Guest: Gabrielle Schonder, producer of PBS Frontline documentary “Bannon’s War” The man credited with shaping President Donald Trump's policies and appeal with people is the subject of a new Frontline documentary airing on PBS Tuesday night. Stephen Bannon is Trump's chief strategist, but his influence has at times led political pundits to call him a sort of shadow president, pulling the strings behind the scenes, though rarely in the spotlight.
