Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
He's gonna try to cling in to this one indefinitely.
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🤣
Is that what he said? Then he is definitely seeking a 3rd term.
He doesn’t consider it a third term because the second one never ends
I’m not running for a third term, I’ll just have a third term.
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?
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?
You know who also said that? Putin.
The guy who lies all the time says something? Probably lying.
He's already decided to do it. There is nothing to consider.
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.
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.
I know better than to believe his lies.
Yeah, doesn't consider it because he decided already.
He's not considering because there will be no election.
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.
Every damn day. I wake up every damn day and check the news. Someday.
It's pronounced... hamberder

There is only one response to anyone and everyone that brings this up:
OBAMA 2028 !!!!!!
Donald J Trump will not be running for a third term.
Donald J Trump Jr. will be running for his first term.
Preposterous!! Whoever heard of a president's son being elected president?
EVERY person who wants to run for president says they don't want to run for president.
He promised no elections if he won this term
I believe him when he says he doesn’t want to “run”

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.

He’ll try to do it if he can. Why wouldn’t he?
Hard to run 6’ down
And why would anyone believe a word this turd says?
Why would he have to run again?
Once he declares himself King
I heard he’s been approached for a new job - starts next week.
Trump is more Poop than Pope
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.

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.
He isn't considering it. He's already made the decision
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
We already know he lies, so the only reason to share what he says is if you want him to remain influential.

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.

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.
