Summary
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon revealed that MAGA operatives are “working on” securing Donald Trump a third presidential term in 2028, despite constitutional term limits.
In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Bannon said, “We’ll see what the definition of term limit is,” suggesting they’re exploring ways to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.
Recently released from prison after serving four months for contempt of Congress, Bannon placed second in a CPAC straw poll for 2028 GOP nominees behind JD Vance, while maintaining tensions with Trump adviser Elon Musk.
To be honest, the most likely scenario in my mind is some form of war declaration or emergency, suspending elections has precedent during wartime.
So ramp up tension with either Canada or Mexico; then manufacture some incident and invade to “protect democracy” or some shit…bada bing bada boom, a nice little war and the ability to declare martial law.
A very handy use of the expansionalist dreams of GOP, but more likely is that Trump will just use the war on immigrants as an excuse to suspend elections.
Is there precedence for that in the US? I can’t find an example of US elections being suspended during war time, even the 1964 election happened during a war period.
It’s not even that elections could be stopped it’s that war powers notably direct media manipulation make it much much easier to win an election or rig it.
Let me guess, “Zelensky did it first”?
