Hostin Voices Concerns Over Trump'S White House Intentions

Sunny Hostin Raises Alarm on Trump's Political Future

This Monday on ABC's daytime talk show The View, co-host Sunny Hostin made waves with her bold assertions about former President Donald Trump's future intentions. Hostin expressed her belief that Trump "most definitely" plans to cling to power beyond typical presidential limits.

The conversation kicked off with Whoopi Goldberg, another co-host, who didn't hold back her opinion. "You know who told us he was going to be a dictator on day one? And damn if he isn’t a dictator," Goldberg remarked. She pointed to Trump's former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, who recently stirred the pot with his comments suggesting a third term for Trump in a discussion with The Economist.

Bannon's Predictions and Trump's Response

Steve Bannon's prediction of a "Trump 28" presidency set off alarm bells. "Well, he’s going to get a third term. So Trump 28, Trump is going to be president in 28," Bannon stated, drawing attention to Trump's persistent influence in the political sphere. Meanwhile, during a conversation aboard Air Force One, Trump himself seemed to entertain the idea, citing his strong poll numbers, "I haven’t really thought about it... But I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had. I would love to do it," he said.

"I actually have come to the conclusion that he is most definitely going to try to remain in power, because remember that East Wing, it’s take a long time to build that. He is hooking up the White House because he doesn’t plan on leaving it." – Sunny Hostin

The 22nd Amendment and Historical Context

Hostin cited the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms, as a clear legal barrier to Trump's potential ambitions. However, she pointed out past instances where Trump defied expectations, suggesting that skeptics should reconsider. "Many people who say there’s no way he would do it... Those are the same people that said, he’s never going to have these masked men disappearing people all over the country," Hostin argued, listing various controversial moves Trump made during his presidency.

She cautioned against underestimating Trump's resolve to maintain his grip on power and emphasized the broader implications of his actions on American political norms.
