President Trump on Monday joked that if Minnesota doesn’t vote for him, he won’t return when he runs for a third, fourth, fifth or sixth term.

“If I don’t win it this time, I’m not coming back. Never. Not for term three, four or five or six,” Trump joked to a crowd in Mankato, Minn.

I don't think he's joking...

[Santander]

Well, he is 74 years old, so I think 6 terms is a stretch.

He’s not joking. Trump just wants to see how Republicans react to him wanting more than two terms before he commits to it. He wants to make sure that they will continue to enable him and let him get away with it.

When an elected leader says that he wants to leave office in a coffin, he should instead leave it in handcuffs in very short order.

How long until Mike Pence presents Trump a crown publicly?

Maybe Trump is hoping that he'll win by 80%.

What about Hillary's emails!?

Trump never jokes. If he "wins" 2020 (ie steals it) American democracy is over. Mark my words.

* You see these cameras over there? These are terrible people. They're fake news! They don't understand jokes. They have no clue. Zero intellect! Imagine if Sleepy Joe said this? They wouldn't report at all, that I can tell you. Now that Trump is saying it, it's like the end of the world. Okay? And by the way, I have a lot of people coming to my office, suggesting additional terms. Because, you know, they stole our first term with the Mueller witch hunt. The late, great and never ending Mueller Hoax, which I won handily. It was the greatest scandal in the history of the United States. Probably the greatest scandal in the history of the world. So, these people, very respected people, great constitutional scholars, say Trump should do more terms. They just came out and suggested Trump should be allowed to run multiple times. And they suggested it very strongly. It was a very strong and powerful statement. Such a powerful statement, nobody ever expected. A lot of people were surprised by it. So, we're going to see what happens. It's certainly something we're looking into. It's what Roosevelt did, and nobody complained when he did. He ran for many terms, more terms than anybody. Many, many more terms than anybody. A lot of people don't know that, but it's true. So we're strongly looking into that, believe me. *

[Inmate Trump]

With every insinuation of more than two terms, he further degrades us as a country.


No one should take these insinuations (of which there have been several) as jokes.  No one should say he can't do it, because of the Constitution or any other reason.  Trump has proven time and time again that he can do whatever he wants and he will be forgiven by his voters and his enablers in Congress.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

He won't need to run for those terms because it implies we'd even have the motions of an election. Would be better for everyone if we could do away with those silly formalities.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yeah he wants to be protected from prosecution

The joke is the silence from all of the "Constitutionalists" who would go apesh*t if a Democrat made the same "joke."

[Joe Biden 2024]

If Obama had said it, chapter 3967

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The fact that you made a thread about this comment means that the joke was on you.

It all depends on whether the judge sentences him to concurrent or consecutive terms.

Red avatars, take a lesson from this guy. This is how snarky comedy is done. Suh - nap!

If only he ran for Governor of Illinois rather than POTUS.

[Saint Milei]

I hope he does. Trump forever!!!

[Progressive Pessimist]

Should we really have a President who "jokes" as much as Trump does? Save it for the Al Smith dinner!
