list.

In the video that circulated yesterday, I think that was a security guard, not Trump himself.
