Yesterday Politico headlined a speculative piece about ways Trump might succeed in having a third term as President. It quotes Trump as joking about the possibility.
Was he kidding or floating a trial balloon, who knows? He sometimes says outrageous things just for the fun of watching Dims’ heads explode.
It then lists the four ways this could come about, beginning with a new constitutional amendment. The most plausible of these is he could run as another Republican’s vice president with the public understanding that individual would resign and hand the job to Trump. There is precedent for such transparent trickery overseas.
I will make a prediction that, in 2028, Trump will not want to run for a third term. I know he seems like the Energizer™ bunny now, but his current pace would tire a much younger pol. The office wears its occupants down, even the younger ones age visibly over 4 years. He won’t want to risk the Joe Biden experience of losing it in office and looking foolish.
