this is how he operates.. he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.
this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.

....to shreds it is, then.
Does everyone remember during Trump's first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said "maybe we should try that" and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he'll get. Now there's a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.
"Rewrite the rules" is a clear campaign slogan.
This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn't get to run again.
Hopefully also literally unable to run
He wasn't able this time either. 14th amendment.
You think he's currently able to run? If so I have a medical report you'll love to see.
As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he's disqualified under the 14th amendment from holding his office. We're already past that line.
Well, running for president isn't really running if the result is already fixed. So you have that going for you.
He said he’d do this. Why are any USAians surprised?
I’m glad to see “Americans” getting used less for obvious reasons, but every time I see that written I read it as “us asians”.
I vote for Stations.
Well, Statians, but pronounced the same as stations.
Modify them to read ‘Trump: 1946 - 2028’.
*this is not real, I shopped it
"See?! Libs want a dictator too!!!!11"
Please don't, I would buy them and finance Trump :(
Where did I suggest purchasing anything?
You really are a genius, i wasn't sure before.
Next merch: Trump 1793.
Turns out it's nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you've got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.
Nah, turns out you don't actually have to change it at all. If nobody is willing to enforce the rules laid out in the Constitution, then it's just a worthless scrap of paper that means nothing. He can just do whatever he wants now, nothing matters.
Every child knows a rule only counts if a) you're caught breaking them and b) you're punished for breaking them.b
He's just ignoring it anyway.
and ignore them because they're incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.
They're not cowards.
They're collaborators, getting rich off it just as much as the others.
The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don't agree with either of you.
Long may I continue to be proven wrong.
I can't think of a comment to make here that won't get me investigated by this Secret Service
Step up your op sec and speak freely :)
I'm not protesting now, cuz laziness, but you better belive I'm burning shit if he wants ro run again
He wants to run again, but really, he wants to not need to run at all. Just dictator for life, which is probably not very long considering his age and health. Putin is his model for how "free and fair" elections should go.
I have faith that our Constitution will weather this and also no Republican will sit in the oval office in 2028.
I have thought to myself for a long time.. what would happen once people started putting up Trump 2028 flags in their yards? What would happen if those houses started burning down as a result?
I mean, at LEAST throw a handful of pocket salt on their yard each time that you walk by.
Maybe find out their names and give generic complaints to their employers.
I guess Trump merch is exempted from the tariffs?
Susan Collins is very concerned.
Waiting for the merch commemorating members of the public stringing everyone in the administration up.
Even if he isn't going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It's money in the bank.
ok he's serious.
It's pitchforks and guillotines time.
He may be old, but mentally and emotionally he is like a child.
Maybe its for Trump Jr? I think we all know its not, but maybe?
Given his tanking popularity, he might be better off ordering the Trump 2032 hats alongside this and get a bulk discount.
Eric Trump 2028? lol
