When Donald Trump took the oath of office once again, it was the last time he’d be able to do so under the country’s constitution. But that hasn’t stopped his team from flirting with the idea of running again, writes Alex Hannaford – and the Democrats are nowhere to be seen...

Summary

Plans for a potential Trump third term are already being discussed, despite constitutional limitations.

Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon has suggested they’re “working on it,” while Trump himself has made several hints about running again after 2028.

Some Republicans, like Congressman Andy Ogles, have proposed amending the 22nd Amendment to allow three terms.

Constitutional law professor Michele Goodwin warns that Trump’s administration has already shown “a display of lawlessness” with controversial executive orders and policies, while critics note Democratic opposition has been largely absent, allowing these discussions to gain traction.

    Laws aren’t even suggestions anymore, Orange fuck blatantly breaks all laws and nobody even bats an eye. This shit hole country is failing at the most basic level. The overthrow of the government has already happened. It’s already over.

    Stay safe, and be careful with social media.

      Fucking hell guys we haven’t even made it to 6 months of this term. I doubt we will survive him running a third term. If we don’t rise up we aren’t going have a country in 4 years. Shit musk kids are about to break social security altogether canceling everyone from getting their checks. Just think what happens when that done. How much money are they going steal? Also they are floating selling all our gold on bitcoin. Just other way to rob us blind.

      Russia is going win the cold war after all and America will be a backwards disease filled shit hole. Speaking ot which with RKJ in charge we going watch measles and other preventable disease spread across the country like a plague. Of course sure we will also go to war with rest of the world with Trump threatening all our allies.

      America is done, what matters 2028. We got to make it through 2025 and that going be tough enough.

        HitlerPig has this obsession about the gold in Ft. Knox, speculating about what woukd happen if we opened it and it was EMPTY?

        He’s obviously scheming with his buddies Skum and Putin to steal it, and act all shocked when it goes missing.

      Was it Puerto Rico that he called a shithole country? Must have been because they have too much order and too little corruption.

        He once complained about all these immigrants coming from shithole countries, and wondering why we couldnt allow them in from nice like Sweden.

        Hey, Dickhead! Its because WE are a shithole country, just a slightly better one than some others, so they come here. Why would people want to leave a successful government like Sweden’s, with a country that ranks near the top of personal happiness to come HERE?
