“I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you’re allowed for some reason to run for a third term, is there a thought that Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump in the Oval Office on Monday…
This reads like an obvious ploy to soften the idea to his base. They hate Obama too, probably because Trump does.
What other opponent would ire them more? Also, if someone like Obama was on-board, it would be more of a challenge to the rule against it from both sides. Democrats rally behind Obama, Voting machine hackers behind Trump.
Is like a pretext to calling Obama a chicken for not doing it down the road.
Trump says he would love to run against deceased president Washington in 2028.
Oh, normalization of a third term. Cool.
Cool, cool, cool.
I actually just saw the video. He actually talked about only having 4 years to do everything, I think things on here get a little over exaggerated a bit sometimes . I Suggest looking to up.
Considering everything he’s done in less than 4 months, I’d expect him to finish up within the next few weeks. April 20th sounds good to me.
Did you forget the first 4 years where he fucked everything up in the first term?
So he’s asking for a mulligan for his first term.
How about you share the video?
I’ll admit, I didn’t believe he said it. I still don’t believe he means it, though.
hey America, you know all those GUNS you have to protect you from monarchy…time to use them.
But as they like to remind us every time i remind them of their second amendment, its only the republicans that are 2a Defenders 😂
Their whole country is getting taken over by Nazis, and they’re too afraid to do anything. Americans are pussies.
The clearest indicator yet that Trump’s rigging the next one.
Trump would love to run against Obama because he knows if he loses it’d be easy to dispute a third Obama term.
I feel like someone took the Necronomicon, and didn’t speak the three words correctly
Klaatu varada…necktie
Now look at what you did!! The time-space continuum is ruined and we have oompa loompas with long necties wrecking the geopolitical and economical landscape!
Definitely an N-word!
Hypothetical? That’s a weird way to spell “unconstitutional”.
I’d “love” to see Trump run off a bridge.
long walk off a short pier. Preferably someplace with sharks.
It would be nice to see Trump get absolutely destroyed by the person he hates most in the world.
I doubt it. Obama really went into the dark side after his first term, so he’d only be marginally better than your average Dem candidate.
I’ve been a conservative voter with ethics my whole life and Obama was the best candidate I ever voted for.
So you’ve been a sucker that voted against your own interests your whole life lol.
Unless you are a millionaire, voting against workers rights, raising the minimum wage, expanding public schools and universal healthcare makes you a class traitor.
Tell me you didn’t finish reading even one complete sentence before responding, without telling me you didn’t even read one complete sentence before responding.
Nah, i read it. “Conservative voter with ethics” still means voting against workers rights, voting against raising the minimum wage, voting against universal healthcare and voting against better public education.
Republicans per definition are class traitors.
Imagine having someone tell you that despite a right leaning tendency, they still vote for Democrats.
And then you swoop in and tell them they’re a giant piece of shit.
You know that your behavior is literally what Russian troll farms are intended to cultivate as per the Muler report, right?
Some people seem to have an inability to understand the importance of coalition building in a democratic society. That’s kind of the whole thing.
Like, sure there’s a time and place for us to argue differences, but how productive is it to just lead in with calling someone a class traitor? Regardless of whether someone feels that’s true, is that a helpful approach? What purpose does that really serve?
Obama broke like half or more of his promises, like ending the war on terror, closing Guatanamo Bay and universal healthcare. Maybe you liked that, but “conservatives with ethics”—if we accept their existence, which I don’t—don’t exist in nearly enough numbers to matter, and the people who do matter in this equation absolutely hated it.
Behold the purist, festooned upon his throne of ivory! alone.
Obama exceeds the realm of purism or not; the man is barely any better than Hillary these days. If you think someone like that—who, again, is now known to be a liar by his would be most ardent supporters—can beat Trump, then you haven’t been paying attention. The past three general elections have proven decisively that motivated and politically active voters who support the party platform are crucial to securing victory, and as a matter of strategy Obama doesn’t have any of those.
Voters don’t really pay close enough attention for that to matter. The vast majority couldn’t tell you a single ‘dark side’ thing he did.
Obama is super charismatic, which is a large part of why he won in the first place.
The vast majority couldn’t tell you a single ‘dark side’ thing he did.
Maybe, but the progressive activist base does and without that he’s hopeless.
Its not hypothetical. Its straight out against the constitution.
Order of succession is one thing they are looking at.
JD runs for prez. Someone else as VP. trump as speaker
VP.Daddy Warbucks buys/rigs elections.
JD wins.
JD resigns. VP resigns.
Trump is acting prez.
He didn’t run nor was elected as prez. But he can become acting prez via order of succession.
Voilà. 3rd term.
For reference https://thehill.com/opinion/5204688-steve-bannon-trump-third-term/
“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
-12th Amendment
Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.
Fair enough. Then he becomes speaker and then
Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
So he acts as president.
Point being. If you think there isn’t a loophole they won’t exploit you haven’t been paying attention.
What the drunk…
