The president has suggested on multiple occasions that he could serve a third term in defiance of the U.S. Constitution since he returned to office less than a year and a half ago.
When I get out of office in, lets say, eight or nine years from now, Ill be able to use it, Ill be able to use it myself, Trump said during his remarks about tax deductions. If Trump were to stay in office another nine years, he would be 88 when finally leaving office.
As he took his latest dig at the Constitution, his supporters in the room laughed and cheered.

They ( "COGNITIVE TESTS" ) are hard. There are many people in this room that I know are smart, theyre not going to ace them, Trump rambled. You know the first question is very easy, and they always show the first question. Its you have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and awhats another good? a squirrel, okay. Which is the squirrel?

The fact that he can barely stand is routine now.

(14,493 posts)Because I am 79, a cognitive test was part of it. There were no identify an animal out of four questions. I had to subtract seven from 100 and again from that number, etc. I had to state a sentence that contained a verb and a noun. I had to re-create a drawing of two hexagons linked together. I had to repeat some tongue twisters. I had to fold a piece of paper and lay it on the floor. I had to give todays date including the year and also the town and state where I reside. Along with the town and state I did happen to add The United States of Trump. She smiled and groaned and said that my results were Gold.
