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."

This topic reminds of the Michael Obama will be the next Democrat nominee for President garbage that we were flooded with for years.
Good catch
Comments like this make Bannon look like an idiot.
Exactly. I love it.
Amendment XXII is incredibly poorly drafted, and I have said here many times that the Amendment does not bar succession to the Presidency by a man who has already served two terms.
I said it was true for Clinton, I said it was true for Obama, and it is just as true for Trump.
Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea - it’s not, for many reasons. But it is not prevented by Amendment XXII.
