Yes, Trump Will Do This

Over this weekend, Donald Trump once again posted something related to him running for a third term. In this case, he was reposting an image from one of his hardcore supporters.

But he has done this dozens and dozens of times, perhaps over a hundred times since beginning his second term. He is telling us exactly what his intentions are.

And yet many many people, especially on the left, do not believe him. They simply say, "Well, that's not possible according to the US Constitution. Therefore, he's not going to try." Or even if he does try, it's not going to work.

3 min vid, but full text:

"That is not the way Donald Trump operates. The US Constitution is not going to stop him. And if you think it will, ask yourself this question.

10 years ago, could you have imagined a president tearing down part of the White House in order to build himself a ballroom that he wanted? A president threatening to take Greenland by force unless they agreed to sell it to us.

A president acting like our allies are our enemies and our enemies are our allies. A president adding his own name onto places like the Kennedy Center. A president having tanks roll down the streets of Washington DC.

A president calling the free press the enemy of the people because he didn't like their coverage of him. A president calling into doubt a presidential election because he didn't win.

A president who demanded loyalty oaths not to the US Constitution but to him personally. A president who would brazingly enrich his own family by selling access to the Oval Office. A president who treats Canada as if it was an adversary on the other side of the world.

A president who would accept a luxury airliner as a gift from another country.

And I could go on and on with examples. But Donald Trump has already done many things that we never ever would have guessed any president would do, and he has already shown that he has no regard for the Constitution.

So when we see him post all this stuff about a third term, he is not just trolling. He is deadly serious and so are many hardcore Trump politicians. He's going to run for a third term and one way or another they're going to make sure he wins."

Jefferson Davis or George Wallace might be next.

It should be the Vikings. They were on North American soil hundreds of years before Columbus stumbled on the Caribbean.

Vikings landed in North America, specifically at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, exactly in 1021 AD. Led by Leif Erikson, they established a short-lived settlement nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus. This precise date was determined by analyzing tree rings on wooden artifacts, which showed they were cut in 1021.

Good point, AU.

The Vikings didn't stay long as they had no weapons superiority to the locals.

The melee battles caused too many casualties for re-supply ships to replace them all the way from Scandinavia.

The Spaniards came later with firearms, horses, and disease further to the south.

I don't think the Vikings accidentally introduced any contagion.

A statue of a family of dead First Americans spread out at the feet of a grinning Pilgrim goober with an axe in one hand and a still-smoking .50-caliber wheellock in the other might be more appropriate.

I was pointing out the Vikings discovered America, not Columbus, who's given credit for something he didn't actually do.

He would love a third term....

He's raking in billions selling crypto scams, pardons, merch and straight up bribes.

He's protected from being prosecuted as a------------.

He's protected from his stealing classified documents.

He's blowing through $3,000,000 in taxpayer money golfing every weekend.

Most importantly he is the center of attention which is priceless for him which ends when his term is over.

He will try everything he can to stay in office and the includes a coup (again).

The GOP will cowardly back whatever he does.

The only hope we have is the courts which so far have held him in check.

'And yet many many people, especially on the left, do not believe him. They simply say, "Well, that's not possible according to the US Constitution. Therefore, he's not going to try."'

Does anyone here know anyone who's actually said this, especially on the left? Honestly, I'd be surprised.

"Or even if he does try, it's not going to work."

Last time he did it in a half-assed way to try to maintain plausible deniability and portray himself as the victim afterwards. Of course, he's been a lot more aggressive in with his second term compared to his first. It's something people should take seriously, but at this point, 2.5 years out, it's basically just a distraction to divert attention away from other things.

- he's not going to try."

A lot of people think that there are limits to what he'll try, even with all the evidence against that.

- it's basically just a distraction

Well, obviously you know best. I mean, he really does need more distractions, eh?

Taking DJT seriously as a threat to the nation isn't being distracted, it's being more careful after learning lessons of the recent past.

After all this time, you still haven't figured out his MO. He's dictating to you which things to focus your energy on in the present moment, even though there's nothing you can do right now about something that might happen in 2028 (if he's even still around by then).

You've posted this same idiom for years, and it's just as nonsensical as ever.

There's much that can be done now to effect the outcome of both the mid-terms and the General.

I know you like to think you are brighter than everyone else having fingered out his MO when few other have, but that's just not the case.

We all know that much of what he does is Distraction from his criminal scams past and present, but we take that into account in determining what we should do... one of those things being to point out that these Distractions can also be part of the Plan.... like running for a third term.
