Summary
Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.
Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.
Meh who cares. This country is beyond fucked. It was fucked 50 years ago. You’re all just slowly watching the wheels fall off the bus even tho the driver is already dead.
The fact that it’s decaying doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care.
It’s an obvious to meant to make us waste time not fighting the near term fights. Bannon is an idiot, we should ignore this and focus on getting ready to resist and insist starting Jan 20th at noon.
This will be the line. And MAGA Republicans will fall in line.
Count on it.
Honestly I don’t think he could maintain his health for that much longer.
Mind is already gone, body will follow. Then JD Vance.
I don’t think JD Vance could win an election.
He will be 82 in 2028 and even less coherent than he is now. I am pretty sure the MAGA-idiots are counting on JD Vance to take over and run in 2028 in Trumps place.
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
Run for what ? I thought that he was supposed to get rid of elections.
We should bring back pillories.
Has there ever been a non-violent overthrow of a fascist or otherwise authoritarian regime? Genuine question. I can’t think of any, but I’m no expert.

Not totally non-violent, but the closest I know.
Chile’s dictatorship became a democracy after the UN helped pressure Pinochet to hold a vote. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Chilean_presidential_referendum
Not when 80 million people would kiss the dictator’s wrinkled ass.
Until recently, I always thought that is how it was. I was taught in school that it had to be 2 consecutive terms and then a term off and then 2 more back on would be possible. I’m not saying that I am correct, but I am saying that a lot of American’s might believe this to be true and support trump running for another term.
And if that fails, since there are no Wookies on Endor
Ah the old Putin -Medvedev trick.
So sick of these scum already and donvict’s term hasn’t even started. Bannon can go fuck himself.
Yup, breathing machines can keep old vegetables fresh longer. What was the question?!
His brain will be complete mush by then. It’s already a tossed salad.
Oh, Mitt. There isn’t going to be a 2028 election, you beautiful, dumb Moron… Mormon.
