Trump Talks Of Third Term!

Trump wants to be president for the rest of his life.
Do not take this as a joke!

Donald J. Trump wants to be president for life. He claims that he deserves a third term and people are thinking he is joking. No he is not joking. At a rally in Nevada, he was ranting about how the Democrats and the junk food media ruined his term as president. He said if he win reelection, he would declare he deserves another term as president.



If he does lose the election, he will not leave the White House and he will contest the results.

Malcolm Nance, a contributor to MSNBC as a terrorism analyst has noted that Trump's rants are not a joke. He is literally trying to undermine the results of the election if he doesn't win. If he does win reelection, he will find ways to continue on as president surpassing the 22nd Amendment which limits the presidency to two terms. The only president who served more than two terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died in his fourth term.



Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and personal fixer said that Trump never jokes. He admires leaders who stay in power longer than their appointed term. Think about it, he praises Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un.



Trump had said that "maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day..."

Trump has conferenced with Republicans to find a way to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

Back then, Republican fought to bring forth the 22nd Amendment as a way to undermine Roosevelt's third term as president. When he died, they managed to get enough states to ratify an amendment to keep the presidency towards two terms. It often means the second term leading into a lame duck presidency.

So far, the only president who served two terms since 1951 were Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Donald J. Trump has a 50% chance of winning reelection. He and Joe Biden are statistically tied.

Biden and Kamala Harris have to fight an onslaught of far-right and far-left agitators hell bent on sabotaging the election. They have to fight misinformation from leftists, right wing extremists and foreign operatives.

Trump is desperate for winning. He and the Republican Party have a "white nationalist" platform.

They are running on "law and order" and ignoring the pandemic and economy. He is ignoring the racial unrest and the climate crisis affecting the country.

Given a second term, he'll be willing stack the federal court and Supreme Court.
