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."

George H.W. Bush spent eight years as a VP and finally four as President.
The Uniparty discarded that with Kamala Harris who illegitimately served as Vice President. She is not a natural born citizen since her parents became U.S. citizens after she was born.
shoot.
Yep...Another, albeit remote...but possible, path to third term and SCOTUS involvement...
Just declare Washington DC a “sanctuary city” where laws don’t apply.
ok that’s an interesting explanation
Wonder why the “Trump” SCOTUS wasn’t tossed that one?
JD in 2028-Trump is owed a nice retirement!
It will never be enough for some people, right bub?
It seems one of our side’s hobby is to announce whatever plan we have.
Bannon needs to lay off the sauce.

He’s way healthier than any 70 year old I know.
Trump can become Speaker of the House and he’s just 2 heartbeats away. /sarc
I am 85, still writing computer programs to help manage investments, mowing my suburban size lawn with push mower during hot & humid Florida summers, doing all house repairs and paint jobs myself. No cognitive decline at all. So 86 for Trump’s 3rd term does not sound impossible to me.
All the president needs to do is find an excuse for ordering martial law, postpone elections. May be Maduro will get USA into a war. Zelensky has cancelled elections due to eat. Why not USA?
“Trump is gonna be president in ‘28, and people just sort of [need to] get accommodated with that.”
Uh no we won’t get used to it.
He’s not that stupid .
We support the Constitution and no third terms for anyone .
Steve is Trolling, just to sit back and watch the Chicken Littles go into a dither over the very idea.
Fun way to pass the time and make your name start trending at the same time!
Invoke the insurrection act, suspend the election. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Trump would be one hell of a Speaker! He would have the legislative agenda by the throat.
Bannon is a pothead??
He's trying to catch up quickly, with the "Zionist!" stuff. Big audience for that these days.
