Well, he is correct. He is allowed to run. He just can’t get elected.
It’s a distraction from the Epstein files
Cool, then Obama needs to run too.
Obama respects US law. He would never do that
Yes, he respects it so much he outbombed George Bush and managed to deport more people than Trump.
But looks nice, so that’s cool.
Signed off on the expansion of the patriot act. Gaslighted cannabis legalization. Didn’t create a UHS. Insurance companies cried crocodile tears but profits went up. I voted for that. It’s like watching WWE and thinking it’s real.
And a surprisingly (depressingly) large number of law and order preaching conservatives are supportive of him doing it, despite him not being allowed to do that literally being written into the highest legal document in the country.
Laws aren’t important to MAGA
Pieces of paper are just pieces of paper if it’s not enforced.
And lucky us, laws are only enforced against us, not for us. In reality, for the average person, the law kind of doesn’t matter anymore. It’s been hijacked as a useful tool for neo-fascist oligarchs.
In the third term, he’s gonna lower the price of gas and groceries & end the wars in Ukraine/Iran. Day 1. Bigly.
The funniest part is he could do 2 of those very literally right now by just…stop attacking Iran.
if he can run so can obama.
That’s not how it works. The law applies to Democrats, not to the Ruling Party.
Obama has absolutely no interest in this shit show. That’s half the joke of the current state of the Presidency. You need to either be a grifter, a soulless climber, or a senile coot to pursue the job at this point.
Bonus points for all three?
Certainly doesn’t hurt
How much of this is him legitimately meaning it? And how much is it to shore up the willingness of cronies to break the law.
Like, if he’s not going to be there in 3 years to pardon and protect them from prosecution, then them breaking the law for him is very personally risky. He might be more concerned about the short term willingness of his underlings to keep sticking their necks out.
Run Obama against his dumbass. He’s good at cleaning up republican messes
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
Those are the exact words of the 22nd amendment. It’s explicit. There’s no ambiguity or room for other interpretations. Trump was elected twice, he’s hit his limit, that’s it.
Conservatives don’t give a shit about “laws” or the constitution
Unless somebody stops him, he’ll do it. All the people that are supposed to check or balance his power are his minions.
There is wiggle room in some amendments but this one seems pretty fucking clear.
Im sure he could make a convincing argument that he isnt a person and therefore should be allowed to sit for a third term.
No person
Ah that’ll be where he’s trying to get in again then I assume, cause he’s not a person, he’s a monster
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
This is why is fun to own a whole ass supreme court:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
Words are fun for this guy
Trump appointed president for his 3rd term
It doesn’t matter what it says when neither courts nor law enforcement will enforce it. Looks like we’re running out of democracy boxes.
There’s still one more box after November’s election.
Therefore, by his own logic, he shouldn’t be in office right now, because he won in 2020, riiiight?
Yes, and none of that prohibits him from running for office again. The only prohibition is that he cannot be elected a third time. But here’s the thing: we don’t actually vote for President; we vote for who our Electors elect as President, and they are Constitutionally prohibited from electing Trump to a third term. If Trump runs and “wins”, the Electors cannot elect him. He can win 0 Electoral votes. Doesn’t matter what their States’ laws require because the Constitution is the highest law in the land… until SCOTUS rules the 22nd Amendment violates the 10th Amendment. 🤷🏻♂️
You forget that he stacked the deck
There’s wiggle room, he’s claiming a right to campaign. To run… He’s not saying anything about being elected.
He doesn’t actually do the electing. That’s up to public, and the officials who are in charge of elections (who he’ll try to stack with loyalists). He can’t say what they’ll do.
He runs, and if others elect him… Well… That’s the wiggle room.
That’s not wiggle room, it’s violating the Constitution. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s not like that’s a logic loophole, it’s just not caring about acting illegally.
The Constitution specifically doesn’t call out Trump so…
/s
Arrest. Charge. Try. Convict. Execute.
Him and everyone who propped up that sack of shit.
Can we just skip to the end? We all know the results of the middle steps.
Skip to the end.
Who’s going to do the first step though? The police? The police that are bought and paid for by the people that should be arrested? The police that are actively murdering people in the streets instead of defending them?
I keep seeing this “arrest them” and “put them in jail for life” sentiment but nobody has a valid argument of how to do that in our current system without getting disappeared.
Cool. How about those Epstein files?
I feel they will amuse and placate him up to the point where Congres has to vote on it and then, as it is the end of his term, they can turn on him with little fear of retribution
If there’s still a Constitution by then.
Narrator: There wouldn’t be.
You meant the current constitution his whore Natalie wipes his disgusting orange ass with?

He can also bend over and shove his head up his…
While reality again invokes claim he has the ‘right’ to remain silent because anything he says can and will be used against him in a federal court of law. He has the right to a dipshit attorney, but if he cannot afford one or if all of them refuse to represent a despot, one democratic one will be appointed to him to make sure he goes to federal prison.
