Steve Bannon, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has publicly floated the idea of Trump serving a third term in office, despite the fact that the US Constitution only allows for two terms.
At a gala dinner in New York last night, Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon publicly mulled the idea of the president-elect serving a third term in office. Trump cannot seek re-election in 2028 since he already served one term as president, from 2017 to 2021.
But that didn’t stop Bannon and Maga hardliners from opining about the 78-year-old running again, the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports: Donald Trump’s allies have become increasingly emboldened to float their most audacious ideas as Trump prepares to return to office, suggesting he run for an unconstitutional third term in 2028 and accusing the news media of having engaged in a criminal conspiracy with prosecutors against him. Those suggestions, by Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon, came at a self-congratulatory gala dinner for conservatives in New York on Sunday. At times the remarks seemed like the product of the euphoria that permeated the audience. The underlying message was clear: with Trump back in the White House and with Bannon at his side, the old guard is poised for a new era of political dominance
