The podcast host spoke with The Economist in a wide-ranging interview released Thursday.

When asked directly about the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits any U.S. citizen from serving more than two terms as president, [Steve] Bannon pointed to how there are “many different alternatives” for Trump to stay in office, but did not provide specifics.

    This feels like the sort of intentional ambiguity someone like Bannon would do to test float an idea. If people freak out he’ll just point to the technical truth and if they don’t he’s taken a step to normalizing the dictatorship.

      Idk, they make it abundantly clear in that interview that they are angling for a third term and skirting the 22nd amendment. He can blabber all he wants about technicalities but at the end of the day he explicitly states he’ll have another term, shit he even said two if that’s what they need to “finish what they started.”

      Just think about a 90 year old Donnie rolling around the oval office in a mech suit or something with his head in a glass jar Futurama style. We’re gonna be so great…

        Trump will be POTUS forever. The face generated by artificial intelligence as the spokesperson chosen to represent the interests of the oligarchs who actually rule, before the general public.
