Trump Mega Donor Publicly Offers Him Millions For An Unconstitutional Third Term

During a Hanukkah event on Tuesday in the White Houses East Room, a Trump megadonor encouraged the president to run for an unconstitutional third term, prompting others in the room to chant: Four more years!
We can do it. Think about it, said Miriam Adelson, an Israeli-American businesswoman and physician who Trump noted had donated $250 million to his campaign.
Adelson and Trump then hugged and briefly continued chatting.
She said, Think about it. I'll give you another 250, Trump told the crowd when he returned to the mic.

(21,808 posts)During much of 2024, my go-to line about what would happen to America if Trump won a second term was that he would "turn America into North Korea West."
And, we're there. It's a mix of that, Russia, and Saddam Hussein's fixation with turning his palaces into whorehouse nightmares of bad taste.
This would be a matter of "HEY, America...ready to throw away the last shred of your DEMOCRACY?"
And I do believe we WOULD have to get to the point where "push becomes shove," but I also believe America would do what was right.
And I really don't want to consider any other scenarios. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief that Trump got a second term.

(21,808 posts)We are officially in the "who's gonna stop us if we do" phase, and America's more concerned about who the Masked Singer is this week.
I place 100% of the blame on voters.
100%.
The ones who voted for Trump, and the ones who didn't care enough to get off of their ass and vote. They got us here.

(1,314 posts)The Constitution bars anyone from being elected to the presidency more than twice, but it doesn't make it a "crime". Many things are unlawful but aren't crimes. So one can't be "liable" for abetting a non-criminal, unlawful act.

(10,204 posts)That seems plausible, doesn't it?
Not now, of course, but once we have the numbers to do so, why not do that for anyone who dares to state such a thing?
Traitors are gonna traitor, so why not punish them for it?

(45,990 posts)Think about it: the current Supreme Court undoubtedly would find that it would be unconstitutional for Congress to ban assault weapons. Do you really think it would be a good if folks advocating for gun bans would lose their citizenship as a result?
I can think of many other examples.

(37,448 posts)Who said a third term wasnt even a gleam in the Turd Reichs eyes. (Actually, this would be a fourth term, because Krasnov maintains that 2020 wuz stollen! and he went ahead with a media shadow presidency 21 - 25 anyway.)
(Yes, I realize that this is a distraction from Jack Smith and Epstein! Epstein! Epstein!. The M$M is going to carry the water on it from now on for the pig, though. Like its real and possible.)
TheProle
(3,903 posts)He also ruled out running for the vice presidency in the 2028 US election.
"I'd be allowed to do that," Trump said, in an exchange with reporters aboard Air Force One.
But he added, "I wouldn't do that. I think it's too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it's too cute. I think the people wouldn't like that. It's too cute. It's not - it wouldn't be right."

I know, you are used to getting everything you want.
But, all your money will go to his pockets.
And, I really think he won't last this term.
But you can afford to burn a half a billion.
Stupid woman.

(21,808 posts)It really is the only thing that will ever shut him up.
If he DOESN'T TRY TO FORCE an unconstitutional 3rd term, he will do EXACTLY what he did when Biden was elected.
He won't shut his mouth for ONE DAY during the entire 4 year term of the next president.
And by then. his mental illness will make 2025 seem like the clear and lucid oratory of a learned statesman.

(59,746 posts)The text of the 22nd Amendment says: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"
It does NOT forbid anyone from running, it just forbids them from getting elected.
So if Ms. Adelson wants to toss $250 million into the campaign of someone who by law can never take office on January 20th, 2029, I guess she's welcome to do that.
If she REALLY wants to do the country some good, she can donate that amount instead to me, since I'd turn around and donate it all to various charities and food banks, as well as cancer research and clinics that specialize in cancer treatment (Mayo Clinic, Sloan Kettering, etc.). I'd suggest it to her, but I fear my chances of being heard are less than 50%--as in about 100% less than 50%!.
