Anyone But Trump, 2028
Also, where are the Epstein files?
Desperate measures require desperate times.
So he thinks killing people is a joke.
One of the reasons he's so desperate to end the Ukraine War is so he can collect his Nobel Peace Prize, freeing him to start his war with Mexico, and have a draft, essentially enslaving the entire young male demographic so they can't be used against him in a Civil War.
Then he can use the Mexican War as an excuse to suspend elections, even though we've never cancelled an election in our history, not even during the Civil War.
The fact that he lept on Z's remark about no election, illustrated that he's been giving this a lot of thought, wondering what might work as a reasonable excuse. Dems love Zelensky, and he cancelled elections because of the war, so if America is in a war, he can cancel elections, and the Dems will have to accept it. It won't occur to him that there's a difference between fighting a war in a separate country, and fighting a war within your own capital city.
It also won't occur to him that just because something happened in a different country, doesn't mean we have to accept it here. We have a Constitution, that's the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.
We have a Constitution, that’s the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.
It's just words on paper if not enforced. And Republicans haven't been keen on enforcing it when it comes to him, not specifically but especially.

So who's he going to invade? Mexico or Canada?
Mexico for sure. It’ll be “to stop the cartels”. Calling it right now.
My money is on Canada.
- Nice, desirable natural resources like fresh water, lumber, and oil.
- Plenty of non-immigrant immigrants to feed the ~~legal slavery~~ prison industrial complex.
- Control over arctic trade passages.
And he's been laying the propaganda and groundwork for months now:
- "joking" about Canada being the 51st state.
- Claiming Canada is the source of illegally imported Fentanyl, despite overwhelming evidence that almost all of it comes from Mexico.
- Harsher tariffs than other allied countries, using Fentanyl as the justification for it.
- Factually incorrect statements about unfair and "illegal" trade restrictions imposed by Canada.
- Claims about Canada "taking advantage" of the country in regards to national security and a trade deficit that ignores the population and GDP difference.

If he tries to invade Canada, Canada’s gonna party like it’s 1814 and we gonna light up the WH - again.
Mexico, Canada or civil war. Just be as belligerent as possible to everyone and see who takes the bait.
I'll bet in private he's going nuts that no one has so far. "What the hell do I gotta do to these people?!"
Meh, just hold one without him. Get an electoral college quorum and move the new guy in because it's 100% state driven and he can't change the constitution. Like an old time papacy schism, let God sort it out.
he can’t change the constitution
No, but he's sure proven that he can ignore it. And the Supreme Court will ultimately back him up. And they've already ruled that he can't be charged with anything illegal he does while president (the courts won't even punish him for crimes he was convicted of when not POTUS). And even if they don't rule in his favor he's shown he's willing to ignore the courts when they don't rule in his favor.
If the cops and military side with him- and there is a good chance the majority in both groups are MAGAts, he'll just have people participating in the 'illegal/illegitimate' elections arrested.
If he's still alive in 2028 he will not give up power, I guarantee it.

Stop assuming he has good intentions. He does not
9/10 chance trump tries to cite the Ukrainian Constitution, then putin simultaneously tries to de-legitimize Zelenskyy.
Before any tries to use that as an excuse, let me say this: Ukraine has a different history, different circumstances, resulting in a different "social contract", you cannot apply a foreign country's constitution in your own country. Besides, all of their political parties have already agreed to postpone until after the war.
Oh hey look, it's exactly the thing I was talking about when Trump ran for a second term the first time.
"If Trump wins this election, there won't be any more elections."

Oh just dictator things.
Oh no! Who could have seen this coming! Oh, everyone? Oh ok. And people voted for this? Idiocracy to the max! You get what you ask for. You want an autocrat dictator getting rich from your backs, you'll get it!
He learned from Netanyahu.
We've had one Afghan invasion, yes. But what about second Afghan invasion?

I'm positive that would only apply, if the US was actually invaded and/or occupied by a hostile power. If it's just the US bombing some other country, then why would local politics be affected?
