    I’m wondering if Trump will be fit for public appearance in 2.5 more years. I mean, he’s not now, but soon enough I feel they’ll have to pull him from the public eye. Dementia comes with temper issues, he’ll be raging on camera, screaming about clouds, etc.

      he’ll be raging on camera, screaming about clouds, etc.

      as opposed to raging on camera, screaming about low flush toilets as he does now?

        Knew I’d get called on that! :)

        No, he’s not at the screeching incoherently stage yet. There were reports of him losing his shit in the first administration, and really losing it on Zelensky last visit, but he’s still keeping a lid on it in public.

      He is slipping pretty quickly. I’m kind of hoping in a few weeks he just crashes are starts really talking insane nonsense about gerbils and gnomes in his anus.

    An official Trump online store, according to ABC News, is now selling “Trump 2028” hats for $50. And some internet users, in response, are calling for former President Barack Obama to run in 2028 even though he already served two full terms.

    @ObamaFor2028, a new troll account on X.com, formerly Twitter, debuted on Thursday, April 24.

    I feel like stooping to their level is less mocking and more enabling because they don’t really gives a rat’s ass what we think.

      The issue is more that they wouldn’t see the irony and rage at you for daring to say Obama should get a 3rd term. It’s not stooping, it’s talking above them. Which has been shown to have zero effect on them.

    Remember at the start of his term when they said the limit is 2 consecutive terms? That disqualifies Obie.

      That’s maybe going to be the argument. First words of the amendment:

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice…

      Before this Trump bullshit, I thought the limit was 2 consecutive. Took me 10 seconds to look it up. But they’ll argue it anyway and the fascists won’t take those 10 seconds to check it.

      But this one wouldn’t be consecutive, which is just as strong an argument as the one for trump getting a third term
