‘Trump is instrument of divine will’: Steve Bannon claims US Prez will serve 3rd term, ‘there’s a plan'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Right-wing US media personality and a huge Trump supporter Steve Bannon claimed on Thursday, October 23, that Donald Trump will serve as the President for the third time in 2028 and there is a “plan” to get it done.
Speaking in an interview, Steve Bannon said that Donald Trump is gonna get a third term. “Trump is gonna be president in '28, and people just sort of [need to] get accommodated with that,” he said.
When asked about the 22nd Amendment which does not allow a candidate to be elected as the US President for a third term, Steve Bannon said “there is a plan”.
“There's many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is, but there's a plan,” he said, without revealing any more details about the “plan”.
‘Have to finish what we started’
Calling Trump an “instrument of divine will,” Steve Bannon said that the Americans need him for another term.
Steve Bannon said, “He's not perfect. He's not churchy, not particularly religious, but he's an instrument of divine will. And you could tell this by how he's been able to pull this off. We need him for at least one more term, right? And he'll get that in 2028.”
“We had longer odds in 2016 and longer odds in 2024 than we've got in 2028. We have to finish what we started.”
‘There are methods’: Trump
Back in March 2025, Donald Trump had claimed that there were "methods" to make it [him running for President for the third time] happen and emphasised that he was “not joking.”
“A lot of people want me to do it. But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration. I’m focused on the current,” he added, referring to his current term as the President.
What does the US Constitution say?
This is not the first time Steve Bannon has claimed thatDonald Trump would run for President for the third time.
“We’re working on it. I think we’ll have a couple of alternatives. We will see what the definition of term limit is,” he said, adding, "I’m a firm believer that President Donald Trump will run and win again in 2028. We’ve had greater long shots than Trump 2028.” Also Read | Why Donald Trump is ‘not joking’ about presidency till 2037
“A man like this [Donald Trump] comes along once every century, if we’re lucky. We’ve got him now,” Steve Bannon said.
But would the US Constitution allow that? The Twenty-Second Amendment, passed in 1951, is a rule in the US Constitution that limits a president to serving only two terms in office .
This means that no individual can serve as president more than twice. The rule was established to ensure that no single leader remains in power for an extended period.
It says, “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.”

I'm more worried about the country making it through the next three and a quarter years than I am about 2028.
But, there is no doubt that if Trump is alive and kicking at the start of 2028 plans will be put in motion to keep him in office in 2029 and on.
It is gospel at this point, among MAGAs, that Trump won the 2020 election and was cheated out of consecutive terms. Him staying past 2028 would provide him with those consecutive terms.
Steve Bannon is a combination of grifter, con man, thief, but also sees himself as a prophet on a crusade to remake the world. And he is not a stupid man, if you think he is go on You Tube and watch him in a debate.
"We're" and "We've" are the operative terms here.
There will be an election in 2028 and Trump will not even be a candidate much less elected. Anyone that believes otherwise is just tilting at windmills.
We are wayyyyy past the “that could never happen” phase with Trump. And keep in mind, this isn’t paranoid Democrats talking about a third term. It’s Trump and his supporters. They have every intention of making it happen.
Yea sure
Guess you couldn’t be bothered to read the seed.
Unlike some I don't take every seed here to be gospel. So i reiterate There will be an election in 2028 and Trump will not even be a candidate much less elected. Anyone that believes otherwise is just tilting at windmills.
But the numerous hair on fire predictions have been rather amusing.
I would say hilarious but amusing is good too
I would gladly vote for Obama again.
Bannon seems to think claiming legitimacy is the same thing as being legitimate. I remember a foreign government long ago that took that approach.
Only with Trump has this ever even been a conversation.
Whether this will be attempted will depend on Trumps health, if he is "healthy" at the start of 2028 they will try to make him the nominee. If he then loses the election they will try and rig the outcome in the electoral vote. These people have no shame whatsoever.
"Divine Will"??? Trump says he's not going to heaven.
So if Trump admits God doesn't want him and won't forgive him, what divine will is Bannon babbling about?
Shhhhh... your messing up the mojo.
If he is impeached and convicted, Constitutionally he cannot run again. But we've seen that show before. Even if he is successfully impeached and convicted, I think that he will still resist with the help of his devoted followers.
Trump admitting that god doesn’t want him is just him trolling his holy supporters to their face. It’s obvious he doesn’t believe in god but he’s more than happy to pretend he does in order to appease the suckers that support him.
Bannon has been careful not to reveal the grand plan, he just keeps insisting that it will happen. Personally I think the grand plan is in line with Trump’s past promise to his supporters that if they put him in office they will never have to worry about voting again. He and Bannon think that the military and the spineless Rs in congress will keep protecting his lawless authoritarianism. There will be violence when resistance finally goes next level, because there will be no other option.

People are saying that God sent Trump to earth to punish us for our sins (and therefore cleanse us of the evil thoughts that lurk in the hearts of men).
