"SNIP.............

“Donald Trump on Saturday floated the idea of a third term if he wins in November,” Politico reports.

Said Trump: “You know, FDR 16 years — almost 16 years — he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?”

“It’s not the first time Trump has mentioned extending his stay in the White House, an idea he suggested while on the campaign trail in 2020. His latest remarks provide more fodder for the Biden campaign, which seized on the comments as it tries to paint Trump as a threat to democracy and institutional norms.”

1. Idiot doesn't conveniently remember why they put in term limits (two) for the office of the Presidency.

Of course, he's forgetting the ass whipping he's going to get this coming Nov. 2024 (pardon the language), from Pres. Biden.

Of course tRUMP is getting more forgetful, more demented, as we have all seen.

[Irish_Dem]

2. He said this during his first term.

He said it should not count because people were mean to him.
He deserved two more terms.

[peppertree]

17. And his Banana Republicans love it

Therein lies the danger, really: not in Needy Amin himself as much as in the whole GOP - including the 6 Chicken Supremes.

This time, they're playing for keeps.

[Irish_Dem]

19. Yes of course it is no longer about just Trump.

It is about the American people who adore him.
And the corrupt judiciary.

[onenote]

3. I think he's just jerking around with the idea that he actually won in 2020.

Not that he's thinking of winning in 2024 and again in 2028. Of course, folks fall all over themselves, which is exactly what he wants.

[peggysue2]

4. He's 'floating' the idea. LOL

Which means we sink his ship to the bottom of the Deep Blue Sea!

[COL Mustard]

35. The only thing he floats

Is a turd in the punchbowl.

Sorry in advance for anyone who's eating.

[rurallib]

5. The people of the US make a counter offer of 5 consecutive jail terms

[bdamomma]

7. I want to see him

in the big house not the WH. How can people forget all the shit he has done during COVID????? PTSD????

[TexasDem69]

6. That's not really what he said

He thinks he won in 2016 and 2020 so if elected in 2024 it would be his “third” term.

[sop]

8. I'm floating a twenty-year prison term when he's convicted.

[smb]

33. Exactly

[rsdsharp]

9. Trump can't count. FDR was President for 12 years, 1 month and 8 days.

That’s not “almost 16 years.”

[Bucky]

12. Oh no, Trump gets facts wrong!

He's taking his delusions and projecting them onto his psychotic worldview. Around here we call that Monday

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Well, he didn't listen to the Nixonian Presidential Records Act,

Why would he abide by FDR's term policy?

[MFM008]

11. Hes a floater alright

[idahoblue]

13. What I heard is

He wonders if he is elected will it be his second or third term. Which means if he thinks he is doing a second term now, he is ineligible to run. No third term. Better, no second term.

[CaptainTruth]

14. He can serve multiple terms in jail.

[Attilatheblond]

15. Poor Smelvis is afraid that his flunkies in state legislatures and county government stealing the election for him

won't save him if he manages to stay alive beyond a full 4 year term. He is terrified he might not die in office (stolen for him by his GOP ass kissers) and might then still face prison.

Those who worked for him and now warn us about him know he won't ever leave office peacefully. He knows his personal freedom depends on him staying in office after his new attempts to steal the WH. Former aids warned us he won't leave if allowed back in.

[twodogsbarking]

16. I don't think Biden wants to serve three terms.

[yellowcanine]

18. If Trump is eligible so is Obama!

[Stuart G]

20. K and R (no text)

[Rebl2]

21. You will

be long dead trump before 3 terms end.

[IronLionZion]

22. His dumbest supporters think he's president right now

so he's already term limited from running this year.

[LudwigPastorius]

23. I'm OK with two terms.

...as long as they 20 years each, consecutive, and served in Supermax.

[patphil]

24. I guess the 22nd Amendment doesn't apply to him.

Personally, if he's so adamant on a 3 term presidency, then why don't we have President Obama run again?
I mean if he's ready to ditch the 22nd amendment then it's works for anyone who was elected 2 times and is available to run again.

[DFW]

30. Maybe Trump thinks Alito and Thomas can repeal the 22nd Amendment all by themselves

No one has accused him of being in close touch with reality for a while, now.

[oldsoftie]

25. The hard core cultists believe he is STILL president & Biden is just "there"

They point to all kinds of BS as "proof' of this nonsense. The time of the inauguration, the number of cannons used, the uniforms, etc etc. NONE of which has to do with legality.
But Trump knows this and he's playing to that crowd

[TBF]

26. Well, the average life expectancy for a person with Alzheimer's disease

is 5.8 years after diagnosis so I'm not sure as to why Trump is concerned about this.

[sakabatou]

27. So how many Repukes in Congress are fine with this?

[intrepidity]

28. Pretty soon it will be "You know, a lot of people are saying..."

SOP for that rat-bastard, start saying some nonsense, then people talk about the nonsense, then he gets to claim that everyone is saying it.

[Wednesdays]

29. Ain't gonna happen...not in this lifetime

Not unless TSF just suspends the Constitution.

Otherwise, it'll take 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states to ratify such a move. And right now 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states can't even agree on what's for lunch.

[William769]

31. I'm hoping he gets a 3-term consecutive life sentences for all he has done to this Country.

I think I have a better chance at what I want to what he's floating.

I put him at having two terms at 0 percent.

[geardaddy]

32. And all those idiots who scream, "Term Limits!"

will say what?

[Blue Idaho]

34. Why stop at three

You seditious fucker.

[roamer65]

36. Secession movements begin the moment after his Electoral College theft is announced on media.

California is going to lead the way.

You can’t serve 3 terms of a presidency of a federal government that doesn’t exist.
