In reply to the discussion: Trump won't rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News 'there are methods' for doing so [View all]Wiz Imp
(4,606 posts)44. There is absolutely ZERO chance he will try to run again.
It is clearly unconstitutional with no chance of being changed in a couple years. Why would he want to run again when he could lose? If he doesn't want to give up power, he will try to circumvent the constitution that way but it makes no sense to run again. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Now if you want to claim he will try to stay in office beyond 2028, then I will agree, but he will never go through another election.
Personally, I think there is a 95% chance he is dead by 2028.

Guess it's never occurred to him that if he managed to get that legalized somehow, he would be creamed by Obama.

Don't forget Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, etc. He doesn't drink and so far seems cogent (in relative terms).....

Trump may try the Executive Order route, after all he has directly challenged the 14th amendment, why not the 22nd

Him running as VP wouldn't work either. The VP has to be ready to assume the presidentcy
