And that's a big part of why, despite everything Biden is doing, I am 100% voting for him. Because if Biden wins, there will be a 2028 election where we can hopefully find someone better, and I'm not convinced that there will be under Trump.
Four years of Trump came really close to turning this country into a kakistocratic dictatorship. I really don't want to give him another chance.
Despite what that Biden's doing exactly? I've heard about Israel weapon sales that are now being forced through by republicans as well. What else?
Ok hear me out…
Trump wants to be a dictator, sure. He was a terrible president and it would be a disaster if he was reelected.
Now that you know my position, listen to what he said at the NRA convention. He wasn’t saying ‘hey maybe I’ll serve 3 terms’… what he was saying was ‘if I get elected in 2024 then would that be two terms or three terms? Because we all know I was elected to a second term back in 2020 and so even though Biden is acting president, I am in my second term now, so a win in 2024 is a third term.’
The man is an idiot and rambled incoherently throughout the NRA speech. He reiterated his usual batch of racist xenophobic statements and bragged about his uncle at MIT… he is a one trick pony and there is plenty to poke fun at.
Would he tout the idea of a third term for himself? Sure! Is that what he did in this case, not precisely.
Oh you're right. I guess I forgot one could be that stupid
Exactly. Of course, by putting forth the belief that 2020-2024 was his second term, he should just bow out since he has also said he would not want to challenge the 22nd amendment.
3, then 4, then 5... Just like putin.
"Let me tell you, folks, it’s so true. Just like Putin, right? It’s unbelievable. We start with 3, then we go to 4, and then 5. It's all about strength, and nobody knows strength like me. We're talking about a progression, a strategy. Just like Putin does, so smart. You have to move step by step, building power. That’s how you win, that’s how you get things done. Trust me, it works."
Trump in one of his rallies (probably)
Hey now, things aren't that bad. No way Trump lives long enough for that.
And then his children will run for office, and only because he's too old now.
Republicans hate the constitution, so… this checks out.
The same guy who unilaterally banned bump stocks with an executive order being hosted by the NRA shows how much the NRA actually cares about the second amendment.
Are you claiming the "take the guns first" guy isn't a strong 2A supporter? Say it isn't so!
I support a life-term prisondency for him.
To be honest I think Clinton or Obama would have been president for life if two term limits weren't imposed.
FDR is why there's an amendment prohibiting it. He's speaking openly of violating the constitution. Hey "patriots", isn't that supposed to be a thing that makes you mad?
I'm too young to chime in on Clinton, but I can see it with Obama for sure.
that's how dictators dictate
“If the Biden regime gets four more years, they are coming for your guns,” Trump railed.
Really pulling out the "greatest hits" with this piece here. He's got nothing else.
‘Member when Trump said he’d take guns without due process? Like he literally said that.
What's newsworthy about this? Trump flirting with dictatorship isn't news, he already said multiple times he wants to be one.
The only time we elected a president more than twice, it was a Socialist, and he was so popular that we had to pass a law after he was elected a fourth time so it didn’t happen again.
Edit: fixed!
Hmmmm sound more to me like he doesn't know the current max number of terms
noted fascist is a fascist, more at 5
Guys I'm starting to think that this Trump fellow might not like democracy
