Steve Bannon Is Already Claiming Trump Can Run Again in 2028

The political strategist says the Constitution doesn’t count in this case.

Summary

Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.

Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.

    Like seriously, anyone expecting “bureaucracy” to stop these people is huffing a lot of copium.

    You literally have business leaders trying and failing to talk Trump out of the tariffs.

    The rules literally have not mattered at least since we let our government get away with War Crimes during the Iraq War, this is just the logical end result of that path.

      I’m sure there’s plenty more, but that’s what I can manage off the top of my head.

      Well until recently copium would of involved never seeing the public execution of a healthcare CEO, but here we are.
