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

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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago

Hard to run 6’ down

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago

Why would he have to run again?

Once he declares himself King

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

He promised no elections if he won this term

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

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He's said plenty of crazy shit, no need to invent things.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's not though. He's clearly trying to motivate non-voters to get out and vote for him, saying he'll fix everything if they give him another term, and then they can go back to not voting.

Like I said, there's plenty of actual insane, vile things he's actually said. No need to make things up.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

I think that’s pretty naive to believe

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago

I know better than to believe his lies.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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

OBAMA 2028 !!!!!!

[–] Lucidlethargy 14 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 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] 5 points 6 hours ago

I will throw a party when this happens.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

It's pronounced... hamberder

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day 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] 140 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day 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] 103 points 1 day 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] 28 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

You know who also said that? Putin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day 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 day ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day 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] 11 points 1 day ago

And why would anyone believe a word this turd says?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (11 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.

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 day ago

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