A former strategist for the White House has made the bold claim that Trump will return to the presidency in 2028, despite constitutional restrictions.
Steve Bannon, who played a significant role during Donald Trump’s initial term, shared his controversial views in a recent interview.
Bannon remains steadfast in his support for Trump, suggesting that there is a covert plan to extend Trump’s presence in the White House beyond a second term, even though this would breach constitutional limits.
In a discussion with The Economist, published on October 23, Bannon outlined a potential strategy that could allow Trump to maintain his grip on power.
Bannon dismissed the constitutional law, specifically the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms.
He stated, “There’s many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan.”
“He’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ’28, and people just sort of [need to] get accommodated with that.”
Bannon also suggested that Trump would encounter fewer obstacles in his 2028 campaign compared to 2016 or 2024, asserting that the Democratic opponent would be inconsequential.
Disturbingly, Bannon described Trump as a ‘vehicle of divine providence.’
He explained, “He’s not perfect. He’s not churchy, not particularly religious, but he’s an instrument of divine will. And you could tell this by how he’s been able to pull this off. We need him for at least one more term, right? And he’ll get that in ’28.”
“We had longer odds in ’16 and longer odds in ’24 than we’ve got in ’28. We have to finish what we started.”
These declarations arise amid heightened concerns over a potential authoritarian move by Trump.
Recently, large numbers of people participated in ‘No Kings’ demonstrations across the United States, expressing their disapproval.
Protests were reported in approximately 2,500 cities nationwide. Trump has often trivialized these worries, posting AI-generated videos mocking the demonstrators and depicting himself wearing a crown on his social media platforms.
In a conversation with Fox News, Trump seemed to address the nationwide protests occurring in cities like Miami and Los Angeles.
“A king! This is not an act,” Trump commented in a preview clip. “You know – they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king.”
