Do they think he's joking now?
š¤Some people haven't learned yet...
You may have heard about Donald Trumpās latest in a long line of third-term musings.
He plainly said, āIām not jokingā when he talked about staying in office at the end of his current term. (Because heās of course been talking to āa lot of people who want me to do it.ā)
And still, some people think heās joking and playing some sort of four-dimensional chess game. Donāt they know by now that he talks about things and then tries to actually carry them out?!
Some people at the New York Times are even telling us that āthere are no apparent signs that he is actually laying groundwork for a third term.ā
Um, have they not seen his attacks on the judiciary? (Apparently, they havenāt heard the message from people who have lived through declining democracies in countries like Turkey and Hungary.)
You would think that after setting DOGE loose on the U.S. government, snatching people off the street for writing op-eds and destroying alliances built up over generations, people would believe the threats that Trump makes.
The ājokingā comments by the president and other right-wingers are a ruse.
There is no game of four-dimensional chess, only horrific attacks on our country and the world.
He won't last this term!
His idea that he would run for vice president and then the president would step aside after the election and he would then be president could only come from the mind of someone who has spent their life figuring out how to cheat at whatever game they are playing.
