Rapist-level sense of entitlement.
If he's literally fucked without consent, what makes people think he wouldn't figuratively fuck the people collectively without it too?
He’s literally never seen accountability. The pedofile parasite class fails up
It's also one hell of a casus belli.

Long term effect of not seriously holding this man accountable for Jan 6. He thinks he is untouchable.
Until proven otherwise, he is.
And, unfortunately, he's correct.
Well, based on extended measurements: He is.
Republicans stopped any kind of accountability and are not firing him now. They can stop him at any second.
So, is our military going to need to step up to ensure a fair election next year, and also prevent Trump from taking office again? That is, assuming he, A) lives that long, and B) somehow pulls this off. Isn't that why they are required to swear an oath to the Constitution, and not the President? Does that actually hold any water?
Look, if the U.S. Military were going to uphold the Constitution he already wouldn’t be President anymore.
Eh. I mean he is clearly shitting all over norms, blatantly corrupt, most likely treasonous, and robbing the fucking treasury blind, but all of that stuff is Congress's responsibility to hold him accountable and draw lines and they have failed.
I don't know if you can point to any part of the constitution that he has clearly violated. But the two term limit is codified. The supreme clutter doesn't need to weigh in, the stupidest motherfucker in the country can do the math to see it's unconstitutional (they might not care, but they can see it).
If folks want to toss the constitution, great, they just tossed the basis of authority for the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Guess we get to writing a new one.
I hesitate to declare this is the line he won't be allowed to cross, because he's sailed over every other one. But I really think the entire system of government is shot if he does this. We would certainly be a failed state at that point, where right now we are kinda Schrödinger's Failed State. We may already be, but we'll have to measure it post Trump.
I mean he's clearly broken the first amendment more than a few times by ordering the government to pressure organizations over their right to free speech.
Also, constitutional problems with his deportation bullshit. Which he's been ordered not to do, and yet they're still doing it.

The military? Probably not...
But you might get a federal agency already cosplaying as a para-military group to overlook the election and make sure you're voting correctly. 👍

They’ve spent the last year removing opposition in the military

We should stop calling them "trump allies" and start calling them "trump axis."
He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor. I hear Epstein's cell is empty.
I used to advocate for a life terms for the top MAGAs. That was after the first term, the Insurrection, and the stolen classified documents. After this second term, capital punishment is on the table.
They should have quit while they were ahead.
Comments like this are what keep getting me banned on Reddit, but I'll keep saying it on every platform:
Pedophiles get the rope. Pedophile protectors can swing alongside them. Insurrectionists and traitors get the firing squad. ICE gets to bleed out slowly.

"Because Joe Biden cheated!"
"So what you're saying is you deserve a term to replace the one you lost in 2020?"
"Yes!"
To Trump: Technically you're NOT entitled to a third term, as you're inelligible to run for a third term. Sincerely, all Americans

He'll be dead by the end of the year. I'd be more worried about what ~~vance~~ Peter Thiel has planned.

Arm yourselves.
What odds are the bookies giving on hamberder clogged arteries winning before this term is up?
This guy gets a full body MRI (probably every year one or two). Judging by the timeline I would guess they started that as a response to Biden's prostate cancer.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Any significant medical condition they'll find months in advance. There's a reason why ultra-rich dipshits like Murdoch are seemingly indestructible.

That's why trump doesn't like alternative forms of energy. He needs gas for lighting.
this is what you get when you elect piss hitler. Next is annexation of greenland and after that likely ww3 if people continue to be apathetic.
European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it "just" defacto illegal/unconstitutional?
It’s the 22nd Amendment
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once
Pretty unambiguous.
Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious.. just refusing to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.
EDIT: extended rant

Entitled? So the narccisist of narccisists is now also the Karen of karens.
Only thing he is entitled to is a prison cell from which he cannot escape
Retroactively granting him the 2020 term, and in exchange terminating the current one would be a fine deal.
