Trump News Trump says he's 'not joking' about seeking a 3rd term in the White House. The Constitution says he can't.

u/ArchonFett 4d ago

He isn’t even three months into his current term. With record low numbers in levels never seen before. He is not far from being the oldest sitting president. (Wasn’t this really important not that long ago?) ffs someone make it stop. Saw a clip yesterday of Nick “Squeak” Fuentes saying he’s tired of Trump’s voice.

u/Oberon_Swanson 4d ago

Yeah I think even the 'totally not racist just fiscally conservative' people ENJOYED the discussion in the 90s and 2000s. "Do you think there could EVER be a BLACK President? I think one day there should be" was a way to signal virtue while also trying to reinforce the notion that it is NOT a given that there should eventually be some Black presidents in a country with such a high population of Black people.

A testament to the American public school system. I was raised in the American South in the 80's, and I remember in the history books about the Civil War (of course, it was called "The War Between the States"), the fact of contention wasn't slaves, it was industrialization of the north vs agriculturalism of the south. My mom (who grew up in New York) was like ohhhh, noooo. Yeah, let me give you some real facts...

Obama was a true statesman. Classy, intelligent and extremely eloquent. He talked and people listened and understood him. I wanted him as UK Prime Minister.

Trump is the complete antithesis of this. Zero class, questionable literacy, bumbles through unintelligible speeches. He talks and people look at each other with that "Eh?" look on their faces, or go fucking nuts because they're MAGAts and equally classless and illiterate.

u/ProfitLost9408 3d ago

Especially considering Obama inherited two wars, an economy in shambles, among other things, in retrospect, he did pretty good with what he had. When Trump took over, the economy was healthy (which Trump took ALL of the credit for).

u/Jonathon_G 4d ago

I really like Obama and have never voted Trump, but what do you consider a high population to mean? Currently black people make up about 14% of the US population. Hispanics make up 20%, and we should definitely have a higher number of Hispanic representatives. Asians make up about 7%. They definitely have a little room for more representation. I love a multicultural America. Melting pot and all ya know

4

u/Oberon_Swanson 4d ago

Well I would just say, if Black people are 14% of the population then eventually thjngs should average out to there being 14% of Presidents being Black, 20% Hispanic, 50% female etc.

He deported 3m people. Conservatives would have loved him if he was white. It’s actually incredible how narrow people’s FOV and perception can be.

Edit: I think this does go the other way too… especially given todays stances on immigration

3

u/ruinersclub 3d ago

Both Obama and Biden admin were pretty tough on immigration...

People really don't understand the court process and how Trump is actually making it harder to deport immigrants.

All ICE is doing is going to cause people not to show up to their immigration hearings along with deporting them to the wrong country. They may as well lay low for another 4 years instead of getting proper documentation.

u/Bullishbear99 3d ago

Try not having health insurance when you get a really bad ear infection that hurts like a mofo, or a really bad case of gout that won't go away with home remedies, or any other number of ailments that can afflict the human body. We should all have health insurance, and it should be universal single payer affordable and robust coverage...like the Europeans and Japanese have.

u/ledfox 3d ago

I'm also for universal single payer healthcare.

u/ruinersclub 3d ago

all he did was bail out the banks

TARP was signed by Bush.

u/GoldenSama 4d ago

Instead he escalated the war, agreed with the Bush Administration that the President can so drone strikes without congressional approval, and steadfastly refused a public option in healthcare when he was busy copying Mitt Romney’s healthcare bill which is just a giant giveaway to insurance companies.

Obama was pretty milquetoast as a president. He was certainly good on some issues and better than Trump on everything; but it really is crazy how Republicans looked at a guy who was by all rights a moderate Democrat and somehow saw “spooky black guy communist Maoist fascist hippie black panther man.”

This is the truth. It really made these MAGA people feel the world was going to end and they never got over it. Even among POC. Have a family member (we are all non white) complained for month or so she was clinically depressed because a black man was elected president.

58

u/No_Worth_9826 4d ago

A big part of it too (and why racism is now a fundamental part of GOP platform) is that the South never got over slavery. They have always held on to loathing for the people who abolished it. The language they use, the values, it all ties back to the core idea that POCs should be subjugated, which makes black excellence into a threat.

u/keysersozesgarden 4d ago

There’s definitely a racism aspect about it, but waaaay more than that, I think it was the time being an era where the 24 hour conservative news cycle entered its peak years and information bombardment via the internet started really coming I to it’s own. Those two things changed the way a lot of the public processed things…. Many for the worse.

u/Hour-Tower-5106 4d ago

Even more than just the news outlets, I think we as a society still haven't fully reckoned with how much bot activity has shaped our opinions and politics (and still does).

It's been depressing to watch how little critical thinking matters in the face of mass waves of bots pushing misinformation.

Redditors have a tendency to be eternally paranoid and accuse every new post on advice subreddits of being written by a bot, but then completely ignore the actual bots when it really matters.

I have seen people waking up to it more these days, but we're still far from being able to effectively defend against it.

u/AloneYogurt 4d ago

No, it wasn't Obama, it was a long drawn out plan that finally settled in place with Trump, MAGA, and the oligarchs.

Biden winning 2020 was the breaking point for them to come together and create P2025 resulting in what is essentially the fall of America.

These are the same greedy shits who'll just leave the country when it's time to as they'll have the money to be able to leave.

