In other words he's seeking a 3rd term, constitution pending or not.

He won't seek a 3rd term, he will simply extend term 2 into infinity

[–] [email protected] 114 points 1 month ago (3 children)

He's so full of shit, when he sneezes he leaves a skid mark.

Exhibit A: https://www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-shirt/?attribute_pa_size=small&attribute_pa_color=red

He's absolutely going to try it, and it's up to all of us to nope this shit until the next millennia.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

He's gonna try to cling in to this one indefinitely.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's so full of shit, it's coming out of his mouth.

Lol idk why buy this reminded me of the Shorsie episode when he has too many concussions that he has to stop playing because when has to shit if he tries to push he blacks out🤣

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that what he said? Then he is definitely seeking a 3rd term.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (3 children)

He doesn’t consider it a third term because the second one never ends

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I’m not running for a third term, I’ll just have a third term.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I know that’s how it will go down. I was just making the point that, if he says he’s not doing something, then he is absolutely 100% doing it. Whether it’s a third term, or a never-ending second, he doesn’t intend to go anywhere. No matter what drools out of his mouth.

I was under the impression that he said Americans would never have to vote again. Does that mean there is no 3rd term, just a really long second?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If the result has already been decided, voting becomes purely ceremonial.

Why is this headline stating it like it’s fucking normal for this to be even coming up?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

You know who also said that? Putin.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

The guy who lies all the time says something? Probably lying.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He's already decided to do it. There is nothing to consider.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

He's not going to run. Did you see him dancing around and leaving early during the last six months of the 2024 election? He doesn't need to run and no one needs to vote.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Lying addled PoS is absolutely going to run a third time.

Or he's saying he won't run because there will BE NO MORE ELECTIONS.

Thank fuck this nasty old shit stain is as old as he is. We gonna celebrate like it's 1999 when the day comes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 weeks ago

I know better than to believe his lies.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, doesn't consider it because he decided already.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

He's not considering because there will be no election.

[–] Lucidlethargy 17 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (4 children)

He's going to be dead. He's so fucking old and unhealthy, guys. He's going to be eating a hamburger tomorrow and his heart is just going to give the fuck up on his hateful ass.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Every damn day. I wake up every damn day and check the news. Someday.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I will throw a party when this happens.

There is only one response to anyone and everyone that brings this up:

OBAMA 2028 !!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Donald J Trump will not be running for a third term.

Donald J Trump Jr. will be running for his first term.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Preposterous!! Whoever heard of a president's son being elected president?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (3 children)

In the mosh pit, if someone crosses a line, say they shove a small kid down or grab a girl by her breasts or throw a Nazi salute, the pit reacts.

“Get him!” someone will shout.

Then the offender gets stomped the fuck out.

If you can’t play nice the strongest members of the pit take you out.

Not sure why I’m thinking about pit protocols now.

Just waiting for someone to shout “get him” I guess.

EVERY person who wants to run for president says they don't want to run for president.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (5 children)

He promised no elections if he won this term

I believe him when he says he doesn’t want to “run”

Hard to run 6’ down

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

He’ll try to do it if he can. Why wouldn’t he?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

Why would he have to run again?

Once he declares himself King

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

And why would anyone believe a word this turd says?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I heard he’s been approached for a new job - starts next week.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Trump is more Poop than Pope

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

He'll start a war that will force him to stay indefinitely. In the same way that Ukraine is postponing elections.

They are stuck with a good leader though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Imagine the majority of the constituents that only read the headlines and move on; it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, It's economizing on it, and it's a disservice for this to be the headline.

Especially since he's done entire interviews saying precisely the opposite.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

He isn't considering it. He's already made the decision

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He wants to hand it off. Hell step down and give it to Vance. Seriously. That's his play if he's not the guy

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Whatever gets him through the moment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He's not running because they're going to run a puppet actor in his place. Once the new deep state actors rig the elections in battleground states, they can bait and switch him in. Scotus will allow it as a "creative interpretation" of the constitution. Everyone is fucked here.

We already know he lies, so the only reason to share what he says is if you want him to remain influential.

For those that didn’t read the article, he was asked about his previous statements that he wanted to run for a third term. His response was meant to convey he was “trolling the fake news media.”

"I'll be an eight-year president, I'll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important," Trump told NBC's Meet the Press with Kristen Welker in an interview that aired on Sunday.

Whether you believe those to be his intentions or not, it seems kind of important to understand he was responding to a question about earlier statements.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He said he did not hit that woman! He did naaaaawt. Oh, hey Mark!
