Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, raised concerns about Trump’s safety in a recent interview. According to Bannon, there are “dark forces” at work that could pose a threat to not only Trump’s White House bid but also his personal safety. Bannon emphasized the need for heightened security for Trump, warning that “dark forces” have made a decision to prevent Trump from returning to the White House.

Bannon’s concerns about Trump’s safety were not supported by specific evidence about any imminent danger to Trump’s life, but they highlighted a recurring theme in conservative circles. Other high-profile conservatives, including former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino and Fox News host Tucker Carlson, have also expressed fears about potential harm to Trump. Bongino, who has experience protecting both Democrats and Republicans, claimed that Trump is “in real danger,” while Carlson suggested that the country is “speeding toward assassination.”
The message from Bannon and other conservatives paints a picture of a president under siege, facing external threats as he seeks a return to power. The warnings are intended to stoke fears and rally support for Trump and his cause, emphasizing the high stakes and presenting Trump as a victim of a political vendetta. This narrative seeks to galvanize Trump’s base and reinforce the perception of Trump as a persecuted and embattled figure.
It’s important to consider the context and motivations behind these warnings. They serve a partisan agenda, seeking to mobilize support and cast Trump’s opponents as a dangerous and nefarious force. By framing Trump as a target, these conservative voices aim to bolster his image and rally his supporters, creating a sense of urgency and solidarity within the conservative movement.
