"I'm not joking": Trump again floats running for anti-constitutional third term
"I'm not joking": Trump again floats running for anti-constitutional third term
"There are methods which you could do it," he reportedly told NBC News.
I believe death by an AR-15 bullet is considered dying of natural causes in America.
Hopefully Trump dies of a natural cause, tonight.
Let's just hope The Simpsons are actually predicting the future
because Lisa will become president and fix everything after trump bankrupted and robbed the place? sigh, yeah
So much for the "oh he's just joking" excuse
He's been gaslighting for over a decade now.
Remember when Obama was asked if he could run for a third, and he said he couldn't because it's not allowed. Imagine a President who respects the law, the Constitution, and the will of the people via Congress. Irony is that it was Republicans who put in place the term limits, so Trump is even against his party's previous mandate.
I also remember republicans freaking out about how Obama was going to run for a third term and declare himself king even though there was absolutely no indication that anyone thought that was a good idea. He was just popular and they couldn’t handle it.
I mean Obama did drone strike an American citizen without due process but respecting some laws is better than none.
I’m sure the magats are eating it up. When are the rest of us revolting?
When the rest of us pacifist lefties, and i am also including you the person I'm replying to, buys a gun. So far, the Republicans overwhelmingly own more guns and train more often and would wipe us all out from the comfort of their diabetic mobility scooters.
They have been, you just aren’t hearing about it because they don’t want you to hear about it. People are fucking pissed.
Yeah I know people are pissed. So I guess I’m watching for when we mount a resistance. I would be a shot leader for it, and I must admit, I’m afraid, I’m afraid of what it will mean, but still somewhat ready to join.
Right now.
Walk the walk.
I thought it was the magas who were revolting.
Oh, you mean like revolution.
Revolutioning? I guess I could have said starting the revolution.
He will probably suspend the constitution soon. He will at least make a serious effort to have the entire thing suspended due to "far left radical insurgency" or too many "illegal aliens disrupting the political process".
Idk why he's talking about a 3rd term. I don't think anyone expects him to live out this one. He is very old. 4 years of being a fascist dictator might as well be a decade off of his lifespan. There's no way he'd be physically capable of running again. Being the most vile human being alive is actually very bad for your physical health.
Why suspend it when you can just ignore it?
Look a fascism lite in Russia or Turkey -- they still pretend to have democracy and rule of law -- that's the power of pretending.
There also comes a point where they don't have to hide anymore. They're doing Nazi salutes on television. They're pardoning white supremacist neo Nazis. They're already there. Why pretend when they can just deny that such a thing exists or should exist in the first place? Fascists will love it, and that's where his core supporters are anyway.
Have you seen Mitch McConnell?
They're just going to put his name on the ballot and run it through his hand picked judges. If we just go along with it, Elon will use Star Link to clean up the votes so he wins. Then the scotus will allow because he can't get impeached and the Senate won't convict.
Only solution is Luigi.
He will run and the supreme court wont shit about it by citing some bullshit legal ambiguity. Democrats in the house will whine and then say they can't do anything about it while waving small little signs to show their indifference.
"The constitutional amendment only applies to Harry Truman"
Easy, the founding fathers didn't say anything about term limits.
Bingo
At the rate Trump's dismantling the Constitution, who really thinks there'll be elections in 2028?
Of course there will be elections. Very few dictatorship skip elections outright nowadays.
Yeah, Trump will just win with like 270% of the vote
2028? Try next year.
Huh, did not know the next PRESIDENTAL election was in 2026. /s
What does he have to do to be taken seriously? It's like a man on an active shooting spree and everyone says "he's just kidding"
HahahAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
Third term is on the table? Obama should run that'd shut them up really quick.
He's too much of a boy scout to ever do that.
What i'd do to turn back the clock to Obama's era. I have my doubts now I'll even be alive for a better president
So what’s being passed through the house that he keeps trying to distract us from? Is this to make us look away from social security while they carve it up? He always makes these stupid outrageous statements when he is trying to distract from something sinister happening elsewhere.
Yeah, somehow I'm guessing a better sniper will show up before then
Hawkeye could finally become the coolest avenger
I wonder where the republicans that take the constitution so litterally are right now? If I understand right, there's a difference between full on MAGA-cultists and actual replublicans. It's clear the democrats are worth fuck-all at this point so I'm keen to see if there are republicans with integrety. Or you know, the democrats getting their shit together.
Trump getting elected after this term will result in JD Vance becoming president, I'm almost completely sure of that.
He's already old as fuck and declining. No way he'd be mentally fit to run in 4 years, let alone finish a 3rd term.
He wasn't mentally fit this time and that didn't stop the hordes of magas lining up to vote for him. I have no doubt that they'll be fine voting for the weekend at donny's version of trump.
This time they'll hook an AI trained on his posts and the gibbering of monkeys to Twitter and nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Show him the 2024 A24 Civil War movie... TV is the only thing he understands and that'll scare him straight
I hate that A24 made a documentary of our near future.
They tried hard to focus on the moment and not "what lead to this"... but even so it was really on the nose
One of those methods betting a full blown dictator?
Ok we get it. You want us to try something. Message couldn’t be clearer.
That threat should be enough for anyone...
But he’s not a Democrat, so it’s fine
I remember some republicunts were ready to bear arms whin there were rumors that Obama wasn't going to step down after his second term. These idiots dont give a shit as long as its there guy.
trying hard to see the glass half full: it's good that he implies that there will still be elections
They'll be like Russian elections
Surprised Microsoft hasn't pushed the person who wrote that out of a window
Cool.
Your party has proven that one can avoid taxes, but I don't think you can avoid death as well.
Technically, he could run as VP with the explicit plan to have the actual president step down as soon as they're in.
But I don't know if Trump would even be down for that. He just wants to run for a third term full stop.
There is a part of the constitution that prohibits someone that has completed 2 terms as president from being vp afterwards.
My understanding is because of the way its worded that it could be generously interpreted by SCOTUS to favor Trump running as VP. I can't remember the specifics but I remember reading such.
Not on my watch. I actually meant that oath I took against all enemies, foriegn and domestic. Unlike Trump
Extra extra, 80 year old fat man thinks he is going to live 8 more years
And he's probably getting one. Unless he dies.
