Trump's Third Term

Trump to House Republicans at his Doral club: "I've raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can't use for myself, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I think I'm not allowed to run again. I'm not sure."

That's us watching his mind live as it hatches another scam. He can see a gap he can appeal against for decades,
 
All it would take is for Chief Justice Roberts to say that "more than twice" in the 22nd Amendment means "more than twice in a row," and get a 6-3 rubber stamp approval for it.

All seriousness aside, that probably won't happen. And the proposed amendment would still need three-fourths of the states to ratify it. Even if that were politically possible, it takes years. With any luck, Mother Nature will remove Trump from the running before it can help him.

True, but they might let him run while they decide the matter.

The court has actually ruled against Trump in the past. I got a feeling, since they are strict constructioinists, twisitng the 22nd Amendment would be a bridge they are not willing to cross.

At which time we would be close to open collapse as a nation.

Pretend he is a normal leader, and treat him like that?
In Denmark there is a tradition of treating US presidents as our liege lords: rolling out the biggest red carpet imaginable, huge crowds gathering to get a glimpse of the emperor, etc.

Obviously, Trump should be treated in the same manner, and I don’t think he’ll mind :)
Actually, Trump is not very popular here, so the huge crowds might be gathering more for his notoriety, but then, I don’t think Trump would sense the difference.

Why is he so popular in Denmark? Just curious.

That’s it: even the people I know with mortal fear of immigrants do not like Trump. Of course there will be a few idiots who’ll support him, just like there are a few Ayn Rand types who want to do away with the social state where everybody are covered by the health system, but in general, all across the board are in shock that Americans have given Trump another chance to wreck, not just his own country, but every other country as well (except dictatorships).

It is also a shock for everybody that he has targeted Denmark particularly for a spectacular act of enlarging the territory of the U.S.
 
Here's someone who thinks a third term is NOT impossible:


'Liberal nightmares and MAGA dreams': Why Americans shouldn’t dismiss idea of third Trump term
Opinion by Maya Boddie

"The Constitution imposes an explicit two-term limit on the presidency — even if those two terms, like Trump’s, are non-consecutive," Romoser writes. "'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,' the 22nd Amendment mandates."

However, "Around the globe, when rulers consolidate power through a cult of personality, they do not tend to surrender it willingly, even in the face of constitutional limits," the legal expert submits.

He shouldn't even have had a chance at a second term, but due to a lack of insight, the founders never conceived of a corrupt, criminal narcissist like Donnie Diapers. Or a corrupt congress that would destroy a country to enable him.

Except he doesn't.

He likes his job title and he likes play acting President but he has no interest in actually buckling down and properly performing the role of President.

I've had a few managers like that. Of course none of them were allowed to start wars or expected to prevent them.

Just like Boris Johnson's approach to being PM of the UK.

Trump makes Johnson look like a model of probity, dedication and gravitas by comparison, not a very good model, more like a 5 year old's Lego model, but a model none the less. At least Johnson never did the "Giraffe Wanking Dance".
