Yeah. This is normal🙄
So is this a good time to buy stock in hard alcohol?
I guess that means Biden can stay for two more, right?
Never trust the GOP. Here is what they had to say about FDR.

– Because: a third term opens the door to DICTATORSHIP
– Because: it violates the American safeguard against usurpation of power established by Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland.
– Because: power too long held destroys the mental balance of the holder and causes him to believe that his will alone should be the law.
– Because: it perpetuates in office hangers-on, jon-holders and henchmen of the administration whose only wish is to cling to power and importance. We do not want 4 years more of Ickes, Concoran, Hopkins and Madam Perkins.
– Because: the United States cannot live if strangled by a one-man government.
There cannot be a fourth term if there is no third term.
Vote against third term and Disctatorship or you may never go to the polls again in a free election.
Distributed by the Republican National Committee, Washington DC.
He’s not living another 8 years. He might not even make it four.
If he gets in, he’s not leaving. Plain and simple.
How very American of him.
Someone help me understand how a group proclaiming their love of the country, its constitution, and you know “freedom” are ok with this guy? That and project 2025… The convoluted arguments made male my brain hurt…
I think it’s kind of an open secret he’d hold the office till death if he could. Attempts to twist his third term banter as jokes are pretty obviously bad faith.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he just says “you know what I don’t need a third term because I’m changing the length of terms to be 10 years starting with mine.”
despite the despair for freedom, conservatives like to be controlled. A Trump dictatorship is probably welcome amongst them
I remember people freaking out at Obama in 2009. “Just watch. If he wins in 2012, he’ll start talking about a third term.”
Fucking idiots.
If tRump runs for a third term, maybe Obama should come back for his 3rd. 🤔😆 /s
He could just do everyone a real solid and leave the country. He could hang with Vlad, start dressing like Steven Segal. You know, being his authentic self.
Motherfucker needs more hamberders, the greasier the better.
So, just to clarify: Trump is claiming he currently is president, thus making 2025 his hypothetical 3rd presidency. Which is crazy, but not what folks here seem to think is being said.
Trump says enough terrifying and crazy things without misrepresentation like this. Reporting like this just makes it easier to ignore real threats as “made up”
I had to find this list from 3 1/2 years ago that I would periodically update of Trump suggesting he could serve more than the two terms. I’ll add this one to the list. Here are some other times he’s done this:
Once when he retweeted Jerry Falwell saying he should be given extra years as credit. https://www.axios.com/trump-call-to-extend-term-2-years-for-time-stolen-bcfb61a7-c521-47ed-9406-7aee46e523b1.html Another when he praised China for getting rid of term limits and saying, “maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday.” https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/3/4/17077642/trump-xi-china-fundraiser Another time, he was speaking about tax cuts at the White House and he suggested that Congress extend his term to 16 years https://www.newsweek.com/trump-president-16-years-life-884073 On 6/16/19, Trump tweeted criticism of the New York Times and Washington Post. “…at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-wonders-if-supporters-would-demand-he-stay-longer-than-two-terms_n_5d06710be4b0985c419f703a?guccounter=1 He’s tweeted a Time Magazine meme suggesting that he’ll serve “4EVA”. I’m certain he’s tweeted this at least 3 times. This doesn’t include the time he retweeted Dan Scavino on 12/8/19, who had also tweeted the meme. https://mobile.twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1144072877290872832?lang=en At a Pennsylvania rally in May 2019, he remarked about serving as many as five terms. https://www.newsweek.com/president-trump-joking-suggests-serving-5-terms-white-house-during-1431204 In a August 2019 speech to energy workers in Pennsylvania, Trump remarked about serving more than 2 terms. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-american-energy-manufacturing-monaco-pa/ In August 2019, while speaking to reporters about a New York Times article outside of the White House, he said, “Let me tell you. In six years – or maybe 10 or maybe 14, right? – in six years, when I’m not here, the New York Times goes out of business very quickly.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-2020-election-president-four-terms-14-years-a9074451.html While speaking at the Israeli-American National Summit on 12/7/19, Trump said that serving multiple terms is, “not a bad idea.” He also said, “When they all scream, ‘4 more years, 4 more years,’ I always say make it 12 years and you’ll drive them crazy. 12 more years.” https://www.newsweek.com/trump-jokes-he-wont-leave-presidency-after-8-years-its-not-bad-idea-1476178 While speaking in Oshkosh, WI on 8/17/20, he said, “We are going to win four more years. And then after that, we’ll go for another four years because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years.” https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trump-says-ll-seek-third-000717298.html While speaking at a campaign event in Nevada on 9/12/20, he said, “We’re gonna win four more years in the White House. And then after that, we’ll negotiate, right? Because probably, based on the way we were treated, we’re probably entitled to another four after that.” https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-negotiate-third-term-in-office-2020-9 Edit: the 7th link, the WH.gov link, as well as the 10th link from Yahoo, is no longer available. I’ll find other sources for these at a later time.
