Of all the things that will never happen, this will never happen the most, but they do realize that if Donald Trump can run for a third term, Barack Obama can too.

So many leaders told America again and again that this sociopath must never get near the presidency again. But too many didn’t listen and here we are, watching as he burns it all down.
According to Jane Mayer's book Dark Money, Rep's groom college students to run for office; their loyalty is to the party, not the country.
By contrast, Dems do everything to keep them at arm's length.
The average age is 70+, & our tax laws usually hurt young people.
I'm 68. DC breaks my heart.
Obama has too much baggage.
Dems have young articulate, charismatic representatives, the old guard refuse to support them. Schumer is pushing John Kelly.
Does he move all of the voters we lost?
DC Dems continue to be out of touch with mainstream Americans.
They tried to stop Obama in 2007.
If this doesn’t frighten you, then you aren’t paying attention. This is is what happens when the wealthy buy elections. Between EM, HF P2025, oligarchs , corps, Russia, & DT there are so many different agendas at play. Hoping they will all turn on each other & Am.s will unite against them.
Andrew, I know that you know that this isn't gonna fly, not unless the House DEMs allow the House GOP's to change the US Constitution, particularly the 22nd Amendment. See attached......
True in theory, but I doubt Barack would have any desire to do so, or that Michelle would be cool with it. We need to look ahead, not keep falling back on those who did their part, expecting them to save the country yet again.
Trump has no life. He really thinks our Nation cannot function without his leadership. Our Nation was great before he entered politics and will be greater after he leaves office.
Yah, one of those methods Trump already attempted in 2020 - gather a violent mob to take over the Capitol during electoral count certification - then try to deploy the military against your own people - then refuse to leave the WH
They will say that it’s because he didn’t serve two terms back to back that he is allowed while President Obama did serve back to back terms making him ineligible.
For the rest of us to profit we need a greater fool.
Somebody who buy long and sell short.
The greater fool is somebody with the perfect blend of self delusion and ego to think that he can succeed where others have failed.
That's cute.
They will find a way to justify Trump running while creating an arbitrary reason for why Obama can't.
It won't matter anyway, because the next election won't be fair. Republicans will ensure the game is rigged enough for them to maintain/ grow power.
Not if he forces martial law, dismisses Congress and the Supreme Court. This in actuality is his ultimate goal and Congress (the Republicans...by ceding him their power)..have handed this to him.
VERY IMPORTANT that protests are peaceful and orderly.
Martial law, the temporary replacement of civilian rule by military authority, can only be imposed in USA during times of extreme crisis such as war, rebellion, or natural disasters, when civilian authorities are unable to maintain order.
Trump is an excellent example of why a society at least needs *SOME* jails. Ideally not privately operated ones. Ideally run by people who are adequately compensated. Ideally with the goal to (in most instances) provide actual rehabilitation and reintegration. But we need a few.
Pure Sunday morning distraction - same as the lie about slapping restrictions on Putin.
Anything to keep the media from talking about the epic national security failure.
Just read about how it could be possible
Language of the 12th,22nd snd 25th leaves a slight opening for a VP to assume to office of president. A two term president cannot be “elected” to a third term. That’s the lynch pin. Look into it Andrew
I think they’ll try to gerrymander the rule because that’s Trumps worst nightmare. He’s scared of Obama. I think they’ll try to make the rule where he’s able to serve back-to-back terms.
It's so frustrating how all media outlets write headlines like this as if it's all normal. Where is the shock, the fact that it's not legal, raising the red flags??? Do better people!!!
Awhile back, the House version of a possible Constitutional Amendment used language authorizing an additional CONSECUTIVE term, presumably to exclude Obama.
The congressman who wrote the bill specifically wrote it so that anyone who served 2 CONSECUTIVE terms can’t run again. That means ONLY Trump could run for a 3rd term. But this is a Constitutional Amendment so it will be hard for them to pass without Democrats
The bill proposed in the House stated that only people who served non-consecutive terms would be eligible, thus disqualifying Obama. These turds are nothing if not devious.
One way they are saying it can happen is if Vance gets voted in as President with Trump as VP and Vance steps aside.
1 - Who would vote for Vance who's already shown he's incompetent
2 - I think that still counts as 3rd term which is illegal under the constitution
All the talk is just to keep GOP Congress in line from fear of Trump possibly staying in office--even as the economy crashes. Since they have no spines, little actual fear is required.
Trump can’t be elected President again. So he found a loophole to become President anyway—by running as Vice President. It’s not illegal. That’s the problem. This isn’t a comeback—it’s a constitutional coup.
This will never happen?! This is a Narcissistic Psychopath who’s spent a lifetime committing a bevy of crimes incl fraud/rape(not just of adults)/theft culminating in cultivation as Russian asset/getting into WH/planning/inciting a coup/stealing ts docs/getting away with it all & stealing WH again!
They're trying to twist their argument to tailor it for Trump - they're saying he's eligible because he didn't get two *consecutive* terms. Which is absurd, because the 22nd Amendment says nothing about that.
That’s the election showdown I am waiting to see, but at this point I’m also relatively certain Obama would bust out his stern fatherly tone and tell us he isn’t running against him cause…reasons.
Just trying to make us focus on anything other than signalgate, tariffs, NATO threats, Musk, the stock market crashing deporting US citizens, the First Lady Trudeau , Elon banging his granddaughter, and the myriad of other things this shitstain fucks up.

I hope we actually see another attempted coup that ends with the US military publicly eliminating DJT Sr.

Heck, maybe he should just to prove a point.

Are we great yet?

He is talking about his family ruling USA for centuries into the future.

Trump won’t rule out a third term,
Claiming people want him to return.
Most people know that’s impossible.
To MAGA the constitution is optional.
Not because of the amendment.
Because it appears unlikely that there will be another free and fair national election unless and until this fascist regime is overthrown.
That aside, I’d love to see it.

It is a mistake to say it can't, or won't, happen. That thought process is how we arrived where we are now.

I don’t even care which is which…
1 - Who would vote for Vance who's already shown he's incompetent
2 - I think that still counts as 3rd term which is illegal under the constitution
and firing Hegseth and Waltz. It is the ONE topic he wants to disappear.
Read before it’s too late.
