Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House
President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of somehow serving a third term in office.
You're viewing a single thread.
It obviously won't get close to passing but it would be incredible for Democrats if it did. He has zero margin in the House, nothing major is passing into law except tax cuts. All his executive order policies are inflationary.
So either he's crashing the economy, taking the blame for continued inflation, or getting nothing of consequence done. And he'd be 83 and asking for four more years. He'd get crushed.
We've played this game twice now. Let's not try a third game of fascism chicken
That said Obama vs trump would be a funny campaign. "My fellow Americans, look at this absolute buffoon. You want proof I'm a natural born citizen? I've been stuck here with him too."
This amendment’s wording wouldn’t allow Obama or Clinton to run again. Only Trump.
He has never won as the incumbent.
And while i think he'd struggle in that scenario I've gotten very wary of people (myself included) thinking "he can't possibly win in this scenario" because that's twice now been the prelude to defeat. Wheras in 2020 he was taken as a serious threat from the start
That was one race, and during a pandemic that probably would have lost the race for any incumbent, whether it made logical sense or not.
Frankly I kind of wish he won his second term if he had to get another term at all. His bruised ego over losing, fear of legal consequences, and time away to stew on this have made him a far more dangerous president than last time.
I miss having this level of certainty that he has no chance.
He will use Musk's money, again, to cheat, again, in my opinion.
Of course he will wreck the rather healthy US economy and break the unemployment record again, which he currently holds from his 1st term.
