Former Trump advisor says there are ‘plans’ for him to run for third term in 2028, despite law forbidding it

Donald Trump and many of his MAGA allies have repeatedly floated the unconstitutional idea that the 45th and 47th president of the United States will serve a third term in office. Steve Bannon, a former White House advisor to Trump during his first term, says there are “plans” mapped out to ensure Trump can run for another term in 2028. “He’s going to get a third term … so Trump is going to be president in 2028. And people just […]

Yet most mainstream economists say Trump’s policy proposals wouldn’t vanquish inflation. They’d make it worse. They warn that his plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers and demand a […]
