    “Rewrite the rules” is a clear campaign slogan.

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

    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.

    Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

      Nah, turns out you don’t actually have to change it at all. If nobody is willing to enforce the rules laid out in the Constitution, then it’s just a worthless scrap of paper that means nothing. He can just do whatever he wants now, nothing matters.

        Every child knows a rule only counts if a) you’re caught breaking them and b) you’re punished for breaking them.b

      The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don’t agree with either of you.

      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 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.

    Even if he isn’t going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It’s money in the bank.

    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.

      I can’t look at her any more these days either. She reminds me of Roald Dahl’s description of people with ugly thoughts.

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