No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

    My dudes, this pacifist in the USA with active background investigations will happily say I’d die defending my country against this outcome.

    But hopefully he waits until the 4 years term is done. I gotta agree with the other guy who pointed out that vans is basically a nazi but unlike trump, vans would probably not care about “coming out” and doing what nazis do.

    Was it not already clear last time when he encouraged his followers to launch an insurrection when he lost?! How much fucking warning do you need?

      The insurrection happened because conservatives saw that they couldn’t win democratically.

      This time they did, with the help of voter suppression.

        with the help of voter suppression.

        And amplification of the anti-electoralist/accelerationist cult’s propaganda.

          And with the help of the other right wing party, by putting forth a candidate who insisted everything is fine, even when it isn’t.

        … win democratically. This time they did, with the help of voter suppression.

        So, they didn’t.

    I was called out (on Reddit) for pointing out how insanely dangerous this comment was in 2018.

    Trump also praised China’s President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn’t mind making such a maneuver himself. “He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”

      this is some annoying meta-irony thing that a politician should not be doing, because it is very difficult to discern a position from it. you have to take him both literally and sarcastically at the same time, which is about as useful as ignoring him. nobody has a clue what’s going on when he talks

        It’s senile ramblings and when he rambles on his deathbed who to kill next even then the sycophants around him will follow it as a message from the 6d gods playing chess against the enemy.

    Even if he doesn’t live through his term, the action of evading term limits will surely have much longer impact as it opens new doors for dictators.

      Best case scenario he finishes his prep to abolish term limits and fails to kill elections.

      Then we get Obama/Waltz 2028.

      Nah he’s just planting trees for future generations to sit under.

      Can’t have Barron end up anywhere other than King, right?

    Realistically, his life probably won’t last until the end of his term. It’s vance’s theocratic dictatorship you need to watch out for.

      “I declare myself President for life!”

      “So you’re saying there’s exactly one very particular way for us to make you not be President anymore…?”

      “Uh…”
