Bannon’s Prison Warning for Trump
In a startling prediction on his “War Room” podcast, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon claimed President Trump faces imprisonment if Republicans don’t maintain power through 2028. The stark warning comes as Democrats continue their relentless legal pursuit of the president despite his historic return to the White House.
“God forbid we don’t win in 2028 President Trump is going to prison just like Bolsonaro in Brazil,” Bannon declared, drawing parallels between Trump and Brazil’s former conservative leader. His comments highlight the ongoing political warfare targeting President Trump despite his overwhelming mandate from American voters.

The Legal Battlefield Continues
Bannon emphasized that Trump supporters must remain vigilant despite recent victories at the ballot box. The political strategist warned that Democrats are “pulling all stops out to stop President Trump” and could attempt a third impeachment if they regain control of the House in 2026.
“People are sitting around still with the glow of November 4 and all the inauguration and all the balls, we’re at war,” Bannon cautioned during an appearance on Real America’s Voice. The stark warning comes as Trump continues to face unprecedented legal challenges despite winning the presidency.
Trump made history as the first former U.S. President to be convicted of felonies when a New York jury found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The President received an unconditional discharge in that case, and federal cases against him were dropped following his 2024 election victory.
Bannon Backs Trump 2028 Campaign
Despite the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit, Bannon enthusiastically supports Trump running for an unprecedented third term in 2028. The former White House strategist recently finished second in a CPAC straw poll for 2028 GOP contenders, showing his continued influence within the MAGA movement.
“I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” Bannon said in a recent interview. His unwavering loyalty stems from his belief that Trump is a once-in-a-century leader whose work transforming America must continue.
When questioned about term limits, Bannon suggested there might be “alternatives” to the current definition, referencing Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four-term presidency before the 22nd Amendment was ratified. The 2026 midterm elections will be crucial in determining whether Republicans can maintain momentum heading into 2028.
