Trump rules out seeking a third White House term if he wins reelection

Desert Storm said:
Biden and Obama are both weak (military) leaders.
Why do you think Putin took Crimea under Obama, then waited for Trump's term to end, only to invade rest of Ukraine when Biden was voted in

He probably waited in the expectation that Trump would stay in the White House.

Had that happened, Trump would have stood next to Putin at the victory parade in Kiev, and cheered every move Putin made to re erect the Iron Curtain.

That is Putin’s stated goal. One which Trump, and his more psycophantic supporters approve of.

Why do you think that? It would take two thirds of each house to make him eligible. With our current congress, I doubt that two thirds of them could agree that flying a kite in the park and then getting ice cream on the way home is a fun Saturday.

If they had the control they would do it to stay in his good graces.

Republicans would probably do it if they could. They can't, so it's now up to the SCOTUS.

All he had to say was no, the Constitution doesn't allow a 3rd term...

But no, he made it about himself as usual.. He can fix all the problems in 6 months, blah, blah blah...

His ego is pitiful..

No, it was two weeks

Yes, he made it about himself, as he always does.

It was pathetic to watch him parade out all the old schtick.

For a moment there, I thought he was going to try and tell the snake story. (Odd, that Trumpsters loved this part of his act, even thought he was obviously the snake!).

Lol BDS

Trump believes he can run for a third term.

2 options

He either is ignorant of the Constitution

Or

He is a very confused old man

Either way it's scary bwahaha

"Former President Trump said in an interview airing Sunday that he would not seek a third term if he wins reelection, something that is barred by the Constitution.

“Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker asked Trump if there was “any scenario” in which he would seek a third term in office, citing arguments from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and other rivals that Trump can only do so much for voters since he would be limited to one more term, while other candidates could win two terms."

I hear its illegal, but I doubt that's occurred to him.

FDR served almost four terms, but died before completing his incumbency, so there is precedent, albeit constitutionally tricky.

Yes, just like Jared was going to resolve the issues between Israel and Palestine because he read a few books:
nymag.com

Kushner Can Solve Israel-Palestine Conflict Because He’s ‘Read 25 Books on It’

That’s a lot of reading for the Trump administration, though not quite enough for his 80-page plan to make it past peer review.

Oh, and there was the opioid crisis he was tasked with solving. Only the best people...
www.vox.com

Jared Kushner is now tasked with solving the opioid crisis as well as Middle East peace

An expert isn’t sure the plan adds up.

Why wouldn't he?

He's a megalomaniac and probably a full-blown narcissist to boot.

Its early. Polls in general aren't reliable, especially this early. The other thing is that the polls of the whole country don't matter. What matters as we get closer are the polls in the battleground states. I am confident that as the law catches up with the lying jackass Americans will understand that integrity matters and reject a jailbird as a candidate.

Jimmy Carter got more done in one term than Reagan did in two.

Yes, he certainly did.

He stabbed the Ayatollah Khomeini in the back and he had so much fun doing that he stabbed the Shah in the back.

He got 10s of 1,000s of Kurds slaughtered.

He sold chemical munitions to Saddam Hussein.

He violated the Vienna Conventions and got a bunch of Americans taken hostage.

He approved a rescue plan that had 0% chance of working and got Americans killed and lost a bunch of aircraft and the plan failed.

He goaded Saddam Hussein into invading Iran, and then sent US military advisors there who ultimately gave the green light to use the chemical munitions we sold him against Iran.

And then Saddam used the chemical munitions we sold him to kill even more Kurds.

He illegally overthrew 3 governments in Central American to keep the uber-wealthy wealthy.

He refused to deploy ERWs even though there were a few 1,000 ERWs in the Group of Soviet Forces Germany and the Group of Soviet Forces South.

He messed up a couple of countries in sub-Saharan Africa so the uber-wealthy could stay wealthy.

The only thing he did right was authorize the deployment of Pershing IIs and BGM-109Gs.

Overall, he did such a good job of making America worse that he got blown out in the 1980 Election.

You just can't wait to get your hands on those resources in the eastern Russian republics.

If weak Americans hadn't been so weak, there wouldn't have been a crisis and the only way to solve it is to close the borders and take oxycodone off the market and Democrats would never allow either to happen.

Isn't it amusing (or sad) that trump thinks he can cure all the country's ills in 6 months to a year, yet he couldn't do it in his first 4 years?

That’s because the deep state was working against him, doncha know!

The last time the economy went to shit was when Trump was finishing his only term. The time before that was when Bush let the entire banking and mortgage system crash after lying his way into a never-ending war.

It's always been democrats who pull us out of economic disaster. It's the GOP who put us there. Lats year's default fight is the perfect example. Brought on by republicans and cost us with our credit rating.

I knew somebody was going to drag that one out.

Bden and the Democrat senate cost us our credit rating by spending money we don't have. Is it too much to ask that you pay your bills?

The alternative was

"Would you recognize the limits the Constitution establishes with respect to your term in office and leave the WH without taking hostages, or some crazy xit like that?"
