The #StopPresidentBannon meme emerged in early 2017 following an executive order that granted Steve Bannon, the then-White House Chief Strategist, a seat on the National Security Council’s Principals Committee. This unprecedented move sparked a viral Twitter campaign using the hashtag #StopPresidentBannon, suggesting that Bannon was the de facto leader or 'shadow president' directing Donald Trump's administration. The meme typically uses imagery of Bannon appearing behind or alongside the President to critique his perceived influence on policy. It remains a significant example of digital activism and political satire used to question the power dynamics within the executive branch.
