Summary
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon revealed that MAGA operatives are “working on” securing Donald Trump a third presidential term in 2028, despite constitutional term limits.
In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Bannon said, “We’ll see what the definition of term limit is,” suggesting they’re exploring ways to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.
Recently released from prison after serving four months for contempt of Congress, Bannon placed second in a CPAC straw poll for 2028 GOP nominees behind JD Vance, while maintaining tensions with Trump adviser Elon Musk.
Third term?
Again with the Russian model - why not be more imaginative and declare yourself some new made-up dictator name (& just be a dictator, no terms, no red & blue, only polished golden ass), like something Borat would come up with.His supreme big handedness of the Lord, the shitter of golden diarrhea, he who licks no domestic butts, the holy eternal MAGAer, the trumpest with the mostest absolute dumptruck ass, senior car salesmen.
Musk is already occupying that position.
If Presidents can run for a third term, I want to watch Trump get destroyed by Obama, when he also runs for a third term.
Just like Biden used the SCOTUS immunity ruling to legally assassinate trump?
Democrats will not ever break precedent.
I don’t think they mean presidents (plural) could run for the third term.
There will also be a rule if one of the contestants is going for their third term it’s an automatic win & no opposing runners can join the game.
You don’t think they’re covering that contingency?
They rules they have formulated and want to pass as law are that the first two terms must not be consecutive. This would preclude Obama from having a third term.
I remember reading they want to adjust it to “two consecutive terms”. Which would invalidate Obama through their mental gymnastics
Time to really get to know our communities and our people in the military. The only justice imaginable coming from this is a coup in one form or another to oust them. Anyone in the military that is actually on board with this needs to be purged by the rank and file.
They’re putting a LOT of faith in those arteries holding up that long LMFAO
Just keep feeding him McDonald’s lol
I swear to God you can hear all the grease caked inside his body when he speaks. That wheezing, wandering, droning voice has had a few too many Big Macs.
We’ll see what the definition of term limit is
It’s right there in the 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.
Donald Trump was elected twice. He is ineligible to be elected again.
If I had to put money on it, I’d guess they contest the legitimacy of the next election, and he just refuses to step down - can only be elected twice, but he’s just there as a care taker until a proper election can happen
Or he’ll start a war and declares martial law
Martial law lets you arrest people without trial, but it doesn’t directly allow you to just not hold an election, and you can only declare it “unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it”.
I guess you could come up with some pretence then impose martial law and make it clear that anyone voting the wrong way is going to get arrested, but at that point why bother with laws at all?
Read: They still don’t have a replacement for Trump.
Of course they do, but the issue is that too much of Trump’s control over their base is from his cult of personality (somehow), not the plan itself. They don’t know how to replace that. Yet.
Nope, that is a declaration of war
Likely scenario:
They’ll first try to get two thirds of both the senate and the congress, and to a constitution overhaul in the style of Hungary. If that fails, there’s always the option for a martial-law, or just circumventing the whole of the constitution.
Maybe make him speaker of the house then have a stand in prez and vp step down?
I know a vp has to have presidential eligibility to be elected, which Trump wouldn’t have at the end of this term. But Im not aware of the same restriction on the speaker
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.
That’s the wording. It looks pretty iron clad, if you care at all about the rule of law.
The problem is that word “elected.” It doesn’t specifically exclude someone assuming the role of president through the line of succession.
Bannon placed second in a CPAC strawpoll
My first thought: That’d be great, there’s no way he’d win
My second thought: Democrats would find a way.
Democrats, the masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
My first thought: That’d be great, there’s no way he’d win
Remember, the overwhelming majority of the country thought the exact same thing about Trump in 2016.
as parent intimated: Democrats will find a way. :-(
I’ll show me!
Time to 2A up to protect yourselves America. Only a copper jacketed hollow point between freedom and tyranny.
FYI I know nothing about ammo other than what I hear in movies or TV.
Trump will be 79 in 2 months, at 83 he himself wont be around to run in 2028, but MAGA would still be there and that’s what we should be fighting. I mean sadly and similarly Bernie Sanders wouldnt be around to run in 2028, but his movement is what we should be carrying
