Trump jokingly suggests serving as many as five terms

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/444682-trump-jokingly-suggests-serving-as-many-as-five-terms


President Trump joked at a campaign rally on Monday that he could serve as many as five terms in the White House.

"Now we're going to have a second time," Trump said in Montoursville, Pa., recounting the details of his surprise election victory in 2016.

"And then we'll drive them crazy. Ready? And maybe if we really like it a lot and if things keep going like they're going, we'll go and we'll do what we have to do. We'll do a three and a four and a five."

"We're going to have another one, and it's going to be great," the president clarified as the crowd cheered him on.

He spends too much time texting on the putin back-channel blackberry, and skyping mbs and chit chatting with dictators on the American dime. Just the associative missives(?) point to a guilty conscience. It's SO obvious.
Your days are officially numbered trump clan. Dirty rotten rats. Whole decrepit family. From top to bottom, side to side.
I'm curious how JUDGE TRUMP, the sister federal judge, who kinda retired recently, figures into all of this. Real curious how rotten she is too.
We turned a corner today. imo.

It's part of his superpowers.

But Trump doesn't have a true sense of humor. When he says shit like that, he's testing the waters. It's no accident that he does it at his rallies; of course the nutcases that go to them will cheer every lunatic idea.

On the plane. Let him keep saying this though. It will backfire on him bigly.

Very possible congressional and court republicans would back trump all the way no matter what he does and without any citizen voter count /approval needed

Trump can use excuses like
.He needs more time for his MAGA plans etc, so we can’t change now or in the near future if we want to continue the success we have had under Trump

.Congress does not have term limits , it’s so unfair for the president to have term limits

.And most important no one can do it better than him

Don’t think we are just” too free here “for something like this to continue into a greater decline of democracy with a large portion of the population ignoring it all the way to the end

And after he stiffs* the family of the first one, it'll be hard to find a successor.

*Yeah, I said it.
