Some members of Donald Trump's inner circle are serious about him serving a third term in the White House, according to Steve Bannon.
Trump's former chief strategist — who has remained loyal to the MAGA movement, despite the fact that Trump fired him from his White House role less than a year into his first term — made the comments in an interview with The Economist's editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, and deputy editor, Ed Carr, in Washington, D.C. this week.
Bannon shared his certainty that Trump will remain in office for at least another term.
"He's gonna get a third term," Bannon said. "Trump is gonna be president in '28, and people just sort of [need to] get accommodated with that."
When asked about the 22nd Amendment, which prevents candidates from being "elected to the office of the President more than twice," Bannon said there's a plan in place to work around it.
Baffling his interviewers, Bannon referred to Trump as "a vehicle of divine providence," saying it's the "will of the American people" that he serve another term.
"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," he continued. "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," Bannon concluded. "We have to finish what we started."

You’re kinda old
It would be a battle of interpretations between the 12th and the 22nd Amendments.
Well that sentence isn’t wrong - he’ll be President 2028, yes. And for three weeks in 2029 as well.
So far he has - to the letter.
That is exactly my feeling about it.
LOL!
Bannon hitting the bottle again.
Your daily reminder that Steve Bannon is a kook and not worth anyone’s time.
Until its adjudicated otherwise Trump can run, I say!
Loyal to MAGA as long as he can make a living off it. Bannon was never part of Trump's inner circle and is not a fly on the wall insider now.
You do acknowledge there is a phrase in the qualifications for President and VP that opens a crack for a 3rd term... to be settled by the Supremes.
No.
Seriously. I wish Bannon would keep his stupid mouth shut. This ain’t goi g to happen and suggesting other wise just makes us sound frivolous and not serious. He was unjustly imprisoned, but at least there was the benefit of keeping him quiet in the four months leading up to the election
haley?
gabbard is good as dni
rfk is good as hhs sec
neither for president
Nikki Haley? Never trust Nimrata
lookin good for 100
Can’t believe there are people who believe this nonsense. He’s already said he’s not doing this.
This fool Bannon needs to give it a rest. Get his gd clicks some other way. Trump didn’t get rid of Bannon for no reason...
I guess we will be assaulted with this nonsense for 3 more years
Yup. The Donald will be 88 at the end of another term.
LOL...I wouldn’t bet for or against Trump doing anything. He is one of a kind.
