No prior political campaigning experience Steve Bannon Age: 62 Campaign Chairman

Bannon temporarily stood down as executive chairman of Brietbart News, a right-wing news organisation which favours Trump, to become his campaign chairman in August 2016. Bannon has been accused of using Breitbart as "Trump's personal Pravda". As campaign chairman he is considered to have made the Trump campaign return to the "bare-knuckles brawl" politics and populist rhetoric that had energised much of his primary run. Bannon's appointment has caused controversy as many news outlets have run stories about him involving a 20-year-old domestic-violence charge and an allegation of voter-registration fraud. A Bloomberg article last year described him as "the most dangerous political operative in America".

4 years of political experience Hope Hicks Age: 27 Communications Director

The 27-year-old public relations professional had never worked on a political campaign and joined the Trump's campaign in 2016 after working with Trump's daughter, fashion designer Ivanka. Hicks is the go-to person for journalists covering Trump's White House bid.

Trump reportedly trusts her so much that she alone decides which media gets in and who's kept out of Trump's events.

44 years of political experience Roger Stone Age: 64 Senior Adviser

Stone may no longer have an official role in Trump’s presidential campaign having left in August 2015, yet he remains an important influence on Trump. He is often called Trump’s "campaign confidant", "long-time ally" and "closest political adviser". A political campaigning veteran, Stone has built his reputation on controversy and dirty tricks. During his time on the Nixon campaign, for example, he reportedly created a fake identity, and made multiple donations to Nixon's opponent from the Young Socialist Alliance. He then tipped off a local newspaper about those donations, to prove Nixon's opponent was a left-wing extremist. His friendship with Trump matured in 2012, during Trump's campaign to question the validity of President Obama's birth certificate. Stone was credited with advising Trump on the strategy, and Stone himself called the accusations "brilliant" as "it gives voice to a concern shared by many on the right".

Pierson's role is to bring tough-talking conservative messages with a Texas twang on to the screen.
