If you don’t read Politico, well, I don’t blame you. On the other hand, it is an interesting insight into the internal agita of the Lefty Elitists. President Donald Trump’s latest Inauguration has ramped up their fear and loathing to eleven. Prime example: “How Trump Could Snatch a Third Term — Despite the 22nd Amendment”. The sub-Lede: “Four ways Trump could stay in power beyond 2028”. I would feel bad for them, but the mental midgets don’t deserve my concern.

I love Trump as President. He occasionally gives me heartburn, but that’s different than the pain of watching my country destroyed. On the other hand, three terms, no thank you very much. Representative Andy Ogles, from Southwest of Nashville, Tennessee, did put forward a resolution to grant Trump another term, but, as much as we love Trump, Congress and the States would never go for it. We don’t need another Trump term. If case you haven’t noticed, Trump has been filling the pipeline with Constitution-loving youngish folk. Our future on the Rightside is on the Brightside. Think Ron DeSantis, J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. We are overflowing with our talent stream and each person is substantial.

SO, WHY DOES POLITICO HAVE ITS FRILLY UNDERTHINGS IN A WAD? From the article:

“I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear…”

It’s the stuff of liberal nightmares and MAGA dreams: a third Trump term.

But it can’t happen, right? After all, the Constitution imposes an explicit two-term limit on the presidency — even if those two terms, like Trump’s, are non-consecutive. “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” the 22nd Amendment mandates.

Even Trump, notorious for bending norms and breaking laws, couldn’t possibly circumvent that clear constitutional stricture, right?

Don’t be so sure.

Around the globe, when rulers consolidate power through a cult of personality, they do not tend to surrender it willingly, even in the face of constitutional limits. And Trump, of course, already has a track record of trying to remain in office beyond his lawful tenure.

Hold on there, Baba Louie. There are those of us who do not believe that the 2020 Presidential Election was straight up. And, Trump left. The hand over was wrong but peaceful.

TRUMP BAITS THE LEFT ABOUT A THIRD TERM ALL THE TIME. It’s true. More from the article:

In August 2020, he told supporters: “We are going to win four more years. And then after that, we’ll go for another four years.”

In May 2024, he again mused about a three-term presidency.

On Nov. 13, 2024, a week after winning his second term, he told House Republicans: “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out.’”

And just last weekend, he said: “It will be the greatest honor of my life to serve not once but twice — or three or four times,” before quickly adding, “Nah, it will be to serve twice.”

Perhaps it’s all just a big joke to Trump. Perhaps he’s baiting the media. But the fact that he keeps talking about it shows that it’s on his mind. It’s time to take the prospect literally — and seriously.

The poor Lefty Littlebrains are too easy to gig. Too easy. Trump’s ego is so ginormous that seeing his proteges take over the levers of power would rock his world.

THE LEFT ENJOYS THE FEAR AND LOATHING THEY FEEL FROM IMAGINING A TRUMP THIRD TERM.

Changing, sidestepping and ignoring The Constitution are all ways the Left believe that Trump could get a third term. My favorite way, per Politico is that Trump could just defy The Constitution:

There is one final way Trump could try to hold onto power. This last option would not involve amending the Constitution. It would not require a deal with a running mate willing to hand the presidency back to Trump using a technicality. It would not even require Trump to go through the trouble of running again.

He could simply refuse to leave office.

PARDON MY SKEPTICISM.

Each and every person at Politico would have voted for a third term for Barack Obama. And Obama didn’t fill the leadership pipeline. He left us with Biden and Hillary. A good leader would never leave the pipeline empty. A good leader makes sure that contingency plans have contingency plans. Plus, Barack Obama didn’t really leave did he?

Trump will be gone from office in four years, with strong leaders left to carry on, but he’ll still be living rent-free in the Left’s heads. The best legacy.
