I feel the same way Tech. The best thing trump can do for this country is die.
Amendment 25. I want him to go out in total disgrace. He's earned it.

I don't want anything that can be twisted into some sort of perverted martyrdom.
 
Trump tends to raise this when he is looking for a distraction, but he does keep raising it and has been doing other insane stuff supporters assured us was bluster or humor or a negotiating tactic a lot so far in his second term …



“… [Trump said] in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

“I’m focused on the current,” Trump added, in some of his most extensive comments to date about serving a third term.

Strange how the trump ciphers consistently get it the opposite of correct.

He won’t try to abolish healthcare. Well, that was just once.

He won’t facilitate and whitewash ethic cleansing in Gaza. Nah, nah, nah, that’s not happen … ing.

He’ll hire the best people. Susie Wiles, man, she’s got it locked down 😬

Tariffs are just bluster! Accounts are uuu …hmmm.

He doesn’t endorse Project 2025! Right?

He’s a businessman who understands how to manage debt. Pfffft, those trillions in tax cuts to billionaires tric.kle.down. It pays for itself!

Stop being hysterical! He’s not a Nazi. Good god. Having dinner with Nick Fuentes is simply good constituency service. Oh stop bringing up Charlottesville! Hysterical!!!!

On and on and on and on.

The 22nd Amendment makes it very clear that a president is limited to just two terms, period. That's the reason it was added to the Constitution, as it was added right after FDR was elected to a record four terms (and died early in his fourth term). Trump can talk about "methods for doing so" but the only legal and constitutional way for him to do it would be to get the 22nd Amendment repealed, which isn't happening, as among other things it would require the approval of three-quarters (38) of the 50 state legislatures, and given the number of blue states that ain't happening.

Of course if Trump has his way the Constitution and rule of law won't matter anymore (except his law) and the 22nd would likely be ignored, just as he's starting to ignore the rulings of federal judges. So there is that comforting thought.
 
While I do not know for certain, I am reasonably sure that trump is surrounded by sycophants and yes-men 24/7.
The primary function of these people is to inflate trump's ego by telling him what a rational outsider would interpret as outlandish concepts favorable to trump. A third trump term is an example of this. trump being an imbecile and wildly egotistical convinces himself it's perfectly possible that he befits exceptional treatment unavailable to anyone else.

When Republicans talk about a tax-cut to billionaires that "pays for itself," they are including political donations to the GOP in the equation.
 
I assume the way St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago thinks he can get around the 22nd Amendment is through a strained interpretation of the word "elected." As in 2028, JD Vance is the Presidential candidate and St. Donald is the VP candidate. This arrangement would be with the understanding that immediately upon inauguration, JD will resign the office of President and St. Donald will assume the Presidency for a 3rd time. I suspect that JD will be told: (a) you're young and (b) 2032 is your year. But JD will be shuted aside in 2028 for a VP "elected" by Congress of someone who Vlad "the Ras" Putin thinks is even more pliable and subservient and on whom there is even more Kompromate than either St. Donald or JD. Lindsay Graham?
 
I think SmilingJack is right and Trump's henchmen just ginned up this controversy as a diversion to keep the press occupied while they actually subvert the Constitution in other, more nefarious ways. They knew this was the sort of shit Trump loves and he would be a willing troll for this sham.
