We know he is not joking.

The strategy is really simple, and I don't know why it isn't obvious to everyone. The Republican party will simply refuse to run a candidate in 2028. They will claim that the country is under hostile occupation by Marxists who are attempting to destroy the United States from within and Trump will just refuse to leave office after the mid-terms (if we even make it that far before he declares war & martial law).

They don't need to cancel, manipulate, or legally challenge anything. At that point, it doesn't fucking matter what happens with the election because there is no legal mechanism to enforce the removal of the regime. They are going to dare the courts, the police, and the military to try and forcibly remove them, which we all know will not happen. Then just rule by fiat forever.

The End.

Not surprisingly, the constitutionalists and “Biden is too old” ~~crowd~~ Republicans are silent.

This man needs to stroke out and die. The fact he’s not already in prison is sickening

He doesn’t lie about what he wants to do.

He lies about his accomplishments.

It’s been like this since his first term. He’s not lying about invading Greenland or punishing Canada into being the 51st state. He absolutely wants to. Assuming (hopefully) that both these endeavors never materialize, he will claim that these threats accomplished some other goal that was made up on the spot. Which will be a lie.

We know he's not joking. The question is whether the military, sworn to uphold the Constitution, will do anything about it when the time comes.

Then have Obama run against him.

We know, he said so before the election. You’d have to be a fucking gigantic moron of an idiot to not understand that. And still Americans voted for him.

why are people even surprised about this.

he says things that are in his brain. period.
He is not joking, or scheming, or planing, or 5d-chessing.

he says something. people laugh or groan, thinking its a (bad) joke. It's not. it's in his brain, so he says it. If he remembers it later, he will do it or at least try.

Why be surprised?

I think his age and poor health will come into play before the end of 2026 if not before the end of this year. Once he kicks the bucket, the clown committee will not be able to keep it together. That's my prediction.

Added to that: the dems will make no meaningful move to capitalize on the moment of advantage when bad orange man is dead and republicans fall into disarray.

Edit: am i just wishful thinking? Maybe, but you guys and your cold water can't extinguish my hope.

If I'm wrong, then the only alternative is to shut down this idiot circus by other means. We must resist with everything we have, and never let go of our revolutionary optimism.

I would honestly be surprised if he survives his current term.

He doesn't care about court orders or rule of law. It is possible for him to try it. It is amazing he can say stuff like openly, no pushback from his base. He is pushing people to their limits something will have to give.

but "it is far too early to think about it."

Far too early yet. Didn't he promise his voters that this would be the last time they'd have to vote?

until it's actually time for the next election, all of the third term bullshit is functionally serving only to distract from signalgate and dismantling the courts/gov etc. do not lose focus. (edit: typo fix)

Yeah. The method involves suspending the constitution.

He needs to be driven out of office, like now.

The only thing keeping most people quiet is the idea that Trump is temporary. This will not bode well for stability.

He's proven that he does not care about court orders or rules of law, so I doubt he'd be against ripping up the constitution. Not an American so forgive me if I seem ignorant on this, but I hope that there's failsafes against him getting a third term no matter what he does.

We are not gonna have elections anymore huh

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,”

"There are, there are methods by which you could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it scott free, as you know." In fact I don't know.

Trump running for a third term is basically the plot of Civil War (2024).

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,”

Those methods are:

Serving as VP, followed by ascension - The 12th Amendment says no one ineligible to be president can be VP, but the 22nd Amendment only bars election to a third term, not holding office. Trump could potentially be Vance's (or someone else's) VP, then that President resigns, making Trump president for a third term without being elected. This is legally untested and would be widely challenged. It doesn't seem like a route Trump would take.

Repealing the 22nd Amendment - This requires the proposal and ratification of a new amendment. This new amendment must be passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, followed by ratification from three-fourths of the states. This is an unlikely path for Trump to take. Even with massive cheating, he would never get the numbers in his favor.

Ignoring the 22nd Amendment - AKA the "what the fuck you gonna do" method, which the Trump regime has employed with great success in lots of other areas. This is almost certainly what he means.

Any other method to remain president, such as declaring martial law, declaring a national emergency, using the Insurrection Act, etc, would basically be a military coup that would spark a civil war and Balkanize the US.
