He's Already Talking About A 3Rd Term.

The Donald, that is.

Fortunately, the old hooded guy with the scythe will probably intervene before that becomes a problem for America democracy.

[jackthehat]

No more than 2 are allowed........under present laws although I suppose DJT may just have enough clout to change that.

[douglas9401]

Just more senile ramblings, nothing to see here.

[youngmafbog]

A link?

[sandyRoe]

Was just mentioning on BBC Radio 4 news.

[youngmafbog]

So he says "We", not I.

Given his age, plus the fact he is well aware on 2 terms can be served, he means either the Republicans or the Trump dynasty.  The second I have no truck with the first is fine.

Of course they could get an old duffer in with dementure and then he could have a third term just as Barry did.

//contrary to the suggestions of some supporters, he tells TIME he would not seek to overturn or ignore the Constitution’s prohibition on a third term. //

[youngmafbog]

Dont ruin the TDS Clone.  They are forthing at the mouth at this 🤣

He can't have a 3rd term - end of. Best he could do would be to have one of his family take over.

[naomi24]

Do get a grip.  Even the Guardian says he was joking.

[douglas9401]

Ah, humour, what he's famous for the world over.

Just another running off at the mouth episode.

[mushroom25]

on the BBC news just now, the conversation reportedly went something like:-

DJT: if I do really well in my second term, the guys (congress, it was assumed) had better find a way to bring me back for a 3rd term.....

[Atheist]

Laws can be changed. Especially if you appoint your own people to be judges. We've seen that with Hitler and Putin.

[Atheist]

He might be too old, but there's always Musk to take over. Elon won't be content with playing second fiddle to a geriatric noodle who can't even brag in the millions.

[Ellipsis]

Ellie's link was from August 2020, when Trump was POTUS and challenging for his second term, which he lost. The recent comments were just running his mouth off, the wag that he is. A running joke that's more than 4 years old now ... 

[elliemay1]

^ sorry about that Ellipsis, I should have checked!

[Togo]

//We've seen that with Hitler and Putin.//

   ...   and Starmer

[Atheist]

Togo. You rate Starmer up there with Hitler and Putin?

[Ellipsis]

> sorry about that Ellipsis, I should have checked!

No problem, it makes no difference, it's a consistent long-running joke - isn't it???
