2. Accoding to Bannon, it's a done deal, and tRump will be sworn in as POTUS on 1/20/2029.

ETA: Bannon even recommended we run Obama against tRump in 2028 since Obama would no longer be restricted from running for POTUS again.

3. Regardless...Trump-Aligned Think Tank AFPI Planning 100-Year MAGA Plan

Well-funded MAGA forces close to the White House are preparing a "100-year plan" to try to sustain Trumpism long after President Trump leaves office.
Why it matters:
Top executives at the America First Policy Institute tell Axios that the group is scaling up as an incubator for the America First movement beyond Jan. 20, 2029 — promising to proselytize its policies for the next century.
The big picture: The institute was launched in 2021 — by now-Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, now-Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Larry Kudlow, a Fox Business host who was a first-term Trump official — to help keep Trump's ideas in the political ether after he left office.

During the president's Mar-a-Lago exile and through his 2024 comeback bid, the institute became something of an administration in waiting, pumping out policy papers and staffing up with Trump 1.0 alums.

4. The plan was to run Vance with Trump as running mate.

Then Vance steps down from the top post and they switch places.

Somehow that's supposed to work because of how the term limit amendment is worded.

If it were even something to worry about, there is at least another SCOTUS opinion in it when they are confronted with the question of presidential succession and how it skips constitutionally disqualified persons.
