Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term

The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws

President Donald Trump on Thursday again raised the prospect of serving for an unconstitutional third term, asking a crowd at a White House event whether he should run again and receiving audience chants of “Four more years!”

The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws — all while his administration has continued pushing the bounds of presidential power.

CPAC relishes in Trump’s power amid push for unconstitutional third term

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland - - Attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference celebrated President Donald Trump‘s whirlwind return to power, with some mulling a plan to keep the Republican in the White House beyond a second term. (...)

Kill the maga red hat Nazi party.

How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it "to own the libs".

Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

Let me speak from experience that there is no such thing as an ironic Nazi. Every single "bro, it's just a joke lol" is followed by a silent "...unless?"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

It's a joke until it's not. Same people that hurt your feelings and then say "I was just joking" when called out.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

These people only tell jokes that are of the "punching down" variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it's always "bro, it was a prank" to dodge ownership of it.

That's how the party of personal responsibility works.

Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028? The methods to do that are either a constitutional amendment (they don't have anywhere near a big enough majority to get one through) or unconstitutional means (scary, but also way more work/trouble than running a competent candidate and winning a normal election). It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.

The Venn Diagram between people who actually support this and people who just want to own the libs is a circle.
