Summary

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon revealed that MAGA operatives are “working on” securing Donald Trump a third presidential term in 2028, despite constitutional term limits.

In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Bannon said, “We’ll see what the definition of term limit is,” suggesting they’re exploring ways to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.

Recently released from prison after serving four months for contempt of Congress, Bannon placed second in a CPAC straw poll for 2028 GOP nominees behind JD Vance, while maintaining tensions with Trump adviser Elon Musk.

    We’ll see what the definition of term limit is

    It’s right there in the amendment:

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

    Donald Trump was elected twice. He is ineligible to be elected again.

      Yeah. The constitution also says anyone who starts a fucking insurrection is also ineligible and yet here we are.
