Steve Bannon headlined the New York City Young Republican Club’s annual Christmas dinner as the keynote speaker Sunday night. During his speech, Bannon floated the idea of former President Donald Trump running again in 2028, referencing the non-consecutive nature of Trump’s terms.
“Donald John Trump is going to raise his hand on a King James Bible and take the oath of office,” Bannon declared. “His third victory, his third victory and his second term. The viceroy, Mike Davis, tells me, since it doesn’t actually say consecutive, that, I don’t know, maybe we do it again in ’28. Are you guys down for that? Trump ’28? Come on, man!”
Trump 2028! shouts Steve Bannon.

However, according to constitutional experts, such a scenario is not possible. The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limits an individual to two elected terms as president, stating, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Since Trump would have already served two terms (2016-2020 and 2024-2028), he would be constitutionally ineligible to run for a third. This restriction applies regardless of whether the terms are consecutive or non-consecutive.
