    I have thought to myself for a long time… what would happen once people started putting up Trump 2028 flags in their yards? What would happen if those houses started burning down as a result?

      I mean, at LEAST throw a handful of pocket salt on their yard each time that you walk by.

      Maybe find out their names and give generic complaints to their employers.

    He could pull a Clinton and build Melania as his successor. It wouldn’t change his politics, but would at least be a prettier sight.

      She doesn’t even want to be there for pictures, let alone actually do anything. Hillary, for all her faults, was actually a politician.

      I can’t look at her any more these days either. She reminds me of Roald Dahl’s description of people with ugly thoughts.

    Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

      The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don’t agree with either of you.

      Nah, turns out you don’t actually have to change it at all. If nobody is willing to enforce the rules laid out in the Constitution, then it’s just a worthless scrap of paper that means nothing. He can just do whatever he wants now, nothing matters.

      and ignore them because they’re incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.

        They’re not cowards.

        They’re collaborators, getting rich off it just as much as the others.

    Given his tanking popularity, he might be better off ordering the Trump 2032 hats alongside this and get a bulk discount.

    “Rewrite the rules” is a clear campaign slogan.

    This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn’t get to run again.

      As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he’s disqualified under the 14th amendment from holding his office. We’re already past that line.

      Well, running for president isn’t really running if the result is already fixed. So you have that going for you.

    Even if he isn’t going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It’s money in the bank.

      He wants to run again, but really, he wants to not need to run at all. Just dictator for life, which is probably not very long considering his age and health. Putin is his model for how “free and fair” elections should go.

      I have faith that our Constitution will weather this and also no Republican will sit in the oval office in 2028.
