Former White House strategist Steve Bannon is making waves again — and this time, his message is shaking up Washington.
In a fiery new interview with The Economist, Bannon boldly declared that President Donald J. Trump will serve a third term, claiming there’s already a plan in motion to make it happen.
“He’s going to get a third term. Trump ’28 — people just need to get comfortable with that,” Bannon said confidently during the sit-down in Washington, D.C.
Bannon: “Trump Is a Divine Instrument”
Bannon, one of Trump’s most loyal defenders, doubled down when pressed about the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two elected terms. He hinted that Trump’s movement is far bigger than any legal technicality.
“There are several paths forward,” he said with a grin. “When the moment is right, we’ll reveal the strategy — but make no mistake, there is a plan, and President Trump will be back in the Oval Office in 2028.”
Bannon didn’t stop there. He described Trump as a “providential instrument” chosen to finish the work he started during his first two terms — rebuilding the economy, securing the border, and restoring America’s strength on the world stage.
“We need to finish what we started,” Bannon declared. “President Trump is the man chosen to complete that mission.”
A Battle Over the Constitution
When The Economist’s editor, Zanny Minton Beddoes, pushed back by citing the 22nd Amendment, Bannon fired right back.
“If the American people, through the mechanisms we have, put Trump back in office — would that really be going against the Constitution?” he asked.
Beddoes accused him of trying to “undermine” the Constitution, calling it a “populist justification for dictatorship.” But Bannon dismissed that argument entirely.
“The will of the American people is what the Constitution embodies,” Bannon replied. “We’re going to be in good hands.”
Trump Movement Stronger Than Ever
Bannon’s remarks underscore what many conservatives believe: that Trump’s America First movement isn’t fading — it’s growing. Millions of Americans continue to rally behind his leadership, his policies, and his vision for a stronger, freer nation.
With inflation soaring, the border in crisis, and global instability threatening American interests, many see Trump as the only leader capable of restoring peace and prosperity.
And according to Bannon, that mission won’t end anytime soon.
“Trump 2028 is real,” he said. “The establishment can’t stop what’s coming.”
