Remember all of the times they said Trump “was being sarcastic” and “just kidding”?
> Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great.” Trump added, “I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”

When the GOP first broached this theory, they had a plan for Obama. One of the GOP, I can’t remember which, was making the law to only apply to nonconsecutive 1st and 2nd terms.

No, I liked Obama as president but I don’t want him to be president again because I still think we need to stick to the two-term limit. We need somebody new and somebody that’s going to actually represent the people of the country.

You guys want to pretend Obama would be legally cleared and then still have the same support. I’m thinking no on both.

The play will be to get Trump to run for a third term in the hope of Obama running against him. Then Trump drops out and (probably) Vance campaigns against Obama on the basis that it’s illegal. Dems either panic and withdraw Obama leaving a relative unknown or polarising figure or, persist and he gets un-Presidented in the Supreme Court or Johnson (if still Speaker) doesn’t recognise the EC votes for Obama.

Bill Clinton 2028!
He’s still younger than Trump…

He’s not going to survive to the end of his term.
If he did that, he wouldn’t risk an election he could lose.
Obama was also shit.

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. By the time 2028 rolls around ICE is going to be an American Gestapo. Having these motherfuckers patrol around polling places in Democratic cities is going to dampen turnout quite a lot. They’ll beat a few people up, they’ll arrest a few people who are standing in line, and it will push turnout way down.
And that’s it. That’s all you have to do to steal an election in the US. If Trump runs for a third term he is definitely going to win, because if he runs for a third term he is doing it because he cannot afford to be out of office. If the Supreme Court lets him run for a third term he will use ICE and DHS and DOJ to control who votes, he will win, he will never leave office, and he will die in office. Whenever that happens.

GWB third term incoming

Unfortunately I don’t think Obama would do that. He actually respects the Constitution and wouldn’t break it for a political stunt.

For fucks sake, can we put this meme to bed? What makes anyone think that once he violates the constitution and all political norms to run for a third term, he won’t also throw anyone who runs against him into prison?

My thoughts exactly! First thing I thought when the turd said he was thinking of a 3rd term. The dick… he’ll probably try to have President Obama tried and jailed for some ‘trumped’ up charges… let’s keep our fingers crossed and pray

That’s funny, people still think there are going to be elections in 2028

You can bet your ass that 1) the change will be crafted in such a way to include Trump and exclude Obama, and 2) the bullshit judges will be okay with it because reasons

I don’t want more of Obama’s do-nothing centrism.

It’s intentionally written to cater to specifically to Trump. A president can only run for a third term if the first and second are **not** consecutive.

Obama / Newsom 2028!
*they would make entertaining debates*

Michelle would never let him run again

In January republicans tried proposing an amendment stating
*No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms*
So if that passed, it would allow Trump to run for president again but not Obama

When you can fix elections, it doesn’t matter who you’re running against

I’m legit convinced this is the only reason they aren’t trying.