Is it too late for Biden to concede the 2020 election? He should just admit Trump won and that he was the rightful president the past 4 years, and so technically he’s already had his 2 terms and is no longer eligible for 2024.
Well that shows how fucking stupid he is and how, when he took an oath to defend the constitution, how full of orange shit he is.
So for those who intend to vote for him, you not only are OK with rape and fraud, you’re also OK with shitting on the constitution.
So he wants to change the constitution in a way that benefit ONLY him!
We’ll, he says that he won in 2020, even though Biden is president, so we should just say “oh my gosh! You were right, you did win, but it’s been four years, so that’s your two terms! Sorry about your luck!”
Yes, here we go again. He floated this idea around before he lost the election.
The man is a textbook malignant narcissist in the same vein as some of the world’s worst dictators and authoritarians. It’s kinda a prerequisite for the dictator “dear leader” types that the 🍊 wishes to emulate.
He also has a rapidly declining mental state, unable to speak without the teleprompters (this weeks NRA event)
Don’t be rattled, or surprised by this. Expect him to also pepper in “it’s already rigged”
Some of this is desperation and mental decline but a lot of this is his mental illness needing fuel. He’s in court, he’s got a ton of indictments the news is constantly bad. For malignant narcissist, they need fantasy to energize as they have no self regulation nor self esteem. They need exterior stimuli in order to continue on. He’s narcissistically starved. He’ll say anything to appear gracious, powerful and in control.
So this is a mix of narcissistic fantasy need, and his real desire…to be a King.
When you weren’t good with one, but you think you can handle three now…
Which is why he should not be let near the Oval Office.
Welcome to fantasy island. No fantasy land aka Trumpville. Kinda like bazaar o world only worse
Deeper we go into the GOP’s twilight zone … the same people who claim to be constitutionalists, are the same people advocating for this guy to serve beyond the two terms established by the 22nd.
This dude and his brand, and followers, are increasingly more dangerous the closer to election day we get.
This is a horrible, horrible person.
If we’re learning anything as a country, Millennial and Gen Z lawmakers will stop the infighting and start working on some new Constitutional amendments to save us from ourselves.
Or, he can be a one-term president, if he doesn’t.
Hm I wonder if there are any movies playing in theaters right now that are about something like that
Hmm almost like we said he would try if he won last time. He plans to never leave
Herpes never really goes away.
Well just go to the SC and it’s a go.
Wasn’t there just a movie about this?
Ended up with someone hiding under their desk if I recall.
Why not? He’s said every fn crazy thing imaginable contrary to our democracy and constitution, including trying to steal the election and calling for the suspension of the constitution so he could be installed as president and hiding the fact that he fucked a porn star. And he is being supported and enabled by the corrupt GOP and his deplorable (yes deplorable) brain dead base.p
Up next is him declaring himself Emperor of the Trump States of Trumplandia.
trump also suggests he is actually the president now despite having lost the election
i doubt that on several levels
what do the actuarial tables say about men in their 80s with late-stage dementia
“Sixteen years,” Trump says wistfully and incorrectly while referencing FDR. Although FDR won a fourth term, he died a year into it, serving thirteen years, not sixteen. Not that Trump knows, or cares.
Did no one see that new Civil War movie?
He’s saying this to suggest he won 2020 and this would be his “third term,” obviously he’s wrong and I hate the guy but he’s not saying here that he would run for more terms.
Or a first time felon ex-president.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how 8 years later, millions of people are still taking this corrupt criminal idiot seriously.
We about to get that civil war movie in real life
