BANNON SUGGESTED THE 25TH AMENDMENT FOR TRUMP - Decoding The Rhetoric



On December 31, 2018, Steve Bannon sent Jeffrey Epstein a text message about Donald Trump. Epstein wrote, “He is really borderline.” Bannon responded: “I think it’s beyond borderline — 25 amendment.”

That’s not speculation. That’s not spin. That’s a direct quote from the DOJ-released Epstein files.

The man who built his entire brand on loyalty to Trump.
The host of War Room.
The MAGA strategist who went to prison rather than cooperate with Congress.

Privately told a convicted sex offender that the President of the United States should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.

And now MAGA is turning on him.

Michael Flynn says Bannon should be “brought in for questioning.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene says there is “no excuse” for his friendly relationship with Epstein.
Even Elon Musk called Bannon “evil.”

This isn’t Democrats attacking Bannon. This is a MAGA fracture happening in real time.

The files reveal:
• Over 1,700 mentions of Bannon in Epstein correspondence
• 15 hours of recorded interviews between Bannon and Epstein
• Texts where Bannon advises Epstein on how to “crush the pedo/trafficking narrative”
• And the devastating message: “beyond borderline — 25 amendment”

For years, Bannon told his audience Trump was a genius. A patriot. The future of the movement.

But in private, to Jeffrey Epstein, he said Trump should be removed from office.

That’s the betrayal.
That’s why the civil war just erupted.
And that’s why this story matters. - 02/16/2026.
