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.
Read: They still don’t have a replacement for Trump.
Of course they do, but the issue is that too much of Trump’s control over their base is from his cult of personality (somehow), not the plan itself. They don’t know how to replace that. Yet.
Musk is hoping to be next. Yes, constitution doesn’t allow it, but they don’t intend to follow it anyway.
The constitution also doesn’t allow an insurrectionist to be president, but here we are.
That’s why they’re so interested in making Canada part of the US. His mom is Canadian. If Canada becomes part of the US he becomes a natural born US citizen and becomes eligible to run for president. And this is one of many reasons we cannot allow ourselves to become part of the US.

Bannon placed second in a CPAC strawpoll
My first thought: That’d be great, there’s no way he’d win
My second thought: Democrats would find a way.
My first thought: That’d be great, there’s no way he’d win
Remember, the overwhelming majority of the country thought the exact same thing about Trump in 2016.
as parent intimated: Democrats will find a way. :-(
I’ll show me!
Who do I think I am, anyway?
Democrats, the masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

They’re putting a LOT of faith in those arteries holding up that long LMFAO
Just keep feeding him McDonald’s lol
I swear to God you can hear all the grease caked inside his body when he speaks. That wheezing, wandering, droning voice has had a few too many Big Macs.
We should go fund me a lifetime supply of hamburgers and fries.
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.
If I had to put money on it, I’d guess they contest the legitimacy of the next election, and he just refuses to step down - can only be elected twice, but he’s just there as a care taker until a proper election can happen
Or he’ll start a war and declares martial law
Martial law lets you arrest people without trial, but it doesn’t directly allow you to just not hold an election, and you can only declare it “unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it”.
I guess you could come up with some pretence then impose martial law and make it clear that anyone voting the wrong way is going to get arrested, but at that point why bother with laws at all?
Ok ok, but hear me out - what if we didn’t have elections. No problem!
Yeah but he was impeached so the first time doesn’t count /s
According to Trump and many many in the GOP, he was elected three times.
After two years into this term, he will be disqualified twice from running again.
Fascist pricks are doing something fascistic, what?!
@MicroWave “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”
“Shocked! Shocked!”
Why do people keep responding to this like laws and tradition meananything?
What does anyone think will be different this time??
The leader of an insurrection delayed investigations until getting reelected, threatened and fired people who dared to look at him sideways, and is unapologetically defying a judge’s orders while using his sentient moneybag to openly bribe politicians who say they’re willing to impeach a judge for not agreeing with the president (going against the warnings of the supreme court).
Where are our papers and pens going to get the power to do anything about it when all the power sits with the president? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, anyone who pushes back hard enough is going to experience The Night of the Long Knives.
I genuinely think we are days to weeks away from seeing a politician become a political prisoner. And even then, headlines will ask “are we inching closer to fascism?” And people will say, “this is what the laws are for. We just have to wait for the system to work.”
Lex Luthor has taken over Metropolis and is killing anyone standing up to him, Lois Lane is sobbing over Clark Kent’s mangled corpse while Jimmy Olsen assures her that Superman will show up any moment now and everything will be okay. At that same time, Perry White is telling the printer to run the headline “Luthor Shoots 61 Citizens in one day, Experts say This Could be Illegal”
Time to really get to know our communities and our people in the military. The only justice imaginable coming from this is a coup in one form or another to oust them. Anyone in the military that is actually on board with this needs to be purged by the rank and file.

The only way they could attempt this would be to violate the constitution.
I don’t think they’re gonna be too worried by that.
The more people say it’s impossible, the less.they consider the options that, though wayyy out there, are how they have found ways to do what they’ve already done.
There may not be a single obvious loophole, but a cascade of loops -a Möbius loophole -is how they approach things.
Do not forget his remarks recently about the big mid term surprise and blue states : “they may disappear off the map completely”
Not sure how you feel about that, but even in trump’s verbal diarrhoea, that seems a terrifyingly ominous statement.

You don’t think they’re covering that contingency?
They rules they have formulated and want to pass as law are that the first two terms must not be consecutive. This would preclude Obama from having a third term.
I remember reading they want to adjust it to “two consecutive terms”. Which would invalidate Obama through their mental gymnastics
I don’t think they mean presidents (plural) could run for the third term.
There will also be a rule if one of the contestants is going for their third term it’s an automatic win & no opposing runners can join the game.
Just like Biden used the SCOTUS immunity ruling to legally assassinate trump?
Democrats will not ever break precedent.
Third term?
Again with the Russian model - why not be more imaginative and declare yourself some new made-up dictator name (& just be a dictator, no terms, no red & blue, only polished golden ass), like something Borat would come up with.His supreme big handedness of the Lord, the shitter of golden diarrhea, he who licks no domestic butts, the holy eternal MAGAer, the trumpest with the mostest absolute dumptruck ass, senior car salesmen.
Musk is already occupying that position.
Isn’t it great that all of these traitors to democracy are showing themselves and their plans in plain sight? Now the American people just need to decide how to respond.
Trump will be 79 in 2 months, at 83 he himself wont be around to run in 2028, but MAGA would still be there and that’s what we should be fighting. I mean sadly and similarly Bernie Sanders wouldnt be around to run in 2028, but his movement is what we should be carrying
Nope, that is a declaration of war

Time to 2A up to protect yourselves America. Only a copper jacketed hollow point between freedom and tyranny.
FYI I know nothing about ammo other than what I hear in movies or TV.
