The president and his allies have repeatedly flirted with the possibility of Trump running for a third term, even though the Constitution forbids it.

    Does everyone remember during Trump’s first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said “maybe we should try that” and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he’ll get. Now there’s a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

    “Rewrite the rules” is a clear campaign slogan.

    This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn’t get to run again.

      He wants to run again, but really, he wants to not need to run at all. Just dictator for life, which is probably not very long considering his age and health. Putin is his model for how “free and fair” elections should go.

      I have faith that our Constitution will weather this and also no Republican will sit in the oval office in 2028.

    I can’t think of a comment to make here that won’t get me investigated by this Secret Service

    I have thought to myself for a long time… what would happen once people started putting up Trump 2028 flags in their yards? What would happen if those houses started burning down as a result?

      I mean, at LEAST throw a handful of pocket salt on their yard each time that you walk by.

      Maybe find out their names and give generic complaints to their employers.

    He could pull a Clinton and build Melania as his successor. It wouldn’t change his politics, but would at least be a prettier sight.

      She doesn’t even want to be there for pictures, let alone actually do anything. Hillary, for all her faults, was actually a politician.

    Given his tanking popularity, he might be better off ordering the Trump 2032 hats alongside this and get a bulk discount.
