He actually doesn't need to change that much in the constitution. They only need to add 1 word to change the 2 term mandate to a 2 term consecutive mandate, if they added the word consecutive to the 2 term mandate, then he can stand for re-election.
Do you know what they need to change the US Constitution? It doesn’t matter if it’s one word or fifty, the processes are the same.

You boys are all getting triggered 4 years early . It’s going to be a loooooooong 4 years of being TDS.

Says he who follows and comments on my every post. Even when they’re not directed at him. ;)

Yeah I know what they need to change it, but that would be seen as a relatively small change. It wouldn't affect too many presidencies as quite a lot go to 2 direct terms anyway. Whether they could get enough democratic support for it, I doubt, but I wouldn't put it past him to try.

A change is still a change. It doesn’t matter the size.
The 22nd Amendment states.

Section 1. 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
Two terms, it doesn’t need to be consecutive.

One of he processes is it needs 2/3rds of both Houses. Good luck getting that through.
Well I’d never say he mightn’t ever try. But the odds to effect a change to the Constitution are about the same as me becoming Minister of Climate Change in Australia :LOL:

So I doubt he’d even bother changing the Constitution.

Why would he bother to try to?
He’s supposed to be a dictator, or a fascist or Hitler reincarnated. According to some nuffies he doesn’t nominate SCOTUS candidates to be affirmed by the Seante Judiciary Committees, he just appoints them.

So maybe his plan is just to appoint himself. Or toss out the Constitution and write his own version. Or maybe because he tells lies all the time, he was lying about it just to suck a few not so bright people in :LOL:

Trump has control of both houses for the next 2 years. He has total control of the GOP. He will attempt to change the 22nd amendment and he will try to run for president for another term.

It may not happen, but he will try. And if/when he fails, he will still fight it. He will not leave the Whitehouse quietly in January 2029.

Bookmark my post and come back to me in 3 years.

In fact, I will keep the link for page #1272 in my work calendar and revisit in 2-3 years time.

Serious question, what do you think Trump means by this?

He hasn’t got 2/3rds of either House. He has a majority but that’s not the 2/3rds he needs

Nonsense.He won’t be a candidate he’ll be 83 or thereabouts. The GOP won’t make the same misteake the Dems did.
They’ll alread6 have a succession plan in place.

Good on you. I’ve got better things to do with my bookmarks.

Now I know all the little anti Trumpies will be fighting to get a reply in to this. They’ll be pushing grandmothers and small children out of the way in their eagerness.
Just you watch, the usual stalkers will be here. :rotfl1

As was already explained many times, obviously you missed it or it didn’t sink in. But it was from about 5 or 6 months ago
That clip was from a Christian event, Turning Point Action, the whole meeting was to urge the Christian lobby to go and vote. The voters to give the Dems the flick.
Once voted in, American Christians would know what a big difference the GOP representatives made in their lives.
“It will all be fixed” they wouldn’t need the same Christian voter turnout because everyone would be voting for the next GOP candidate.

That’s how Trump and his campaign explained it. No doubt you and others will disagree. That’s why you posted it. A bit late to the party seeing it was already spoken about months ago on here and elsewhere.

What he says, what he means, It’s not my opinion as I know the next election people will need to vote for whatever candidate they want. Trump won’t be there, so it doesn’t matter what he says now. Unless you’re into conspiracy theories, get on info wars, or the dark web. ;) Which I don’t

I have a family member who sells blind fabric out of China to a US supplier of blinds/curtains. His US customer has been advised that there will be a 60% tarrif imposed on the product.

What that means for the Trump challenged thinkers is if he wants to contnue to import the product from China 'they, the US owned company" as the purchaser will need to pay the tarrif.

The reality is he will not be able to coninue to sell this product unless he puts his price up accordingly.

Assuming his RM are around 50% of his cost, adding 60% to that makes it 80% of his cost. To maintain his gross $ margin his sell price will need to rise by 30%. What consumer will bear that?

Will labour costs rise with ???000's workers being deported? Do they have the capacity to fill that void - this has to create upward pressure on wages.

And it looks like this will happen with everything coming from China. Do existing manufacturers of like products in the US have the ability to scale up? Is someone going to invest multiple millions in new manufacturing plant on the basis of a potentially short window? Will the US gov't offer massive incentives to setup new plants?

How can you possibly wind back globalisation?

The only inputs I can see decreasing are energy costs (how quickly though?) with the drilling for oil/gas forecast increase. But they are not making up such a large % of the costs of production in most cases.

Trumps policies surely will see inflation rise significantly, increasing cost of living pressures? Will they be offset by wage rises and/or tax cuts?

And I assume the impact would be felt here with a decrease in demand for iron ore from China particularly as their production reduces?
Logic. Got no place in this discussion
