Stop listening to his words and report what’s actually happening, news media
He’s the president of the most powerful country on earth. When his words are “I’m seeking a dictatorship” they are news.
he did literally get elected on the promise of being a dictator
Got elected with a promise of being a dictator on the side. Not on the promise of being it. He got elected on the promise of abusing immigrants.
Exactly. Our media is absolutely spineless.
It should be breaking news, the US has fallen to authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, etc.
They are not reporting the news accurately. But then again, the media currently serves the billionaire class.
This is one of those things were it is important to report on what he’s saying tho.
Newspapers say they report fairly on all topics. Critics say otherwise.
Some people say the newspapers report everything perfectly fine. Not everyone agrees. Here’s what we think.
I got a million of these.
arrest this traitor for going against the constitution
I understand one tactic is for him to serve as VP under someone else who promises to resign to allow Trump to serve again but he keeps saying there’s also other options.
WHAT OTHER OPTIONS IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
Just not holding elections due to some sort of national emergency is a tried and true method.
Trump is inelagable to be president after their second term, the line of succession would jump to Johnson.
Never been tested in court tho so I’m sure it’d get by. But at that point why even care about the rules?

According to the 12th amendment, “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
This seems pretty plain to me: if you can’t serve as president, you also can’t serve as vice president. Of course, this has never been tested in court…
Dude looks like grim death now. They’ll already have to Weekend at Bernie’s him from 2026-2028.
Even if old age gets him, Vance becomes the acting president, and he’s every bit as evil while not being quite as senile. I highly doubt the MAGA cult is going to die alongside Trump.
Cults rarely survive a leader transition, especially ones based so fully around an individual rather than specific ideals. The cult will die, and the support will fracture, the underlying issues with the Republican party that allowed it will still be there.
Agreed. And it is not necessarily good news - this might turn into chaos quickly.
The Democratic party of today will think it’s won and do fucking nothing for us.
I feel like this needs to end with a new constitution or we just punt the issue a few decades while still allowing all the insane shit of today.
There were early rumblings of making it a Trump Dynasty, which would be easier than transitioning to Vance (in the event of a third term, where they probably will run on a false ticket of Trump/Trump).
Trump chose the most feckless, least charismatic person ever as VP specifically so he wouldn’t show him up. He’s evil, all right, but no way he’ll be able to inherit Trump’s cult.
IDK they seem pretty darn unable to agree on anything besides how much they all love Trump. There’s no Republican politician who is anywhere close to his equal. There is no obvious successor. Seems like a strong possibility of a power vacuum when he dies.
Vance doesn’t have the support of the personality cult.
It’s easy. Just refuse to leave and nobody will do shit about it except complain, as always.

This isn’t a boring dystopia thing. It’s many things, but it’s certainly not boring ):
The boring bit is that I’m not the least bit surprised that he said that. other aspects of this dystopian timeline are certainly less boring.
He’s been saying this for months at this point, and it was part of Project 2025, which he seems to be following like a computer runs code.
Did they ask him why? I know he’s wanting it, I want to know his justification for it.
Immunity from crimes. Always has been. Although the lust for power is bigly too.
Immunity from crimes. Always has been.
Is he ready to say that quiet part out loud though? Actually nvm, he did. He just calls it “injustice”
That would take an amendment to the Constitution, which requires 2/3 of states to ratify. He has a better chance of taking it by force than by law.
Trump isn’t supposed to be able to assume office according to the constitution being an insurrectionist and all. The document doesn’t say a damn thing about total presidential immunity.
The constitution is meaningless.
That would only apply had our court system not failed us in convicting him before the election.
It’s not even a court anymore, it’s a bootlicker parade in wacky dresses.
Sometimes. It depends on the judge, which is a problem in itself, being that the law is not partisan. Boasberg has been working insanely hard to uphold the Constitution in his court. We should recognize the ones that put their duty above money or loyalty, and replace the rest.
I said the same thing, but it turns out there is a weasely way around it. The 22nd amendment doesn’t actually say you can only be president for two terms. The text actually says:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,
There is an exception for wartime… FuckNevermind. I checked and that was false.Some guy pitched it as “Vance runs with Asshole as VP, wins then resigns. Asshole is prez again.” Of course this requires Vance not having ambitions of his own.
Except he’d have to be Speaker of the House not VP. He can’t be VP after this term according to the Constitution.
Because of cause he would say that eventually. A boring dystopia indeed.
