President Donald Trump has left the door open to seeking a third term while responding to former strategist Steve Bannon’s claim that plans are already in motion to make it happen.
Bannon, in a recent interview with The Economist,declaredthat Trump will serve again, stating, “He’s going to get a third term. So Trump ’28. Trump is going to be president in ’28, and people just ought to get accommodated with that.”
The War Room host added that Trump is a “providential instrument” needed to “finish the job” of restoring America, insisting there are “multiple alternatives” and “there’s a plan,” but declined to reveal details yet.
Steve Bannon insists that Donald Trump will be president again for a third term in 2028—and that America needs him to.

When challenged on the Constitution limiting the presidency to two terms, Bannon argued the “will of the American people” could override it, asking, “If the American people, with the mechanisms we have, put Trump back in office, are the American people tearing up the Constitution?”
Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo on Monday, didn’t shut down the idea when asked about Bannon’s comments.
“Sir, Steve Bannon said in a recent interview that there could be plans for you to be able to run and potentially win a third term in 2028,” a reporter began. “Is that something you’d be willing to challenge at the court to be able to do?”
The president did not close the door on the idea.
“I haven’t really thought about it,” Trump began. “We have some very good people as you know, but I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had. I mean I just solved eight wars and a ninth is coming. I believe Russia Ukraine will happen.”

Another reporter jumped in and asked if Trump would be willing to run as vice president.
"One theory on how you might try to serve a third term is that you could run as the vice president," the reporter stated.
"Yeah, I’d be allowed to do that," Trump responded.
The reporter asked, "Do you think the White House, or the White House counsel [inaudible] is in legal position like this?"
"No, you’d be allowed to that, but I wouldn’t want– I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute," Trump said.
"You’re ruling that out?" the reporter asked.
Trump replied, "Yeah, I wouldn’t rule that out because it’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that. It’s too cute. It’s not– it wouldn’t be right."

Trump has long teased a third term, while often claiming that he is just joking.
Speaking to NBC News in March, Trump said of a third term that "there are methods which you could do it" and that "a lot of people want me to do it," but added that "it is far too early to think about it."
Trump's approval stands at 45.1% per RealClearPolitics, his highest ever, and he's been distributing “Trump 2028” hats to White House visitors.
