President Donald Trump did not dismiss the idea of pursuing a third term in the White House, despite the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution prohibiting it, claiming that “there are methods” to achieving this and emphasizing that he was “not joking.”

He just likes to throw shit out there to see what happens. Makes him feel important to stir up people that don’t like him. He has been a bully all his life and this is just one form of bullying.
when will people wake up and realize that one day...Trump will not be around anymore...who are the MAGA people follow then? We need to stand up to him and not let him misconstrue the Constitution to HIS benefit...that is what he will do...fight the fight!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
not sure who? everyone needs to go against him!!! look at what he has done in the first few months! now the people who thought they were voting for themselves...are actually ruining the lives of others!
We tired, they thought we were condescending. We weren’t condescending, we were in a state of panic cause we knew. There’s something called self education which is done through reading everything you can get your hands. Shame more weren’t self educated before voting.
It’s all bullshit. He just needs attention. Ignore this and focus on the shit we have to deal with now, like saving Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, the first amendment, immigration, and dismantling of the government. Come on the guy is a fat out of shape 82 year old.
Trump still hasn’t mentioned the four U.S. soldiers who died this week on a mission in Lithuania.
His callousness is astonishing. And the media just go along with it… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5oXBuFKOLdc
Your occasional reminder that this is what the Constitution means to him, and all of your thoughts about elections and lawsuits are a bunch of naive daydreaming bullshit. He told you he'd be a dictator on day one. Guess what? 77 million Americans chose that. His party enabled him. Now we all suffer.
The 22nd Amendment was passed to limit U.S. presidents to two terms in office, primarily in response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's election to four terms, which raised concerns about the potential for excessive power and the need for leadership stability.
He'd already said these things during his first term; that he aimed to be emperor for life. But now that no one can claim ignorance, will someone remove this guy please?
Constitution 😝🤣 I'm a convicted felon and you still let me run. France is smarter than America. So is Brazil. So is Korea. You're all just sitting around bamboozled by me. 😝👊
They probably already have everything in place and he can’t keep a secret! I bet the elections are fixed forever like Trump promised. There is nothing we can do people! This is the country of watch and stay quiet. Zero accountability for thee just for me!
I don’t think he should run again … but he should by a house where Obama bought a house and then he can stay close to the White House for the next Republican administration…
What would be so wrong with that?
Trump with the help of “Meet the Press” to find a new shining object for the press to follow like cats. No news on this one, but Trump has succeeded stopping the security breach of his cabinet be in the news. News would really talk about this, then really talk about issues of ICE grabbing people.
I believe this is a) a distraction from SignalGate and b) something states need to plan for. They are clearly pushing voting to states and red states will comply and put him on ballot. We need it to be in state law regardless of constitution because we know they don’t care.
If this is actually considered, it’s time to form that “well regulated militia” and take back our country from this tyrannical government. It’s our patriotic duty as Americans.
he has proven to be so qualified????focus on campaign promises-bring costs down-avoid a recession???? people need to make him aware we don't like what he is doing-upsetting our governemnt-democracy vs autocracy-americans vs billionaires-NATO vs usa alone-remember Sept. 11-who came to our aid-allies
this is fascism-no more elections-he will never voluntarily leave the white house-he is having so much fun, being entertained by his sycophants, playing lots of golf at our expense, raking in millions-he was broke back in 2014-2015- now he is a billionaire-releasing tax records? doubt it...grift!
All he needs is SCOTUS. Like emolluments is point blank in the constitution, but they gave Trump a pass by not hearing it. And yes, a corrupt SCOTUS did that.. imo.. Is Trump investigating Thomas and Alitos perks? no chance.
Brit here. Sorry to barge in, but WTAF? The view from here is state capture. We're shitting ourselves because the tangerine turd has the nuclear codes.
It's all fun & games until it's not! It's time to wake up because this Orange Turd is hinting at: 2 words, starts with M and rhymes with Claw - he is considering ways to breach a constitutional barrier. We're here coz 2024: "He wont do that!" And then he did! Who will stop him SCOTUS??
Of course! He has all the symptoms of dictator. His policies target minorities, he is trying super hard to kill free speech and the free press, almost all of his loyalists are future criminals or already doing something shady. And it’s no secret they all have a problem with people having money…
Take it from me Jan 6 is just the starter fire… this will lead to total collapse of the American Constitution with people being horrified and cowardly condemning the “takeover” by the MAGA fueled crowd with The Moron sending out texts.. watching it enact on TV.
Rumours of $5000 per US tax payer as a result of the DOGE carnage. Is that true? If so, sad to say I bet there's a few million Americans who would take that as a reward for letting this jerk turn the constitution on its head and stay on. Lots of Americans seemingly can't see past their garden gates
Just as he said he’d be a dictator on day one, we should believe that he intends to do this. This is a blatant intent to violate the Constitution he swore to uphold and defend and is grounds for immediate removal.
This needs to be a front-page story every day. He has made a mockery of the oath of office from the second he did it (not even placing his hand on the Bible - he might think that absolves him of responsibility for all his unconstitutional behavior).
Where all all the 2nd amendment types?!? This is clearly a president trying to usurp the constitution!! Or was it never really about the constitution..?
Well at least him being old, obese and cognitive decline, a lifetime of him won't be too much longer. The horrible thought of President JD Vance makes me feel sick though.
Trump will be 83 at the end of his term , Father Time is the great equalizer, his diet sucks , he is fat , bruises on the hands from shots or blood work gets no exercise except for hitting a golf ball , he rages, gets no sleep , throws fits, by then his brain fried ,dementia shitting himself
The only methods to do this are an amendment that requires 2/3 vote in #house and #senate and ratification by 34 states, #Martiallaw or full suspension of the #Constitution
If JDV resigns, Trump becomes POTUS. Trump was not 'elected' POTUS more than twice in this scenario. I know it's sketchy but I think they could pull it off. Presuming that JDV/Trump ticket "wins" in 2028 to begin with.
He's had two elected terms as POTUS, not V-POTUS. The 12th Amendment was written long before the 2-elected term provision was enacted and he'd challenge it. JDV would have to be given a heck of a deal to resign as POTUS and hand the reigns back to Trump, but I can see this happening.
Trump will be lucky to still be alive and spewing three and a half years from now. We’re already flirting with Weekend At Bernie’s territory in his first 100 days.🤷♂️
Terrifying prospects, but I just don't see it happening short of an amendment. And even then, it'll be a hard sell to get 3/4 of the states to approve it within time for the 2028 election.
I would suggest no one assume anything when it comes to Trump. Who would have thought that we would be where we are already with a criminal in power, having lead an insurrection against the state. Simply put, the US constitution has been found wanting by the only man in history prepared to test it.
As Hillary was daily smeared and destroyed for meaningless emails, by all means, let’s prop up a genocidal madman by coddling his outrageous treachery, grifting, and megalomaniacal aspirations. Mind blowing.
Why are you and other corporatized media incessantly covering this distracting crap? Meanwhile, I guess the brazen incompetent treachery by his goons regarding Signalgate is just another real atrocity that they will get away with. CNN is worse than FOX News, peddling nuanced propaganda.
Why go down the rabbit hole with every outrageous distraction peddled by Trump & his goons. Same with the idiotic reporting that Trump is now suddenly angry with his handler, Putin. Does anyone really believe this shit? Meanwhile, the growing list of his atrocities is forgotten & unaccounted for.
So CNN in as forceful terms as possible, might you as a media entity that’s supposed to actually care explain to everyone that this is craziness and that everything Trump is doing is destroying our democracy. Or are you just too scared to do your jobs?
To guard against 22nd amendment loophole, it is about time to work on a constitutional amendment that states explicitly that a 2 term President can’t hold office of VP, House Speaker, Senate President pro tempore, Sec. of State, Sec. of Treasury or Sec. of Defense.
He has no intention of respecting the constitution. He respects nothing and especially not his own function. He will do anything to stay in power...but he is very incompetent and his team too.
Relax, let him say whatever he wants he is elderly and in poor health, and I will be very surprised if he makes it through 4 years.. even if he somehow skirts the law and stays in power after that, it won't be for long, lol...
Congress doesn't need to do anything. It's an amendedment that makes him ineligible, just like people under 35 or foreign-born, naturalized citizens. Even if red states put him on the ballot, blue states won't. It's a distraction to draw attention from what he is actually doing. Don't lose focus.
How about writing a headline that properly reflects the egregious illegality and dictatorial power grab that this statement clearly indicates! How are y’all so incapable of reporting what is actually going on instead of speaking about it as if it’s a normal thing to say. Step up to the moment. SMH
Demons better wake up. Find real leaders for the Senate and the House. Ditch AOC nonsense. Stop 🛑 crusading. Get Real. Win in 2026 or u r cooked. We all will be. Cooked.
You people think there willl be another election? Very naive! You people think judges and democrates can do anything to stop the fascists? Very dumb. You think the military will stop him if he decides to invade other countries? Thats even more ridiculous. Face it, you live in a dictatorship.
A businessman never thinks about investing in charity unless it serves his business. A spoiled child only thinks of himself and doesn't give a damn about others. It's hard to combine these two assets in one person, and worse, to have him elected leader of the world.
There’s a reason why he’s purging anyone at the top of the DoD that he doesn’t deem a loyalist. This is it. It’s straight out of the dictator’s playbook.

