What are the implications of the 22nd Amendment for Trump's potential 2028 run?

Steve Bannon 0:00

Trump is going to be president in 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.

Unknown 0:12

So, Bob, the 22nd Amendment, pretty plain as day. It's very clear a person cannot be elected to president more than twice. So what do you make of Bannon's comments? Plain as day, to be sure. The U.S. Constitution says two terms only. But what's also plain as day, Tony, is that President Trump is close to Steve Bannon, Steve Bannon's close to people in Congress, and many Republicans want to see the President re-nominated in 28, despite what the Constitution says. And that could create a real legal showdown. If he is re-nominated and the President accepts the nomination in 2028, again, despite the Constitution, You could have the Congress and the courts really face a standoff over whether this could move forward.

Unknown 0:52

And the courts would ultimately have a huge say, perhaps the say, over whether that could happen. But we're in such an unprecedented moment when you have the president's allies, some of his top allies like Steve Bannon, actively toying with the idea of pushing him to be the candidate in 2028 and 2040. Just see what happens. That's something that could be historic and also troubling for many Democrats who worry Trump's pushing the Constitution, pressuring it in an unnecessary way. Sir, Steve Bannon said in a recent interview that there could be plans for you to be able to run and potentially win a current term in 2028.

How does the conversation shift to Steve Bannon's influence in politics?

Unknown 1:26

Is that something you'd be willing to challenge in court to be?

Donald Trump 1:30

Well, I haven't really thought about it. We have some very good people, as you know. But I've had 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. we just did you know we just left and when you look at the treaty we just did that was a war that was thousands of people were already shot at the border and when you look at what we just did was pretty amazing pretty amazing we got a lot of a lot of good credit and i really have to thank malaysia for that because they're really the prime minister and everybody really helped get the two countries together but It was quite a great peace treaty. But that was one of eight.

Donald Trump 2:16

And it makes me feel good. I mean, it's millions of people that we saved. I saved the lives of millions of people. That's what's important. Yeah.

Naomi Wolf 2:24

Who are the very good people?

Donald Trump 2:27

They are good people.

Unknown 2:28

Well, you said that by 2028, they're very good people.

Donald Trump 2:32

Well, we have great people. I don't have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here. We have J.D., obviously.

What are the legal challenges surrounding Trump's potential candidacy?

Donald Trump 2:39

The vice president is great. I think Marco's great. I think... I'm not sure if anybody would run against those. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable. I really do. I believe that. I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever. It's very terrible. I have my best numbers. If you read it... Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me. All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don't.

Unknown 3:09

One theory on how you might try to serve a third term is that you could run as the vice president.

Donald Trump 3:15

Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that.

Unknown 3:16

Is it the White House or the White House counsels or your legal position?

Donald Trump 3:20

No, you'd be allowed to do that, but I wouldn't do it. I think it's too cute. 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.

Unknown 3:33

There's a plan. Trump will be president in 2028. I want to start here. This is the only way for Steve Bannon to get attention right now. He's out of the loop in this White House. It's not like the first term. And I am seeing on social media a lot of Democrats clapping like seals and doing exactly what Steve Bannon wants them to do, which is talk about Steve Bannon and his Bengali-like effort to keep Trump in power when he's an 83-year-old geriatric.
