I told you folks….it’s going to happen!
As Steve Bannon just told us, Trump had tougher odds in 2015/2016 and 2023/2024 — way longer odds — than he does of sailing into a Third Term (or would that be a Fourth Term?) in 2028.
Mark it down!
Steve Bannon has been telling you for months now that this is coming and I actually think he’s 100% right….and I’ll explain to you EXACTLY HOW it will happen down below.
First though, watch this latest interview:
TRANSCRIPT:
Steve Bannon:
Well, he’s gonna get a third term. So Trump ’28 — Trump is gonna be president in ’28, and people just ought to get accommodated with that.But—so what about the 22nd Amendment? There are many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is. But there’s a plan, and President Trump will be the president in ’28.
We had longer odds in ’16 and longer odds in ’24 than we’ve got in ’28. And President Trump will be the president of the United States, and the country needs him to be president of the United States.
We have to finish what we started, and the way we finish it — through Trump. Trump is a vehicle. I know this’ll drive you guys crazy, but he’s a vehicle of divine providence. He’s an instrument.
He’s very imperfect. He’s not churchy, not particularly religious, but he’s an instrument of divine will. And you can tell this by how he’s pulled this off.
We need him for at least one more term, right? And, uh, he’ll get that in ’28.
Interviewer:
Uh, you’re not driving me crazy. I’m really simp—I’m trying to understand the coherence of the things you’ve just told me in the last few minutes.On the one hand, you’ve said the Constitution is fit for purpose. Secondly, you’ve said that President Trump needs another term, even though the 22nd Amendment makes pretty clear that he cannot have another term.
Steve Bannon:
And why does it make that clear?Interviewer:
Because he’s in his second term already.Steve Bannon:
Well, at some point in time, we will make sure we go through Zani and define all those terms.Interviewer:
But even if you find a way—Steve Bannon:
We will define all those terms.Interviewer:
Even if you find some way around it, you will be undermining the spirit of that amendment.And to those people who could—can the American people, if the American people, with the mechanisms that we have, put Trump back in office, are the American people tearing up the Constitution? Would that be tearing it up?
Steve Bannon:
Would the American people be going against the spirit of the Constitution, ma’am?Interviewer:
Uh, I think yes, actually.Steve Bannon:
You just said—Interviewer:
Because I think what you are going to, what you will end up with, is a populist justification for a quasi-dictatorship.Steve Bannon:
That’s not true at all. Trump wants—Interviewer:
Well, that’s what it sounds like.Steve Bannon:
It’s not. Trump is, uh, pop—uh, a dictatorship? Did you just see the compromises he had to make on the big, beautiful bill?You see the compromises he has to do on everything, on accommodating Zelenskyy, on what President Trump—President Trump is nothing but a series of negotiations to kind of keep this thing rolling forward, where he’s having trade-offs all the time.
Interviewer:
But Steve, you’ve just—you’ve just been—please give me, please give me the—please—you’ve just spent the last 20 minutes telling me we have to smash the other side.There’s no room for debate. There’s no room for compromise. We must smash them. And now you’re telling me this is a negotiation. I mean, that’s—
Steve Bannon:
No, no, no. On his pol—Interviewer:
And this is why it seems to me—Steve Bannon:
On our—on his policy—Interviewer:
Some kind of tension’s there.Steve Bannon:
First off, the only way President Trump wins in 2028 and continues to stay in office is by the will of the American people, okay?And the will of the American people is what the Constitution embodies. And so I think we’re gonna be—we’re gonna be in good hands there.
We need to finish what we started, and President Trump is the instrument, a providential instrument, to finish that—to finish this job.
Backup here if needed:
Steve Bannon claims President Trump has a top-secret plan that will guarantee he becomes president again in 2028.
He says the details of “the plan” will be revealed at the right time and that Americans should start getting used to the idea now.

I LOVE IT!
But now let’s get to the specifics because I think I know exactly how this will actually happen, and it will all be 100% Constitutional:
Here’s Exactly How I Predict President Trump Will Get His Third (Fourth?) Term…
We’ve been talking a LOT about a potential third (or would that be “fourth”?) term for President Trump this week.
Yesterday I brought you this:
President Trump Follows Up, Confirms He’s “Not Joking” About A Third (Fourth?) Term
Now today we had this breakdown on legal options for how it could happen:
What I want to do right now is break down exactly how I think this could actually happen.
This is one of those articles you might want to bookmark and save, or maybe even print out. I am going to do the same. Because I have a feeling we might just be looking back on this in 2027 and 2028 and be stunned to see it play out before your very eyes.
