We know what's going to happen next.

This year Trump is going to either suspend elections, or more likely, send thousands of ICE troops to interfere with voting in cities in purple states. Swing a few statewide elections his way.

In a couple years, assuming he's not dead, his stolen Senate and the cowardly bootlickers in congress will attempt to create legislative cover for this "third term". They don't have the juice to repeal a constitutional amendment but it won't matter. They'll play act at legislating to give Fox News some sound bites and tell everybody Trump deserves a third term because he's the biggest, bestest good boy in the whole world.

The only remaining question is if everyday Americans have enough sense and strength to stop them. Impressed as I am by some of the folks out there now... I doubt it.

He's definitely laying the groundwork for stopping the elections, though I don't think he'll succeed (but sadly he may). However, I believe we'll have economic collapse before he has a chance to run for a third term, and it may come as early as this fall.

In the past, this alone probably would have been enough to impeach…. What an incredible country we have now. What does Schumer have to say on this?

‘We’re working to get to the bottom of this and with increased police cooperation we can come to a resolution that will please the GOP enough they will glaze my face’?

If he's so certain about those "achievements", why is he so afraid of letting the people judge him for them?

Deep down inside, narcissists are aware of their ineptitude.

Yeah, he said that and all, but Obama wore a tan suit and THAT'S unforgivable.

There will be no midterms. Maybe you disagree. Ask yourself, though: Can you say with certainty that this administration won't cancel the midterm elections? A lot can happen in ten months.
