Trump is correct...

After reading the following article it seems Bannon was most likely referring to the author's book. If that is the case, it has nothing to do with your conjecture and misrepresentation of his quotes.

The author infers that he is liberal and has many liberal fans.

I wrote that book with William Strauss back in 1997. It is true that Bannon is enthralled by it. In 2010, he released a documentary, “Generation Zero,” that is structured around our theory that history in America (and by extension, most other modern societies) unfolds in a recurring cycle of four-generation-long eras. While this cycle does include a time of civic and political crisis — a Fourth Turning, in our parlance — the reporting on the book has been absurdly apocalyptic.

The cycle begins with the First Turning, a “High” which comes after a crisis era. In a High, institutions are strong and individualism is weak. Society is confident about where it wants to go collectively, even if many feel stifled by the prevailing conformity.

The Second Turning is an “Awakening,” when institutions are attacked in the name of higher principles and deeper values. Just when society is hitting its high tide of public progress, people suddenly tire of all the social discipline and want to recapture a sense of personal authenticity.

The Third Turning is an “Unraveling,” in many ways the opposite of the High. Institutions are weak and distrusted, while individualism is strong and flourishing.

Finally, the Fourth Turning is a “Crisis” period. This is when our institutional life is reconstructed from the ground up, always in response to a perceived threat to the nation’s very survival. If history does not produce such an urgent threat, Fourth Turning leaders will invariably find one — and may even fabricate one — to mobilize collective action.

The last sentence is the scary part. That's like saying "I had a dream that I would kill a bunch of infants so I took my rifle into the maternity ward of the local hospital." Millions of people can die over This fatalistic theory that was created by an amateur historian.

It is simply cycle theory. I am sure that there are many traders on this site that use some sort of cycle theory. That is all it is.

Did you read that the author primarily has liberal fans?

I read that. That doesn't matter to me. But for a random guy in power to actively pursue a fatalistic philosophy that can cause destruction of the world is scary.
This guy helped put boots on the ground in Yemen. He sees the world as Islam vs Christianity and he's pursuing a conflict to create chaos. Like the joker in Bateman, He might actually relish in a dirty bomb blowing up LA because it furthers his chaos belief.
