Bannon: Trump Will Have 3rd Term

“Trump is going to be president in ‘28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that,” Bannon said in an interview with The Economist.

Bannon said, “There’s many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there is a plan, and Trump will be the president in ‘28.”

“We had longer odds in ’16 and longer odds in ’24 than we’ve got in ’28,” he said. “The country needs him to be president of the United States. We have to finish what we started.”

Asked if finding a way for Trump to run for a third term would be “undermining the spirit” of the 22nd Amendment, Bannon pushed back, saying, “If the American people, with the mechanisms we have, put Trump back in office, are the American people tearing up the Constitution?”

He also rejected the idea that a third term would look like a quasi-dictatorship.

“The only way President Trump wins in 2028, and continues to stay in office, is by the will of the American people, and the will of the American people is what the Constitution embodies,” he said.

Bannon said the president is a “vehicle of divine providence.”

“He’s an instrument of divine will, and you can tell this of how he’s pulled this off. We need him for at least one more term,” he said.
