Bannon: Donald Trump will have a third term
He's going to get a third term. So Trump. 28, Trump is going to be president 28. and people just ought to get. accommodated with that. >> So what about the 22nd amendment? >> There's many different alternatives. At. the appropriate time, we'll lay out what. the plan is. But there's a plan. We had. longer odds in 16 and longer odds in 24. than we 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. Trump is a. vehicle. I know this will 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 could. tell this of how we've how he's pulled. this off. We need him for at least one. more term, right? And uh he'll get that. in 28. >> 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. 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 a sec another term. >> And why does it make that clear? >> Because he's on his second term already. >> You at some point in time, we will make. sure we go through Xany and define all. those terms. >> But you will be undermining the spirit. of that amendment. Even if you find some. way around it, >> if the American people with the. mechanisms we have put Trump back in. office, are the American people tearing. up the Constitution? Would that be. tearing up? Would they would the. American people be going against the. spirit of the Constitution? Ma'am,
>> I think yes, actually, because I think. what you are going to what you will end. up with is populist justification for a. quasi dictatorship. >> That's not true at all. Trump. That's. what it sounds like. It's not Trump is 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 uh Zalinsky on what 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. How. >> Steve, you've just been 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. Now. you're telling me this is a negotiation. I that's why seems to me some kind of. tension. First off, the only way. President Trump wins in 2028 and 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 going to be we're going to. be in good hands there. We need to. finish what we started.
