Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.
Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”
“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.
Yes I lost my grandma to dementia, so I’m a bit offended at you confusing a speach impediment and old age with actual dementia.
I must have clinical dementia too at 35 from smoking to much weed. I forget shit all the time from some light ADD.
Anyway, reality called. You got Dementia Don as president. He’s half as lucid and 3 times as dangerous, and he’s sorrounded by incompetent Yes-men.
I’m done arguing with you. Bidens corpse would be a better president than Trump. Just down vote me and leave me alone.
I’m sorry for your loss. Mine isn’t gone yet, but it won’t be long.
But I wouldn’t vote for your grandmother either.
Nah i’m fine with capping office at 70-75. I think we also need to be more open and blunt when people have served enough. There needs to be succession plans and not just sit in seat and die.
Yeah, that sounds good to me. Although honestly I think more term limits can only improve things. Maybe just 1 term for everything max.
Think about AOC first term, very popular with her base. She got a lot of media attention because republicans hated her. Young hot smart and totally lefty. Couple terms in congress and she is reformed a bit in messaging. She understands procedure better, and she’s eligible for important roles in comittees. In this time she’s gained my support as a centrist.
I think this is what the party needs to be doing more. We bring in fresh blood, we help them grow as politicians and we don’t strangle their visions and constituents because we don’t agree with them. Let the people decide. But it takes time for AOC to gain my favor. It’s a trust thing, her words and her action, following her over 4-8 years makes you feel better about sending them back for 4 more.
After 20 years ya curb em, but some of the best politicians and policies are worth fostering and need leadership that can last multiple political cycles.