I want to be clear, this is pure (educated) speculation on my part. Entirely speculation, but I cover these things for a living. I live in this world and I feel like I have gotten to know President Trump very well over the past 10 years. I know how he thinks and I know how he works.
So here is my pure speculation on how I think this could play out and how I believe it’s not far-fetched at all to believe President Trump could waltz into a third term.
First, I’ll tell you what I don’t think is an option.
I don’t think parsing words in the 22nd Amendment is an option.
There’s a lot of speculation going around out there saying Trump’s attorneys are parsing the language in the 22nd Amendment and focusing on the word “elected”.
The wording of the 22nd Amendment is actually quite clear and straight-forward.
Here it is:
Amendment XXII
Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.Section 1.
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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.Section 2.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
Some people claim a workaround would be that JD Vance would run and Trump would be his Vice President and then JD Vance, once elected, would step down and Trump would take office by succession, not by “being elected”.
I think that’s extremely flimsy and quite frankly just noise to distract people.
I don’t buy it.
Mainly because the 12th Amendment expressly prohibits exactly that scenario, key part again in red:
Amendment XII
Passed by Congress December 9, 1803. Ratified June 15, 1804.The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.
And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
So I think that’s all just noise, designed to get people off track. Sleight of hand, if you will.
What I actually think will happen is much simpler.
The cleanest and most fool-proof way to get this done is to simply Amend or Revoke the 22nd Amendment.
There’s no serious legal argument that that wouldn’t work. There’s a process for it. We’ve used that process 27 times to create 27 Amendments to the Constitution. It works and it’s available.
In fact, the last one is not that old, being passed in 1992.
The problem here becomes the fact that it’s extremely unlikely in our divided modern day Congress, because Step 1 is a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, which is extremely difficult right now.
And then step 2 is approval from three-fourths of the state legislatures (currently 38 out of 50 states).
So you can see the challenge.
This is where I see the grand plan come into play….
I have always believed that President Trump and team caught the 2020 election steal in realtime. I believe that data is safely stored, either with Space Force or somewhere else.
I believe President Trump knew he needed to win 2024 organically, the real way, with such a big win that no one could question it.
I believe he knew that trying to release the data on the 2020 steal too early would have fractured our country, so that’s why he hasn’t disclosed it yet.
And quite frankly, even now our country is still quite divided.
But….imagine in 2026, 2027 or even 2028 if the IRS has been shut down, the Country is roaring again, all the violent migrants have been deported, America is healing, people are happy again, our food has been made safe again thanks to RFK and we literally think and feel better because we’re no longer eating toxins, our country is rich again, we have Bitcoin and crypto reserves, we have a Strategic Opportunity Fund making money for Americans and maybe instead of making you annual April 15th payment to the IRS, maybe we all get a dividend check from the Opportunity Fund?
Imagine THAT reality.
Imagine a reality where even his haters have to say they’ve never seen America so strong.
We are seeing the earliest of inklings of that happening with things like Bill Maher having dinner with President Trump at the White House.
Folks, it’s possible…I can see it! I can see it in my mind very clearly.
Now….imagine we’re living in that reality and President Trump comes on TV suddenly one day to hold an emergency press conference.
“My fellow Americans….”
And then he rolls it all out. The evidence of the 2020 steal. Clear as day. Irrefutable. America is stunned as the reality sets in. All of the information is sourced, verified and posted online for all to inspect.
In the following days, his toughest critics examine it only to find its clear and indisputable.
And then the reality sets in….
People start to piece it all together in their heads. He’s had this in his back pocket since 2020! He didn’t try to stay in power or remove Joe Biden. He let the legal process play out. He didn’t want to send this country into a Civil War so he held it all back. He dodged an assassination, he dodged four lawfare cases, and he won 2024 fair and square. And now he’s literally saved America and made us prosperous again! Healthy again! Safe again! Rich again! Happy again!
That’s exactly the moment that I believe there will be such a strong groundswell of support of people saying “this man was cheated out of a term in 2020. He’s done more than any other President, probably even more than Lincoln and Washington. He deserves another term.”
I believe the people will also demand it of the politicians.
And that’s when I believe there will be such a groundswell of support that reaching those thresholds for a Constitutional Amendment will no longer look daunting.
I believe we will roll right through them and you’ll be looking at a new 28th Amendment and you’ll be looking at President Trump for 2028-2032.
Of course he’ll have to run again and win, but I think that will also be the time when you’ll see the first President to win all 50 states.
Ronald Reagan came close, winning 49 out of 50, but I think you’ll see the full 50/50 go red for Trump in 2028.
So there you go!
That’s my theory and I’m putting it out there, putting it on paper for the whole world to see April 2, 2025.
Check back with me in the future and let’s see how I do, ok?
