Hold onto your hats—Steve Bannon has dropped a bombshell about a daring plan to keep President Donald Trump in power well beyond constitutional limits.
According to the Daily Mail, in a stunning revelation reported on Oct. 24, 2025, by Stephen M. Lepore, Bannon, Trump’s former key adviser, outlined a strategy to ensure Trump remains president past the 2028 election, challenging the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit with undisclosed legal tactics while expressing unwavering confidence in Trump’s future victory.
Bannon’s bold vision emerged earlier this year, as he hinted back in March, before Oct. 24, 2025, at crafting a path for Trump to stay in the White House until 2032. His discussions have since gained traction, spotlighting a potential sidestep of long-standing presidential term restrictions.
In a recent interview with The Economist, Bannon confirmed that Trump’s inner circle has devised a specific approach to maintain his leadership. “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,” he declared.
Yet, one must wonder if this audacious scheme respects the constitutional framework conservatives hold dear. While policy innovation is a hallmark of Trump’s leadership, bypassing the 22nd Amendment—ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms—could set a precedent that even staunch supporters might question.
Bannon doubled down on his certainty during a NewsNation appearance, dismissing any doubts about Trump’s future. “He’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ’28, and people just sort of need to get accommodated with that,” he asserted.
Addressing the legal barriers head-on, Bannon hinted at redefining what a “term limit” means under the Constitution. He suggested to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that multiple options are under consideration, though specifics remain under wraps for now.
When pressed about the possibility of insurrection, Bannon was quick to clarify his stance. He emphasized that he and his allies are “huge believers in democracy,” aiming to work within a framework that respects the nation’s foundational principles. The notion of extending Trump’s tenure isn’t just Bannon’s brainchild—Trump himself has mused about the idea. He reportedly asked House Republicans if running for a third term is permissible, signaling his openness to such a path.
Support for this concept has even reached Congress, with Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposing legislation in January, before Oct. 24, 2025, to tweak the 22nd Amendment. His idea would bar three consecutive terms but allow a return to office after a break, potentially paving the way for Trump.
Meanwhile, concerns about election integrity have surfaced, as The New York Times noted alarm among officials over a recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) call. Heather Honey, a key DHS figure, revisited debunked claims of widespread voter fraud in 2020 and floated altering election rules, possibly via a national emergency declaration.
Honey, speaking to conservative activists in March before Oct. 24, 2025, also criticized cybersecurity experts for rejecting election misinformation and alleged that voting machines favored Democrats. Her comments, paired with new DHS hires like Kurt Olsen and Marci McCarthy—both tied to 2020 fraud claims—raise eyebrows about electoral fairness.
At DHS, changes are afoot with McCarthy now at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which has reassigned or sidelined all its election experts since Trump’s return to office. Olsen, previously aligned with Mike Lindell on fraud allegations, also joins the department.
A DHS spokesperson defended these shifts, accusing mainstream media of double standards and asserting CISA’s renewed focus on safeguarding national infrastructure. Yet, conservatives might see this as a necessary recalibration, cutting through progressive narratives to prioritize real security over debunked conspiracies.
Bannon’s own standing, polling second to Vice President J.D. Vance in a conservative survey, hasn’t deterred his commitment to Trump’s cause as he dismissed personal ambitions for 2028. As this unfolds, the nation watches a historic push against constitutional norms, wondering if Trump’s legacy will indeed rewrite the rules.
