No one dares to say this as part of this conversation, but will he even be alive by 2028? He’s clearly unwell in every health measure.

He is not going to RUN. He is going to not leave office.

He’s been saying this out loud since the last campaign. He has no plan to leave office.

At this point, Trump’s presidency is like a bad TV show that refuses to get canceled. Season 3: The Third Term Conspiracy.

Section 1 of the 22nd amendment: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
The constitution is clear: no president can serve for a third term.
Classic republican deciding not to follow the rules and not understanding what no means.

It’s just fear mongering.
He’s just joking.
He’s earned it.
He deserves it.
What’s the big deal?
Those are just some of the responses from MAGA that you will hear. Soon, you will hear:
That’s just his dementia talking. He’s perfectly healthy.

His interview with Mamdani was great too.

Not to mention the other hundreds of things that would be immediately cancelled and the amount of litigation as a result of unconstitutional ICE and other raids. They’re showing they want all the power and they are determined to not let go. The law means absolute dick anymore.

Like it or not, 2026 could be like this:
1) Use of the Insurrection Act;
2) Martial law (for those who don’t know, it doesn’t require congressional approval);
3) Militarization of conservative and dissident Republican states;
4) Suspicious deaths among politicians and judges (heart attacks, car accidents, home invasions, etc.), especially in those states where the governor can appoint a temporary replacement;
5) Electoral corruption;
6) Permanent takeover of the Supreme Court, the House of Representatives, and the Senate (see point 4);
7) Constitutional amendments.

No state has to put him on the ballot.

This needs to stop getting headlines since it is basically propoganda to normalize it, to numb us to it. Any coverage should lead with “Unconstitutional”! and keep pressing it, not, “Oh , he is gonna run in 2028, he is going to get a third term”.
No, just NO!

A third term would be a disaster for democracy. We can’t let Trump get away with this

Good to know, we knew this in 2024 and yet here we are. He literally told everyone what he had planned.

I mean, the “tell” is that he’s been talking about being President *forever* since at least 2016. He’s not picturing ever leaving the Presidency. Hell, part of him probably doesn’t even believe that he can die, he might figure that’s something *regular people* do.

Was the tell when he told us?

I really hate that journalists (or lackeys) who ask this question. I was astonished in 2020 when he kept getting asked, “If you lose, will you respect the results?” Seriously, WTF? Was any President asked that before?
It seemed to feed itself and legitimize the question.
