Bannon Claims Trump Plans Unprecedented Third Term in 2028 Despite Constitutional Ban

Steve Bannon, former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, has publicly claimed that Trump will secure an unprecedented third presidential term in 2028, despite the clear constitutional prohibition under the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms. Bannon asserted that there is a secret strategy to circumvent this amendment, though he has not disclosed specifics, promising details will be revealed "at the appropriate time." He described Trump as an "instrument of divine will" and emphasized that the American people need Trump to continue leading the country, expressing strong confidence in Trump's chances of winning in 2028. Legal experts maintain there is no constitutional path to a third term, underscoring the audacity of Bannon's claims and the potential constitutional crisis they imply. Bannon's rhetoric appears to blend political maneuvering with myth-making, as he frames Trump's continued presidency as a fulfillment of a higher purpose. This stance has reignited debates over the resilience of American constitutional norms and the boundaries of executive power.
