Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term

to anyone here who is active duty military:

you took an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the USA. It's time to start protecting and defending the constitution.

Buy a gun.

Join or form a militia.

Conservatives don't, and never did, give a flying fuck about the Constitution.

The rest of us are going to have to.

I don't think "serve"is the right verb to use here.

When has the constitution ever stopped him before?

Stop listening to his words and report what's actually happening, news media

He's the president of the most powerful country on earth. When his words are "I'm seeking a dictatorship" they are news.
- he did literally get elected on the promise of being a dictator
Exactly. Our media is absolutely spineless.

It should be breaking news, the US has fallen to authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, etc.

They are not reporting the news accurately. But then again, the media currently serves the billionaire class.
This is one of those things were it is important to report on what he's saying tho.
Newspapers say they report fairly on all topics. Critics say otherwise.

Some people say the newspapers report everything perfectly fine. Not everyone agrees. Here's what we think.

I got a million of these.

arrest this traitor for going against the constitution

Dude looks like grim death now. They'll already have to Weekend at Bernie's him from 2026-2028.

Even if old age gets him, Vance becomes the acting president, and he's every bit as evil while not being quite as senile. I highly doubt the MAGA cult is going to die alongside Trump.
- Cults rarely survive a leader transition, especially ones based so fully around an individual rather than specific ideals. The cult will die, and the support will fracture, the underlying issues with the Republican party that allowed it will still be there.
- Trump chose the most feckless, least charismatic person ever as VP specifically so he wouldn't show him up. He's evil, all right, but no way he'll be able to inherit Trump's cult.
- IDK they seem pretty darn unable to agree on anything besides how much they all love Trump. There's no Republican politician who is anywhere close to his equal. There is no obvious successor. Seems like a strong possibility of a power vacuum when he dies.
did you look at his makeup from a recent video, he looks very sickly without it, the skin past his ears that is. thats why he made all attempts to hide sickly white skin with the orange makeup.
Naw, he's got at least another decade in him. His dad died at 93, and his mom died at 88. And that's without the health care they have today. I wouldn't be surprised if he lived into his 90s.
- only the good die young. seems the worse you are, the longer you live. this fucker will still be destabilizing the globe at 100
Worked for Reagan...

This isn't a boring dystopia thing. It's many things, but it's certainly not boring ):

The boring bit is that I'm not the least bit surprised that he said that. other aspects of this dystopian timeline are certainly less boring.
- He's been saying this for months at this point, and it was part of Project 2025, which he seems to be following like a computer runs code.

It's easy. Just refuse to leave and nobody will do shit about it except complain, as always.

“The White House has become an adult day care center” Republican Senator Bob Corker

That would take an amendment to the Constitution, which requires 2/3 of states to ratify. He has a better chance of taking it by force than by law.

Trump isn’t supposed to be able to assume office according to the constitution being an insurrectionist and all. The document doesn’t say a damn thing about total presidential immunity.

The constitution is meaningless.
- That would only apply had our court system not failed us in convicting him before the election.
~~There is an exception for wartime... Fuck~~ Nevermind. I checked and that was false.
- I’ve seen that sentiment floating around, so you’re not alone there. Good on you for verifying!
Some guy pitched it as "Vance runs with Asshole as VP, wins then resigns. Asshole is prez again." Of course this requires Vance not having ambitions of his own.
- Except he'd have to be Speaker of the House not VP. He can't be VP after this term according to the Constitution.
- "Some guy" in this case is Trump during the interview with NBC btw - that's exactly his (first) plan
I'd say don't give them any ideas, but I'm sure that force has been on the menu for a long while now.

PS: next, Trump will complain that a 2/3 majority for constitutional changes is cultural marxism or some such. I called it!

Did they ask him why? I know he's wanting it, I want to know his justification for it.

Immunity from crimes. Always has been. Although the lust for power is bigly too.
- Immunity from crimes. Always has been.
  
  Is he ready to say that quiet part out loud though? Actually nvm, he did. He just calls it "injustice"

Because of cause he would say that eventually. A boring dystopia indeed.
