Trump THIRD TERM in 2028? Steve Bannon Laying Groundwork to Nullify 22nd Amendment
The Josh Lafazan Show on YouTube - Episode 92
In this episode of The Josh Lafazan Show, Josh tackles one of the most explosive stories shaking up Washington: the revelation that Donald Trump’s inner circle is actively exploring ways for him to run for a third term as President of the United States in 2028.
Yes, you heard that right.
Despite the crystal-clear language of the 22nd Amendment, which limits any U.S. president to two terms in office, Trump and his allies—including Steve Bannon—are reportedly floating ideas to circumvent the Constitution. In a recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, Bannon boldly stated:
“President Trump is going to run for a third term… and be elected again on the afternoon of January 20th, 2029.”
When pressed on how that could possibly happen, Bannon admitted Trump has a "team" working on it.
It would be laughable—if it weren’t so dangerous.
Josh walks listeners through the disturbing pattern behind Trump’s comments, which have been dismissed by some as “jokes” but reveal a consistent desire to erode democratic norms:
Combine that with his refusal to leave office peacefully in 2021—and the violent insurrection that followed—and this is no longer hypothetical. It’s a real threat to American democracy.
Josh outlines how Trump and his enablers may try to test legal boundaries, pressure Republican-led state legislatures, or challenge ballot eligibility. But ultimately, the law is on our side:
➡️ The 22nd Amendment is unambiguous:
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice…”
➡️ All 50 states would be legally barred from placing Trump on the ballot in 2028, making this not just improbable—but outright impossible without an amendment to the Constitution.
And repealing an amendment? That’s no small feat. It would require:
To date, only one constitutional amendment—the 18th (Prohibition)—has ever been repealed.
Josh also points to a new resolution by Congressman Dan Goldman, reinforcing that Trump is ineligible to run again. Meanwhile, a YouGov poll shows 68% of Americans oppose the idea of Trump running for a third term—including majorities of both Democrats and Independents.
But here’s the kicker: even though Americans overwhelmingly reject the idea, many still believe Trump will try. And that, says Josh, speaks volumes.
In a democracy, laws matter. Norms matter. And the peaceful transfer of power isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of who we are.
Josh’s message to Trump is clear: Knock it off.
And to the Republicans in Congress: Remember who you work for—it’s the American people, not Donald Trump.
Tune in to this critical episode as Josh breaks down what’s real, what’s bluster, and why now—more than ever—defending the Constitution has to come before party loyalty.
