Summary
Plans for a potential Trump third term are already being discussed, despite constitutional limitations.
Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon has suggested they’re “working on it,” while Trump himself has made several hints about running again after 2028.
Some Republicans, like Congressman Andy Ogles, have proposed amending the 22nd Amendment to allow three terms.
Constitutional law professor Michele Goodwin warns that Trump’s administration has already shown “a display of lawlessness” with controversial executive orders and policies, while critics note Democratic opposition has been largely absent, allowing these discussions to gain traction.
It’s not being ignored, at least not by the people who actually matter: We The People.
The constitution tells us that he’s currently the president. We are following the constitution.
When the constitution tells us someone else is president, we’ll follow that, too.
The constitution declared him ineligible to hold the position because he is a proven insurrectionist … But here we are… the courts declared the constitution wrong and he was to be put on the ballot.
Trump should have been behind bars but the judiciary branch did not want to make haste nor prosecute an up and coming president … so here we are…
He put unelected people in places that they have absolutely no knowledge of, nor had they any security clearance, but no one dares to challenge them or Trump about it.
He’s stealing public funds here and there, under the guise of “savings from fraud” but no one knows where the money will be siphoned off to… and no one dares try to stop it.
He is disappearing people for no reasons other than not liking someone’s opinion, and denies them any form of legal recourse. They just dissappear.
He’s installed unmonitored internet in the White House through Starlink, no one tries to stop it or enquire what the need for that is.
He is trying to start wars over territory that is not his, think about that, a US-president personally being a warmonger, for no reasons other than his own.
He unabashedly promised no more need to vote after he was elected, already has multiple people promoting a 3rd term. And we’re now supposed to think this will be the reason someone will rise up to stop him? Or a senator here and there will dare to claim power from under him just because Trump’s term ended?
I’m waiting for the moment Trump actually shoots someone, in the white house or his palace in Florida, and it’s all laughed off with some lame reason.
He was in the elections as a presidential candidate, but everyone knew he’d be elected as a dictator, and as such he nor his cronies will not simply go away at the end of his term.
He can’t even just go away, he’d have various lawsuits hanging above his head, so he’ll keep his power for as long as he can.
The constitution says much more than just who is president, and not everything it says is being followed.
But you know that.
Of course I know that. I can’t control whether Trump follows the constitution. I can’t control whether you follow the constitution. I can only control my own actions. And as of 20 January 2029, Trump is no longer president.
If you’re going to claim otherwise, you do so at your own peril.
