It is almost quaint that the discussion around a third term for Emperor Tangerine is focused on him "running" for it... [View all]
...when there is clearly a different plan.
Everyone knows that since the four terms of FDR the presidency has been term-limited to two. It is not something new or novel or recently discovered by anyone. The talk of running is a distraction--like everything involving Epstein.
In August, the Wizard of Ooze met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office and said: “During the war, you can't have elections? So let me just see, three and a half years from now, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? That's good."
It really seems like everything in the second term has been tailored to lead in this direction: the extensive use of "emergency powers" in the face of no discernable emergency; the deployment of troops; the extra-judicial killing of foreigners in international waters; the extra-governmental construction of a ridiculously overpriced "ballroom" where the White House bunker once stood; positioning to take Venezuela's oil; the renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War; etc.
The plan is not to run for a third term; it is to suspend elections because we are at war--the details of which will be determined based on all of the disruptions of unhinged tariff and foreign policy.
For the media or anyone else to frame anything in this era of The MAGA King in the terms of how anyone did anything in the past--including the adherence to Constitutional norms--is laughably naïve. But he does have a tendency to tell us what he is going to do--if we listen....
