Steve Bannon’s new movie about President Trump may not be breaking box office records any time soon. Just 38 people showed up for a screening of the former White House chief strategist’s film “Trump @ War” at a hotel in Staten Island on Monday, per the New York Daily News. But Bannon, who also gave a speech to the small crowd, was reportedly unabashed about lack of turnout.

After leaving the White House, Mr Bannon has been throwing his weight behind far-right politicians in Europe and elsewhere in an attempt to shake up the global order.
