Steve Bannon drops stunning prediction about 2028: 'There's a plan'

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon made a stunning prediction about President Donald Trump's chances of running again in 2028 during an interview with The Economist on Thursday.

Bannon, who hosts the MAGA podcast "The War Room," said during the interview that Trump is an "instrument of divine will" and that the country needs him to be president for "at least one more term." Trump has made passing remarks about running again in 2028, but some have speculated that he won't run because of his old age.

"Well, he's going to get a third term, so Trump '28. Trump is going to be president in 2028," Bannon said.

"But what about the 22nd Amendment?" Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, asked, referring to the amendment that limits presidential terms to two.

'There are many different alternatives for 2028, but people haven't accommodated them yet," Bannon said. "There are many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we will lay out the plan, but there's a plan, and President Trump will be president in 2028."

"The country needs him to be president of the United States, and we need him to finish what we've started," he continued. "And the way we finish it is through Trump...He's a vehicle of divine providence."
