Trump wants to be president for life—and he’s already preparing for it
No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.
Summary
Trump has repeatedly "joked" about seeking a third term, while making concerning moves toward authoritarian control.
He's installed loyalists at the Justice Department (Bondi), intelligence services (Gabbard), FBI (Patel), and military (Caine).
His recent military purge removed six senior officers including those who determine legal orders.
These actions give Trump personal control over legal, intelligence, and military systems—potentially enabling him to declare martial law or invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass constitutional term limits.
Until he dies, you say?
Interesting.
We decide?
He was never joking. What is it going to take for people to take him seriously?
They have to be personally affected by his actions. Good news is he's speed running this.
The bad news is even those personally affected aren't all going to suddenly call a horse a horse. A good number of them will bitch and whine about him hurting the wrong people while being blissfully unaware that if someone got caught lying, it's not the first lie but just the first one that they found out about.
His dream would become true if he dropped dead tomorrow. So would a lot of people's.
May his presidency be very short.
He’s such a disgusting disappointment. A dangerous idiot given too many powerful toys.
Here's a lot of things but not a disappointment. Everybody with two functioning brain cells knew exactly what he is and everything is turning out exactly as predicted. Anyone who is disappointed by this has been wilfully ignorant until now.
He’s a disappointment as an American President. A disappointment as a human being. didn’t vote for him. I knew what he was and is.
That would make him president for life wouldn't it?
When this is all over. One way or another. And the dust has settled. Please remember that even moderate republicans supported him.
"What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
Every now and then the founding fathers were based af...
Also, I've always heard the "tree of liberty" part, but not sure I'd seen the "It is it's natural manure." Damn.
President for life, so about 6 months?
Let him be president for life, if he agrees to have a very short life left. Then sure, it would be good news actually.
If he is "joking" about it, he obviously means it.
Waiting for an enterprising weapons manufacturer to release a new gun named the "Term Limit"
He could be president for life and still only do two mandates of 4 years, well the second mandate could even be shorter!
One strategically deployed hamberder in the next 1000 days is all it will take to ensure this outcome.
Then you need to lock Vance in a furniture showroom, and nail Johnson to an inverted cross.
Vance is the creepiest motherfucker I have ever seen. That man has no soul. Not in the sense that he's cruel. No, look into those eyes, and tell me there is a soul in that husk. Vance is a philosophical zombie. There is nobody home.
I wonder if he's narcissistic enough to still at least do the election for his third term. He'd need significantly more cheating this time around to overcome the margins he's gonna lose by with all his voters dead or faces eaten by leopards.
They might stage a pretend election just for his ego.
