President Donald Trump’s top advisors girded conservative activists for battle with the nation’s political and media establishments to deliver his campaign agenda of trade protection, immigration limits and a shrinking of government regulation.

“Every day is going to be a fight,” Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon said. “We want you to have our back.” He warned that “the corporatist, globalist media” is “adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda like Donald Trump has.”

Bannon, in his first public address since he joined the Trump team in August, shared the stage with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual gathering of activists in Washington that has gained increasing influence in Republican Party politics. The two, often portrayed as leading conflicting camps within the administration, offered a show of congenial unity.

Bannon, 63, brushed aside reports of friction between him and Priebus even as he reinforced portraits of their divergent sensibilities. Bannon, an iconoclastic former executive chairman of Breitbart News, is often cast as Trump’s id to the ego of Priebus, a former Republican party chairman.

“I can run a little hot, Reince is always kind of steady,” said Bannon, who appeared in open collar beside Priebus, dressed in tie and pinstripes.

No Retreat

The two assured thousands of activists that Trump wouldn’t back down from his campaign promises. Bannon said he is proud that Trump has refused to moderate his message or give any ground on delivering on on his campaign commitments.

“If you think they will give you your country back without a fight you are sadly mistaken,” Bannon said. “Every day it will be a fight and that is when I am proudest of Donald Trump.”

Priebus, 44, said among the goals of the Trump presidency is “deconstruction of the administrative state.”

Bannon said the biggest moment so far in the administration was Trump’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, calling it “one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history.”

Priebus cited the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, a decision which he said could affect the course of law for the next 40 years.

Heavy Presence

Though last year Trump was ridiculed at the CPAC conference by rival presidential candidates and he skipped the gathering to campaign elsewhere, prominent members of his administration this year dominate program.

Some of them delivered a similar message of defiance against entrenched interests in Washington. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made repeated references to fights with the “establishment” to advance Trump’s education agenda.

“The education establishment has been blocking the doorway to reforms, fixes and improvements for a generation,” DeVos told the CPAC crowd.

Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway also talked to the group Thursday. Other Trump administration officials scheduled to speak include Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency; deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka; Andrew Bremberg, director of Trump’s Domestic Policy Council; and Vice President Mike Pence. Trump is set to address the gathering on Friday.

A planned appearance this year by Milo Yiannopoulos, who was Breitbart News’s senior editor, sparked controversy. CPAC’s organizer, American Conservative Union, disinvited Yiannopoulos from the event and he resigned from Breitbart after videos surfaced of him defending pedophilia.
