Assuming he's elected again, do you truly think Donald Trump would run for a third term in 2028?

If a Dem beats his handpicked successor who will presumably get the nomination he'll 100% refuse to leave office and you'll get another J6 type event from his supporters, maybe worse this time. Short of a military coup he won't succeed, but I'd rather just elect anyone else and not go down that road at all. Not sure why anyone doubts this when the pattern of behavior is there.

No.

He will be cooked from politicis in 2028.

If his nonsense after the election last time, being a convicted felon, and his general buffoonery haven't "cooked" him by now what could possibly happen that would? 45% of the country is in a personality cult.

People here really need to touch some grass. Life isn’t a Star Wars movie. Trump isn’t Palpatine.

Yeah I know, he's Donald Trump and most the stuff being described here is completely within his established pattern of behavior.

Changing the constitution requires 2/3 of both chambers of congress and there’s no chance of the GOP having nearly that much in either chamber by 2028.

It's not so much about changing the coonstitution as it is about simply ignoring it. The US is heading towards right wing authoritarianism, make no mistake about it.

OK, how is he going to force his way onto every ballot in the country? Or win elections in swing states that are mostly controlled by Democrats?

If he ignores the constitution and uses his "constitutional powers" as commander in chief of the greatest military in history, he can do whatever he wants, just like every other fascist leader there ever was. Some of you people are acting like you've never heard of de facto dictators in sham pseudo-democracies before. Russia, for instance, is officially a democracy with a theoretically democratic constitution, in case you didn't know.

Right, like if the president wants to keep the entire country under military occupation and impose martial law he can 100% do that with this ruling because he's commander in chief. If the only defense is "that probably won't happen" then it's a bad ruling, the law should actively prevent things like that from happening, we shouldn't just have to hope no one tries it.
