Former White House strategist says the plan will be revealed at the right time; US Constitution limits president to 2 terms
The former chief strategist of said on Thursday (23.Oct.2025) that the President of the United States, (Republican Party), will win the election in 2028 and will have a 3rd term. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution prohibits a person from being elected to lead the country more than twice (understand this).
“He will have a 3rd term, Trump will be president in 2028 and people will have to get used to that”Bannon said in an interview with the newspaper . When asked about the 22nd Amendment, he responded as follows: “There are many alternatives, let’s say what the plan is at the right time and Trump will be president in 2028”.
Bannon chama Trump “instrument of divine will” and that the country needs him for “one more mandate”. When asked again about the 22nd Amendment, the former White House strategist questions if Americans elect Trump, that would be going against the Constitution. “We need to finish what we started”he declared.
At another point in the interview, Bannon talks about taking over institutions.
“Maga has to take over the institutions. Take them and purge them. That’s how you do it. It’s not the damn thing [Departamento de Eficiência Governamental dos EUA, que era comandado por Elon Musk]. Serious people, like Russell Vought [diretor de orçamento da Casa Branca] and others who spent years thinking about this whole plan. We need to attack and we need to attack now.”he stated.
Maga (Make America Great Againor Make America Great Again, in the free translation into Portuguese) is the slogan used by Trump in his campaigns for president. Currently, it is also used as a way of designating supporters, such as speaking in “Maga movement”.
Bannon’s line of reasoning is unclear. It is not possible to understand whether, when he says it is necessary to take over the institutions, he is talking about having a majority in the House of Representatives, in the Senate and having someone also in the White House, in a possible reference to the 2026 legislative elections.
During the interview, the journalist states that Bannon mentions the word a lot “guerra” and asks him if he shouldn’t help calm the situation if he thinks there is a risk of “civil war” in the country. Former Trump strategist says his role is “warn people”.
