Summary

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon revealed that MAGA operatives are “working on” securing Donald Trump a third presidential term in 2028, despite constitutional term limits.

In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Bannon said, “We’ll see what the definition of term limit is,” suggesting they’re exploring ways to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.

Recently released from prison after serving four months for contempt of Congress, Bannon placed second in a CPAC straw poll for 2028 GOP nominees behind JD Vance, while maintaining tensions with Trump adviser Elon Musk.

    You don’t think they’re covering that contingency?

    They rules they have formulated and want to pass as law are that the first two terms must not be consecutive. This would preclude Obama from having a third term.

      I remember reading they want to adjust it to “two consecutive terms”. Which would invalidate Obama through their mental gymnastics

        I think that’s the rule Putin and Medvedev used. They alternated to get around the consecutive term rule.
