What's too bad is that he hasn't choked to death on daddy putin's cock yet despite numerous attempts.

Kinda hard to choke on something the size of a paper clip
We almost lost W to a pretzel. It can happen.
#PatriotPretzel
I think the author has misunderstood what the phrase “it’s too bad” means when Trump says it.
“It’s too bad it isn’t me who owns that building” always meant he was going to do whatever it took to own the building, for example. It’s how he expresses his desire to have something at any cost.
The author heard a mob guy say "nice news outlet you have, shame if something happened to it" and took it as literal concern.
My little sister used to say "too bad I can't" as a way of asking permission
He won't make it through this term, maybe not even a year from now. His mental and physical health are deteriorating really fast.
Don’t give me hope.
I have two bottles of champagne ready to go. 🍾
Vance might be worse then Trump...
On the one hand, Vance lacks the cult appeal, so should lose a fair election in 2028. On the other hand, we might not have a fair election in 2028.
There needs to be a certain level of backing to subvert a whole election like that. Vance doesn't have it.
I do think it's hard to say if Trump will make it to the next election or not. I don't think he'll make it a decade, but even with obvious mental decline, he might make it to 2028.
Vance doesn't have nearly the amount of support or trust he needs. He's sucked Trumps coat tails for far too long and every failing of this admin is being reflected onto him as much as Mango Mussolini.
It's not about support. It's about the folks pulling the strings. If the architects and funders of project 2025 think that Vance (or Cruz, or MTG) is the puppet they want, then that's what we'll get.
No, that's not how it works at all.
MAGA is a cult of personality. All the folks "pulling strings" have to keep them together. They can't. They aren't the personality at the center of the cult. There are already significant fractures in MAGA, and without Trump being a focus point, they tear each other apart.
Real support matters. People "pulling strings" aren't magical.
At this point it's a crapshoot.
No, it's a hint to his toadies to try harder.
This man loves the US so much. That is why he is the son of an illegal. Married an illegal. And has no respect for the constitution or the laws of the US. It’s just love. Y’all don’t get it.
He doesn’t even understand the basics of the Constitution.
"it's too bad I can't run for a third term (I make a lot of money running) but it's ok, I just won't ever end my second term!"
I think the plan is that he runs as Vance's VP and then Vance steps down on day one. I don't know if that is Constitutional. Can Trump appear on the ballot as VP? I should think not.
EDIT: Apparently, it's possible, but unlikely. https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/
Probably it will come down to a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, and it's not perfectly clear how they would rule.
Regardless, Trump will die sooner than later, so who is the GOP lining up as his successor, no matter whatever else happens? Who's next on deck for the GOP? Vance?
The 22nd amendment, which limits the president to two terms, also applies a restriction to a two-term president running as someone else's vice president.
The next option would be to have Trump be appointed as speaker of the house, which does not have any eligibility guidelines at all (like you don't even need to be an elected official first), and then have both the president and vice president abdicate.
But with all of the checks on power basically removed from the position, Trump would have to somehow find two sycophants who are both electable and would be willing to surrender absolute power just to give a sundowning octogenerian a third term.
Or, easier method. He runs. Democrats sue saying he clearly can't have a third term. SCOTUS declines to take the case because the constitution says he can run, he just can't be elected.
States wait for each other to take him off the ballot, since elections are state run and eventually none of them do because they waited too long and they are super-duper sure he won't win this time.
He wins, Sued again, SCOTUS declines to take the case because he's a sitting president and who are they to mingle in elections "we can't set a precedent of stealing elections from the people's choice" or something of that nature.
Opposition falls in line because, yet again, the majority of Americans decided he and the GOP were the best choice and they'll lose if they fight back. But really, if he wins a third term, GOP owns Congress and there's not a damn thing you can do about it anyway.
Boom, third term for Trump
Basically, laws are only good if they're enforced. Otherwise they're just words on paper.
Yeah, I'm tired of the "x law says he can't legally do y action, so we don't need to worry about it" discourse that the media keeps amplifying. The executive branch is in charge of enforcement, and he's made it clear to congress that he has sole control of the branch, and he's wielded that power to break so many laws already.
It's not like there's some constitutional overlord that steps down from heaven to put him in jail if he tries to run again.
Se can call one Romulus and the other Augustus, if it's not too on the nose
A few days ago someone laid down about 5 strategies, such as the one you say above, which might allow a '3rd term'. I wouldn't put it past them.
Obviously hes not getting a third term. Republicans dont generally want that. Its only the diehard maga group that thinks a 3rd term is a good idea, and its not, Obviously.
