President Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon predicted Thursday that President Trump will go to prison if a Democrat wins back the White House in 2028.

“God forbid we don’t win in ’28, President Trump is going to prison,” Bannon, who was Trump’s adviser in his first presidency, said Thursday during an appearance on Real America’s Voice.

“And people are sitting around — still with the glow of Nov. 4 and all the inaugurations and all the balls. We’re at war, and things that’ve happened in the last 72 hours — if you don’t understand we’re in political warfare, you’re not awake,” he said in remarks highlighted by Mediaite.

Trump’s flurry of executive actions since taking office in January has spurred myriad legal cases. Courts have repeatedly paused actions such as mass firings of federal workers and sweeping moves on immigration.

Thoughts? Concerns? After two terms? I don't see it. I could be wrong.

While anything can happen Bannon is of the rails these days. There is a reason he is no longer on Trumps active team.

I don’t honestly see a democrat winning in 2028 but who knows. Bottom line is it was a long hard road to Nov 2024. Why not enjoy what we have now?

[iamgalt]

I think it’s entirely possible.

[madison10]

I think Bannon talks too much.

If Democrat wins White House in 2028

Another 4 years of Biden and more corrupt judges.

Hand cuffs to ankles ensues

“Thoughts? Concerns? After two terms? I don’t see it. I could be wrong.”

TDS is strong. Many Dem politicians have it, and their hard left base is rampant with it.

Since the Dems really don’t have an agenda, I can see them jailing President Trump as an offering to their base.

[ChicagoConservative27]

very true

[Frank Drebin]

Trump isn’t going to jail.

[Joann37]

It’s certain they will try! Praying JD or someone else can get in there to help perpetuate Trump‘s cleanup of government.

[sit-rep]

too bad our side isnt saying this about anyone in 2025...

[Red Badger]

The Left is nothing, if not vindictive..................

[Qwapisking]

if President Donald J Trump Makes America Great Again then the left tries to jail a successful President, the people will be demanding democrat heads rolled. the people are generally dumb and don’t pay much attention to the political realm BUT they aren’t dumb enough to not see through the leftist BS and any politician who thinks that would fly is a complete idiot.

[TexasGator]

They are.

To use a WWII analogy, November 4 was Guadalcanal. There will be plenty of fighting before the Missouri sails into Tokyo Harbor.

There is a sentencing hanging out in New York.

I wish I had a crystal ball that told me how things are going to go over the next 4 years, but who the hell knows? Trump will be an 82.5-year-old lame duck when he leaves office in 2029. Last time, the Dems attempted lawfare to stop him from running/winning in 2024. If the Dems have won in 2028 and revive lawfare against DJT in 2029, it will be for pure spite. Are they above that? Absolutely not. But the only way that there’d be popular support for imprisoning him is if this term goes disastrously bad.

[nathanbedford]

I don't see it either because there is nothing to see.

The article distorts Bannon's remarks who was simply trying to stir up support for the midterms and the upcoming votes in Congress. To do that, he raised the specter of Trump going to jail to re-create the lawfare drama pre-election and thereby re-create the swelling support for Trump that rose with public indignation at the judicial farce.

This is not journalism, it is clickbait journalism.

The comment was made in reference to what is happening in Brazil with with Jair Bolsonaro. As far as number of terms, that means nothing to Marxists, as they tried to throw him in prison while trying to also bankrupt him in the process when he announced that he was running again in 2024.

Jair Bolsonaro is being tried for treason, the charge is trying to overthrow the newly elected Marxist, and like the cases against Trump, the Supreme Court in Brazil is stacked with Marxists.

They are trying to throw Jair Bolsonaro in jail, where they know he would be killed.

Sound familiar? If the Democrat in the presidency in 2028, do you honestly not believe that they would not end the threat of Donald John Trump?

See Brazil. See Bolsonaro.