His callousness is astonishing. And the media just go along with it…

I'll be doing a third term
Anyway he may die in his bed by then. Do not panick from now..
I don’t think he should run again … but he should by a house where Obama bought a house and then he can stay close to the White House for the next Republican administration…
What would be so wrong with that?
Might be sooner if #Democrats take back the #House in special elections before then

A Show for the American masses!
" @cnn.com suggests Trump should run for a third term and continued to push him for ideas on how he could make it happen"
12th Amendment prevents ineligible Prez candidates from running as VP... and the 22nd Amendment makes him ineligible to run again as Prez.
So he can't use the 'sacrificial Prez' gambit.
And report the fraud and corruption
Second week.
Second month.
when we say
the plan is to terminate his current term
early!
Even if #jdvance gets elected, he can't delegate #POTUS to be someone else who already had two terms
In order to be vp you have to be eligible to be #POTUS
And #jdvance can’t just hand over Presidency to a random citizen

Maddeningly, the question of who Trump is working for has been this perpetual “mystery.” He doesn’t work for anyone but himself.
And in case you are wondering he will say: he didn’t serve 8 years IN A ROW which is what they meant in the constitution
This is not OK.
The water is boiling.
The oaths taken need to be fulfilled now, or the republic only ever was a theory and the constitution agreeable fiction.
I suspect he's also being totally manipulated by the Heritage foundation, and is nothing more than an easily manipulatable and disposable puppet.
he's not thinking of an election
At least not one America has ever witnessed
This is ONE way Trump would get in. Vance as Pres., then he would step down and Trump takes over.
Or Bannon hinted at something too.
Just watch out for back-dooring. OMG! What a nightmare.
Remember too, the Orange guy WILL BE older! (And probably health issues)
