My money is on him having a coronation. I can't see him leaving willingly. Assuming the elections won't be totally rigged to give him 99% of the vote.

He's not eligible to run for president for a third term, so he's not going to be on a presidential ballot. Maybe he'll get a handful of write-in votes, but that's about it. I suppose he could run for another office in Congress, or Governor or such, but I just don't see it.

He's not eligible to rape children either and yet here we are

This is adorably naïve. When has "the rules say" ever stopped that man from anything? When has it ever stopped the Republican Party?

Here's how it will happen if Trump survives and decides he wants another term:

  • The party will announce that he's the candidate.
  • The press will lose its mind, then bend over backward to have a debate about the issue once Fox and CBS point out that "well actually, the rule is for consecutive terms.
  • There will be protests, maybe a few people will die.
    • The victims will be branded "terrorists".
  • The Democrats will run some empty suit of a candidate (Harris, Newsom, Biden's corpse) that intends to change absolutely none of what Trump has wrought. They then demand that everyone vote for them to "save democracy ".
  • Trump wins handily again.

It’s not delusional to point out that people are trying to make it happen. What’s delusional is to shrug and say “it’s not a problem.”

on paper, yes. voting rights were on paper too. abortion was guaranteed on paper, even. they didnt even try to justify gutting them. can almost bet they'll try it on that as well
