In other words he’s seeking a 3rd term, constitution pending or not.

I was under the impression that he said Americans would never have to vote again. Does that mean there is no 3rd term, just a really long second?
If the result has already been decided, voting becomes purely ceremonial.
Ah, the Putin method.
He’s so full of shit, when he sneezes he leaves a skid mark.
Exhibit A: www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-shirt/?attr…
He’s absolutely going to try it, and it’s up to all of us to nope this shit until the next millennia.
He’s gonna try to cling in to this one indefinitely.
He’s so full of shit, it’s coming out of his mouth.
out of his pores actually.
He’s so full of shit, his eyes are brown.
Lol idk why buy this reminded me of the Shorsie episode when he has too many concussions that he has to stop playing because when has to shit if he tries to push he blacks out🤣
He won’t seek a 3rd term, he will simply extend term 2 into infinity
Whatever gets him through the moment.
Wasnt a Republican controlled house propose the one who propose the 22nd ammendment? So after FDR won the 3rd term?
It’s laughable now how a Republicunt President would want to go around this.
And why would anyone believe a word this turd says?
He’ll start a war that will force him to stay indefinitely. In the same way that Ukraine is postponing elections.
They are stuck with a good leader though.
Canada.
Europe isn’t gonna just let that happen.
You really think they’re going to send an invasion force across the Atlantic against the most powerful military force to ever exist to liberate Canada?
Not a chance. They’ll frown and shout and enact sanctions but there is no way Europe will mount a serious military operation like that. It simply wouldn’t be feasible.
you went from 1 to 100 pretty fast there there’s a lot of things that can be done from in the middle
You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t find comfort in Europe coming to our aid eventually when it’s convenient while my neighbours, friends, and family are detained, tortured, starved, raped, and murdered for anti-Trump sentiment.
They won’t need to. A war with Canada will be our Ukraine. It’ll make Afghanistan and Iraq look like walks in the park.
And in the meantime how many of my friends and neighbours will be tortured or murdered? I don’t want Canada to be Afghanistan.
Oh, I don’t want you to become like Afghanistan either. Nearly every insurgent is the product of a fucking tragedy.
I actually don’t know what I’d do as an American if Trump started a war with Canada.
Who started the war Ukraine is in? Im interested in your answer.
Russia
I think their point is more “Ukraine is postponing their election due to war. I think Trump will try to start a war and use similar logic as an excuse.”
Fuckin get em though. Only good tankie is a dead tankie.
You know who also said that? Putin.
He isn’t considering it. He’s already made the decision
Imagine the majority of the constituents that only read the headlines and move on; it doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong, It’s economizing on it, and it’s a disservice for this to be the headline.
Especially since he’s done entire interviews saying precisely the opposite.
Is that what he said? Then he is definitely seeking a 3rd term.
He doesn’t consider it a third term because the second one never ends
And the first didnt count because of the impeachments.
Yeah, I know that’s how it will go down. I was just making the point that, if he says he’s not doing something, then he is absolutely 100% doing it. Whether it’s a third term, or a never-ending second, he doesn’t intend to go anywhere. No matter what drools out of his mouth.
I’m not running for a third term, I’ll just have a third term.
Why is this headline stating it like it’s fucking normal for this to be even coming up?
For those that didn’t read the article, he was asked about his previous statements that he wanted to run for a third term. His response was meant to convey he was “trolling the fake news media.”
Whether you believe those to be his intentions or not, it seems kind of important to understand he was responding to a question about earlier statements.
He’ll try to do it if he can. Why wouldn’t he?
Donald J Trump will not be running for a third term.
Donald J Trump Jr. will be running for his first term.
Preposterous!! Whoever heard of a president's son being elected president?
He said he did not hit that woman! He did naaaaawt. Oh, hey Mark!
How’s your sex life?
The guy who lies all the time says something? Probably lying.
He wants to hand it off. Hell step down and give it to Vance. Seriously. That’s his play if he’s not the guy
Lying addled PoS is absolutely going to run a third time.
Or he’s saying he won’t run because there will BE NO MORE ELECTIONS.
Thank fuck this nasty old shit stain is as old as he is. We gonna celebrate like it’s 1999 when the day comes.
🪦🙏🏼
He’s already decided to do it. There is nothing to consider.
He’s not going to run. Did you see him dancing around and leaving early during the last six months of the 2024 election? He doesn’t need to run and no one needs to vote.
He’s going to be dead. He’s so fucking old and unhealthy, guys. He’s going to be eating a hamburger tomorrow and his heart is just going to give the fuck up on his hateful ass.
It’s pronounced… hamberder
Every damn day. I wake up every damn day and check the news. Someday.
I will throw a party when this happens.
"1 day ago“ Today’s the day!!
There is only one response to anyone and everyone that brings this up:
OBAMA 2028 !!!!!!
I know better than to believe his lies.
EVERY person who wants to run for president says they don’t want to run for president.
He promised no elections if he won this term
I believe him when he says he doesn’t want to “run”
He’s said plenty of crazy shit, no need to invent things.
It’s seemingly a valid interpretation of “You won’t have to vote anymore!”
It’s not though. He’s clearly trying to motivate non-voters to get out and vote for him, saying he’ll fix everything if they give him another term, and then they can go back to not voting.
Like I said, there’s plenty of actual insane, vile things he’s actually said. No need to make things up.
I think that’s pretty naive to believe
He’ll run. When the people reach their breaking point and come for him, he’ll run.
Why would he have to run again?
Once he declares himself King
Hard to run 6’ down
We already know he lies, so the only reason to share what he says is if you want him to remain influential.
Thanks for saying this. I saw the headline and thought something similar.
Also, there has been more than a few days’ worth of data proving that he can’t really be taken for granted for more than one and a half minutes.
Yeah, doesn’t consider it because he decided already.
He’s not considering because there will be no election.
In the mosh pit, if someone crosses a line, say they shove a small kid down or grab a girl by her breasts or throw a Nazi salute, the pit reacts.
“Get him!” someone will shout.
Then the offender gets stomped the fuck out.
If you can’t play nice the strongest members of the pit take you out.
Not sure why I’m thinking about pit protocols now.
Just waiting for someone to shout “get him” I guess.
That’s a nice thought but in my experience the strongest members of the pit throw fists regardless of what anyone else does because they want to show everyone they’re the strongest
If that happens a bunch of punks jump that one dude. In my experience.
Punk af
He’s not running because they’re going to run a puppet actor in his place. Once the new deep state actors rig the elections in battleground states, they can bait and switch him in. Scotus will allow it as a “creative interpretation” of the constitution. Everyone is fucked here.
Would it be legal if they made him speaker after jan and then had the pres and vp resign?

I heard he’s been approached for a new job - starts next week.
Trump is more Poop than Pope
Sic semper tyrannis
There’s all sorts of other crazy options to consider like simply “stretching” this term out for a while. Any emergency will do.
Wait till he change his diapper, and the shitshow will continu stronger and wilder.

In 2018, while serving his 4th presidential term, Putin publicly declared that he wasn’t going to run for the 3rd term (he forgot to count the first two, stuff like that happens, you know). He is now serving his 5th term.
His 2nd term would just run over… Martial law would suspend elections and he wouldn’t need to “run” again.
This is what I expect. Taps side of head don’t need a third term if the second one just keeps going.
