this is how he operates.. he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.

this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 8 months ago

....to shreds it is, then.

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 56 points 8 months ago

"Rewrite the rules" is a clear campaign slogan.

This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn't get to run again.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Hopefully also literally unable to run

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

You think he's currently able to run? If so I have a medical report you'll love to see.

[-] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

He wasn't able this time either. 14th amendment.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 8 months ago

As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he's disqualified under the 14th amendment from holding his office. We're already past that line.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Well, running for president isn't really running if the result is already fixed. So you have that going for you.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 49 points 8 months ago

Does everyone remember during Trump's first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said "maybe we should try that" and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he'll get. Now there's a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

He said he’d do this. Why are any USAians surprised?

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 19 points 8 months ago

I’m glad to see “Americans” getting used less for obvious reasons, but every time I see that written I read it as “us asians”.

Modify them to read ‘Trump: 1946 - 2028’.

[-] choab@discuss.online 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

made this

*this is not real, I shopped it

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

"See?! Libs want a dictator too!!!!11"

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Please don't, I would buy them and finance Trump :(

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

Where did I suggest purchasing anything?

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

You really are a genius, i wasn't sure before.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 30 points 8 months ago

Turns out it's nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you've got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

[-] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 31 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Nah, turns out you don't actually have to change it at all. If nobody is willing to enforce the rules laid out in the Constitution, then it's just a worthless scrap of paper that means nothing. He can just do whatever he wants now, nothing matters.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 14 points 8 months ago

Every child knows a rule only counts if a) you're caught breaking them and b) you're punished for breaking them.b

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

and ignore them because they're incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

They're not cowards.

They're collaborators, getting rich off it just as much as the others.

[-] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

He's just ignoring it anyway.

[-] coherent_domain@infosec.pub 22 points 8 months ago
[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I guess Trump merch is exempted from the tariffs?

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Susan Collins is very concerned.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I'm not protesting now, cuz laziness, but you better belive I'm burning shit if he wants ro run again

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Waiting for the merch commemorating members of the public stringing everyone in the administration up.

[-] choab@discuss.online 8 points 8 months ago
[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I can't think of a comment to make here that won't get me investigated by this Secret Service

[-] AbraKadabra1993@reddthat.com 7 points 8 months ago

Step up your op sec and speak freely :)

[-] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 8 points 8 months ago

Even if he isn't going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It's money in the bank.

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

ok he's serious.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

He may be old, but mentally and emotionally he is like a child.

[-] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

He could pull a Clinton and build Melania as his successor. It wouldn't change his politics, but would at least be a prettier sight.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

I can't look at her any more these days either. She reminds me of Roald Dahl's description of people with ugly thoughts.

[-] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

She doesn't even want to be there for pictures, let alone actually do anything. Hillary, for all her faults, was actually a politician.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

I saw this interesting video, and there are not lots of ways for him to run in 2028.

[-] AbraKadabra1993@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Maybe its for Trump Jr? I think we all know its not, but maybe?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

This is just click bait

There is no useful information from what crazy merch is on the store. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even know that he has a store. There are real concerns about 2028 but this is just the media looking for attention.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Given his tanking popularity, he might be better off ordering the Trump 2032 hats alongside this and get a bulk discount.
