Donald J. Trump has flipped that mass of hair on his noggin, gone ’round the bend, has become certifiably nuttier than a Snickers bar.
He says he is considering a way to seek a third term in the only office he’s ever sought or held. How does he do that? He ain’t saying. Other Trumpkins are concocting ways to skirt around the U.S. Constitution, which has that 22nd Amendment that bars anyone from being elected more than twice to the presidency.
Trump’s been elected twice, to this nation’s ever-lasting shame.
He says “there are ways which you could do it,” meaning he can find a way to get elected a third time as POTUS.
It won’t happen.
Not in this or any lifetime any sane person can envision.
As I said already, Trump isn’t sane. He’s nuts. Bonkers. He’s also an old man who might not live to the end of the current term. He’ll be 83 at the end of the current term. Cognition? Looks like it’s beginning to slip … but that’s just me thinking out loud.
The framers made it difficult to amend the Constitution. They didn’t write a perfect governing document, but they were right to set the bar very high for changing amendments added to it.
The 22nd Amendment is on the books for keeps.
