'MAGA Godfather' Steve Bannon shoots down 'bulls***' presidential rumors amid fight for third Trump term
The MAGA diehard has vehemently denied the rumors as 'bulls***', while saying he is focused on supporting a third run for President Donald Trump instead.
Trump's former top advisor Steve Bannon has shot down rumors that he has been quietly plotting a 2028 presidential bid as complete 'bulls***'.
Axios reported that Bannon, 72, told allies that he wants to run for White House in the next election, supporting an 'America First' agenda aiming to unite Republicans.
The outlet claimed that Bannon's alleged campaign would champion a non-interventionist foreign policy, economic populism and opposition to 'Big Tech'.
However, the MAGA diehard has vehemently denied the rumors as 'bulls***', while saying he is focused on supporting a third run for President Donald Trump instead - even though this would break with the US Constitution.
'We don't have a country if we don't get every ounce of fight and energy from President Trump,' Bannon told Axios this weekend.
'You can drive a Mack Truck through the 22nd Amendment - and that's exactly what I intend to do in order to save our country.'
The former White House chief strategist added that he's even giving expert insight for an upcoming book on how Trump could run again.
Titled 'Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term?', the book by lawyer Alan Dershowitz aims to provide a legal argument for how Trump could serve a third term within the limits of the US Constitution.

The Daily Mail has contacted Bannon and the White House for comment.
It comes after both Trump and Bannon were pictured appearing close with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the latest release of the Epstein files by Congress.
