Trump and Bannon’s Trolling Sparks Debate Over Third Term

URGENT UPDATE: President Donald Trump and former aide Steve Bannon are igniting controversy with their recent discussions about a potential third term in office, a move deemed unconstitutional. Journalist Jonathan Karl revealed this during an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” earlier today, where he emphasized that their remarks are primarily aimed at trolling specific political figures, notably JD Vance.

Karl, author of Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America, stated, “The reason why he keeps bringing up Trump 2028 — he’s got the hats he shows everybody. It is absolutely trolling.” He highlighted that this ongoing dialogue is not only a jab at Trump’s critics and Democrats but also a strategic move against Vance, a Republican contender.

Despite being 79 years old and constitutionally prohibited from seeking a third term, Trump and Bannon have suggested that he could continue to influence politics into his 80s. This raises questions about the prospects for Vance and other potential Republican heirs vying for the MAGA legacy.

Karl questioned, “At what point does he actually make it clear, ‘No, I’m not running, and it’s one of these guys, or it’s that guy,’ and now all the attention shifts?” He drew parallels to the Obama administration’s final years, noting how a “lame duck” status leads to diminished attention.

The current political landscape is charged, with many Republican hopefuls waiting to see how Trump’s maneuvering will affect their chances. Karl concluded, “I don’t know how he voluntarily passes the baton. I don’t think, right now, he’s serious about staying another term.”

As the political drama unfolds, all eyes are on Trump’s next moves and the implications for the Republican Party. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as it continues to evolve.
