Donald Trump "Flirts with" a Third Term. PBS in a Tizzy

[Seymour Flops]

Lots to deconstruct in this clip. But I was especially struck by Tamara Keith claiming that "the second he admits . . . that he is not going to be in office in 2028 . . . then he becomes a lame duck. If he loses his shine, he loses his power."

First of all, Wham Tam, unless he dies, Trump will certainly be in office in 2028. His term runs from 2025-2028 and ends in January 2029. His 2nd term, anyway.

Second, a "lame duck" is a president who lost his re-election bid but still serves between first Wednesday in November, and the next prez' inauguration day. It is absurd to say Donald Trump will lose his power if he is not going to be re-elected in 2028, because no one but you and the other morons on that set think it is a real possibility.

Third, Trump's power does not stem from his official title, but from his ability to get things done while holding - or not holding - that title. He will be a big factor in who becomes the next GOP nominee, and thus the next president. That president will be beholden to Trump and will seek and follow his advice.

PS: I looked at her wiki page to see her credentials. Very slim. An MA in Journalism from UC Berkely, and nothing else to speak of. Graduated High School early and finished her BA in three years. After than, nothing.

I was shocked to see that she was born in 1979, she's 17 years younger than I. I'm 63, and if we were sitting together, people would guess that she was my mother-in-law.

By Allah! The drug scene at Berkely must have taken its toll.

Oh, wait. Watching further, I have to give her props for one thing. She said of Trump, "Is he joking . . . as he sometimes is . . ." (2:43) Okay, she's not the brightest bulb, but understanding that puts her a head above nearly every Democrat and "not democrat" on this forum.

Trump doesn't want another term but he does want a MAGA replacement...

Yep.

Later in the clip, the dyke says that Trump said something the effect that "Vance may run against Rubio, so we'll see."

I could see Trump telling them, "you are great, really great, both of you. But I'll let the voters decide who is the greater of the two. The other can be VP and then president next."

I had thought Bondi had a good chance, but if Trump really said that, she may have to wait it out. Maybe be SecState for Vance/Rubio or Rubio/Vance.

Trump has no intention of running in 2028.

And PBS claims to be nonpartisan.

Poking the hysterians is one of President Trump's favorite hobbies. It's only fair, they all want him dead.

It's more than fair. You just know he gets a big kick out of it. And good for him.

He knows he lives rent free.

MSNBC is of course in a frenzy also.

PBS in a Tizzy​

PBS was born in a tizzy. Fuggem. Democrats are cracking under the strain of just not being in control--- they love to control others but how they hate themselves being controlled!

If Trump and Congress are really serious about a third term, all they need to do is win the midterms, then make some modification to existing law that would allow for an opening for Trump to legally run again.

After all, it would not be the first time in the nation's history the same guy has held more than two terms.
