Trump being cryptic in discussing a "third term".

He knows, his WH staff knows, his attorneys know that the Constitution won't allow him to run for a third term.

But if he doesn't leave January 20, 2029, there is no third term, just an extension of his second term -- indefinitely.

He also knows that he can't implement all the proposals in Project 2025, take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal, and loot the Treasury in 45+ more months. Not enough time. Even with Elon's $$$$.

So, either it's political rhetoric, something for FOX News, or he's not going anywhere.

into submission as far as he can and then defy anyone left standing to try and stop him.

Trump is quoted to have said, "Fuck the law. I don't give a fuck about the law. I want my fucking money." He made a business career of flouting the law. For Trump, the law is whatever he can get away with.

He planned to not count that term from the beginning.

No one will stop him from doing what he wants to do.
