    What did he mean I’m thinking not again?? He can’t run again. I know he will try to change it so he can but I doubt he gets away with it.

        I just don’t believe that honestly. It’s more likely it’ll be one of his family or cronies. This country puts up with a lot of shit but I don’t think he could get away with running for a third term. Even these Bible thumping constitution “loving” Republicans would surely understand why that can’t happen.

        Then again, you might be right.

          The only things that’re gonna stop him from running again are either he finally succumbs to all the health shit that he observably is experiencing or he cancels the elections. Until someone stops him that’s where things are going

          What do you think we’d actually do if he said tomorrow that he was running for another term? We’d organize a bunch of protests, the media would have a field day, it’ll get voted down and… what? They clearly aren’t willing to arrest him no matter what he does, so what exactly would we do to stop him if he just decided to do it anyway?

          I honestly think the best we could do would be to not print his name on the ballot, which would indeed be a big blow to his chances, but the extent to which I’ve seen our country fail to give even the slightest of repercussions to Trump’s shenanigans has killed any hope I had that we’ll ever really put up a fight against anything. We’re a bunch of little dogs yapping at an intruder we’ll never bite, and Trump has long since realized that if he just ignores us, he’s free to do whatever.

          You’re living in America and still find optimism?

          I don’t want to take that away from you. I want you to be right. But have no reason to believe you are.

          If he were younger, he’d definitely declare he could run again, or be god-emperor for life. But he’s now the oldest president and clearly has frontotemporal dementia. I don’t think he’ll last another term.

          Democracy isn’t actually in the constitution so it can technically be removed, or so I heard.

        Yes and no. He’s not likely to be alive in another month.

        He just had another stroke followed by a full week of no public appearances. Recent footage of him shows significant decline. He’s barely functional and hasn’t been in decent enough cognitive condition to hold public office in months, if not years. Rubio just perjured himself before Congress lying about the Pedo-in-Chief’s health.

        He’s got dementia, too. There is no cure for dementia. Every day that passes is another day of disease progression toward a terminal outcome.

        Odds of him being alive to see the results of November’s elections are so close to zero it might as well be zero. The real question is what happens once he’s gone.

      He’s going to run again if he’s alive and no one is going to stop him. The fact this person is even thinking about “again” is evidence it’s going to happen. People literally think he’s the messiah.

      He could be in a wheelchair with shit visibly running out of his pants and 1/3 of this country will vote for him as long as he can make up a stupid nickname for his opponent. We’ve watched him shit himself and fall asleep behind the desk live and no one cares.

      Whether he’ll win is a different question.
