Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.
Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”
“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.
Under a Liberal President, a Liberal AG, and Liberal Courts no less.
Even after '16, Democrats doggedly insisted he would be easy to beat. I think that, more than anything, is what cleared his path. Liberals simply could not believe he was popular enough to win.
Merrick Garland. That AG’s name is Merrick Garland. It should not be forgot. Merrick Garland. He sat on his ass just like Mitch McConnell thinking things would magically work themselves out without needing to do their jobs and lo and behold things did not magically work themselves out.
Because the liberals had their heads stuck in the sand because they weren’t paying attention.
Except Bernie and AOC. They knew, and nobody listened.
Hey now. I’m pretty sure they listened. That’s why they turned on The Squad in the '22 and '24 elections, spending hundreds of millions at the primary level to force them out. Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman lost their jobs in the last cycle, precisely because reactionaries in the (D) party were listening. Quite a few others were gated out of the system on similar grounds.
