Trump allies float extreme ideas, including Trump third term, at gala

Radical suggestions come from Steve Bannon and indicate most polarizing proposals will be up for consideration

Donald Trump's allies have become increasingly emboldened to float their most audacious ideas as Trump prepares to return to office, suggesting he run for an unconstitutional third term in 2028 and accusing the news media of having engaged in a criminal conspiracy with prosecutors against him.

Those suggestions, by Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon, came at a self-congratulatory gala dinner for conservatives in New York on Sunday. At times the remarks seemed like the product of the euphoria that permeated the audience.
