Steve Bannon has predicted Donald Trump "is going to prison" unless "we" win the 2028 presidential election.

Trump's former White House chief strategist made the remarks on Thursday during an appearance on his War Room podcast.

What to know
Speaking on his War Room podcast, Bannon said: "God forbid we don't win in 2028 President Trump is going to prison just like Bolsonaro in Brazil."

Bannon also predicted Trump will face a third impeachment attempt if Republicans lose control of the House at the 2028 midterm elections. Trump has already been acquitted in two impeachment trials, one for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in 2019 and another for incitement of insurrection following the Capitol Hill riot of January 6, 2021.

Trump was awaiting sentencing after being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024 when he won his second presidential election victory in November 2024.

The president has also been charged over claims he mishandled classified documents and broke the law whilst trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election result both nationwide and in the state of Georgia specifically. He has denied wrongdoing in all three cases.

7. BWAAAAHAHAHA!!!

First real laugh in a long while. Thanks, sop, for keeping it real!

[republianmushroom]

15. Agree

50 months and counting

[Marthe48]

2. He won't

He'll die and be lauded in a carefully staged recap of a life wasted by crime, with no punishment.

[jalan48]

3. Trump's not going to prison. Ever.

[Lokee11]

4. Not going to hold my breathe but

Please Please Please Please Please Please Please!

✊FDT!

16. Thoughts and prays every night. Someday !

[C_U_L8R]

5. I know exactly where Donald Trump can go.

But that's another thread

[dalton99a]

6. Bullshit to motivate the cult

[ScratchCat]

8. Yes, Bannon is correct

The espionage charges will be re-instated and he will be convicted.

Bannon is also right about impeachment. Democrats win House in 2026, he is impeached multiple times again.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Nah, he's got immunity in office.

Won’t likely survive before jail.

[republianmushroom]

17. Correct, with our crooked supreme court, and DOJ, no jail time

50 months and counting

[Emile]

10. In this country you are innocent until proven broke.

[2naSalit]

11. Dead or in prison...

Probably sooner than 2028.

[Aristus]

20. Please make it happen, whatever is out there.

I've been waiting for that diseased sack of shit to drop dead since 2015. No luck. I've pretty much given up hope at this point.

Why, of all the people in history, was this slimy, festering fuckwit granted evident immortality?

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yup, I'll be surprised if he makes it to 2028.

That scumbag has been deteriorating rapidly. I'm not convinced he's even going to make it to the mid-term before he keels over. Or, some pissed off, betrayed MAGAt offs him. Or, the Commander in Chief gets fragged.

[allegorical oracle]

12. Is he suggesting djt will run again in 2028? Or somebody like Vance, Gaetz or Hegseth?

[keep_left]

19. Trump's ag sec Brooke Rollins suggested that yesterday...

...except in her case, she implied that he's already serving his third term ( the second term having been "stolen" ).

“President Trump, in the last few years as he was making his case to be reelected for the third time for the 47th presidency, talked about really lots of different issues, but his top two were border security and the cost of groceries and food inflation,” Rollins said to host Stuart Varney.

Rollins (and all the MAGA chuds) really need to brush up on their civics, particularly when it comes to the 22nd Amendment.

13. Steve Bannon's nightmare is everybody else's wet dream.

[republianmushroom]

18. You nailed it.

[republianmushroom]

14. Now that would be happy days.

[Initech]

21. Good! These two assholes can share a cell together!

[intheflow]

22. When you know the people you support are monsters...

[EndlessWire]

23. They're already working on 2028

What are Dems doing? Waiting until 2026 while watching a handful of angry elected Dems protest. There is no hue and cry while this fascist, juvenile dictator destroys us.

We want to win. We want musk and trump gone from the country. We have a problem with the voting system. They are going to once again play footsie with it, as they can't win straight up in a fair fight. I don't think there will be enough trump fans left in 2026 for them to declare the border problem is Biden's fault, Ukraine is Biden's fault, etc. MAGA will be woke as they look for work, food from failed farmers, and watch their children die from being unvaccinated. We will be lucky to not be at war with NATO over Greenland.

Every day, a fresh horror. In 2026, the mandate will be, GTFO of my country! So, I don't know what we are waiting for. Will we be able to vote in 2026? My guess is that the appearance of voting will be preserved, a la Russia, but we will never know the truth of it. Still, we must turn out and try.
