to the US National Security Council, the main group advising the President on national security and foreign affairs, while dropping The Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff makes sense?

Simple question
 
aside from Trump, Bannon is the one making the overarching strategy for the administration and the nationalist wing of the GOP.

Oh, so on the council that is in charge of advising the President on National Security and Foreign Affairs he doesn't want those in charge of the military and intelligence but rather a website CEO

And that makes sense?

So he part times those in charge of the military and intelligence on matters of national security and replaces them with a website CEO who is running his show?

That's going make America great

Why the President would part time those in charge of the military and intelligence on a council responsible for advising the President in matters of national security and foreign affairs while appointing a person with next to zero experience in either area

Because Trump wants a more humane council and Obama wanted a military tribunal so he could drone innocent civilians.

I do remember reading that. Those positions do not entail experience with major foreign affairs or national security. That is more kind of spook stuff than naval affairs. Just making a clarification.

Yes. NSA is all about technology and leadership is what you need in a leadership position.