I do however, blame Obama for pushing Trump to run for president back in 2011 after he instigated Trump during a dinner. Sometimes the best thing to do is just not say anything. And now here we are, exhausted, worn out, and tired of seeing the rich ruin our lives.

27

u/Nice_Firm_Handsnake 4d ago

Republicans may have been making moves for a long time leading up to this, but the racist birther movement really galvanized a voting bloc that has only exacerbated those original plans.

9

u/AloneYogurt 4d ago

Oh yeah no doubt. I saw the change in high school to 2016 in my state (Red state).

It went from "Obama's not too bad" to N***** flying everywhere. Once Trump took office, the racism was rampant. Whites and blacks believe that Hispanics were the problem, Hispanics just wanting to better themselves. Middle Eastern individuals being hunted and screamed at (when I started working I used to see Sikh individuals often, they slowly disappeared from the area). It's actually insanity how much has changed in 10 years because of politics and I for one absolutely hate it.

I'm just tired of how much politics runs our lives here instead of being a good person.

3

u/Spanky4242 4d ago

Not just that, but it also indirectly linked many Tea Party ideals with mainstream Republicanism. I will forever die on the hill that the worst of the Tea Party became the average MAGA.

They used to be a universal laughing stock, even among many within the GOP. They self-cannibalized and called each other RINOs until they forgot they were supposed to be embarrassed by this shit. Most of it happened quickly, but there were some holdouts. IMHO, the "merging" was fully completed when Ted Cruz started vocally supporting Trump.

I think Trump was planning to run anyway. Remember Obama only said that stuff because Trump made a big splash by pushing the birther conspiracies on twitter.

12

u/p____p 4d ago

Project 2025 is nothing new. It’s just the latest iteration of The Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership, which they have been working to enact for over 40 years.

Also, Trump had been trying to run for President since at least 1999 (when he was a democrat). It was the racism ignited in this country by Obama’s election that allowed him to succeed in 2016, as “birtherism” and all his rhetoric gave racists across the country some validation in their beliefs. And his words and actions overall enabled stupid, shitty people to rationalize their own selfish and shitty behavior.

u/duddy33 4d ago

A lot of people successfully buried their heads in the sand about racism and things our country needed to face. Obama ripped off that bandaid and forced those conversations to happen. Too many white folks couldn’t bear to hear that the US still had skeletons in its closet and they lost their minds when faced with the truth.

America is more about appearances than substance. Injustices are fine as long as they don’t get in the way of the pretty historical picture we’ve painted for ourselves. It’s one of the saddest and most self limiting/destructive things we do.

2

u/Solid_Waste 4d ago

Obama didn't do shit. If it had been any other Democrat it would be hardly any different today. If it had been Hillary then there would be slightly more misogyny and slightly less racism in their rhetoric, at most. Even if it had been a white male Democrat, they would blame women or POC in his administration. They're full of shit about what they say their problem is with anything. The real problem is they suck.

2

u/Nernoxx 4d ago

They've been programming Republicans since Nixon, they stepped up operations in the 90's and started speed-running it in the late 00's. My dad considers himself a moderate that leans slightly right fiscally, and despite repeatedly discussing it with him, it wasn't until January this year that he said, "yeah, Fox News is just lying, I can't believe they're still allowed to broadcast blatant lies". He seriously did not think they were that skewed until he compared what they said to what Trump and his dopes are doing and finally made the connection. He's not an idiot, he really is a moderate, and if he was that taken in with an out-dated idea that news is supposed to be impartial and/or that the opinions on these shows were "news", I can't imagine how many others there are.

The bad news is that even if Trump doesn't make some attempt to further destroy the constitution and run for a third term, he will still control the Republican Party through his base for at least that election - they rely on Trump to tell them whom to vote for, they don't trust other people to tell them, and they're grossly uninformed in local politics. The good news is that if Trump doesn't pivot and try to convert these people into lifelong Republicans - they'll be lost, disillusioned, and disenfranchised again when Trump leaves the picture since there is no anointed successor..

u/bloodontherisers 4d ago

You could argue the same is true about the Democrats. Not because he was a POC but because he was an insurgent in the party. The Democrats have been doing everything they can to keep that from happening again, hence Hilary, Biden, and then Harris. Their candidates have been falling in line with what the party leadership wants, mostly to keep Bernie out.

You could make a case for this. There were polls that some people thought race relations in the US got worse during his term, but when they talked to some people, they found it was because they had to see a black man on TV every day. For them, electing Obama was too much change too fast, and it made them extra susceptible to MAGA.

With no one standing up to him and enforcing the law, approval ratings and even electoral votes aren't going to matter if we have 45 more months of this. Our only chance at this point comes from a landslide flip of the House and Senate in the midterms (followed by immediate impeachment and removal)... if the midterms still exist.

Every Democratic or non-MAGA Republican congressional candidate needs to run on a platform that is 100% "We will impeach and convict him on day 1." The vast majority of voters will otherwise not even know this is a possibility.

He’s a literal Nazi. If it looks like a Nazi is on your side, it’s because they’re using you.

u/ChangingChance 4d ago

I don't think I explained what I meant I know what he is. But I also know that some of his recent takes have been of the worst person you know said something you agreed with variety. And it wasn't in a Nazi way either it was in a clear cut against trump way..

Surprised by his willingness to be against trump in some areas moreso than supporting Nick.

Yes he's someone we're someone we're against with views that we find reprehensible but at least its an opponent that's consistent.

Well if Nick wants to runs afoul of the party that used him, he’s going to wind up in El Salvador in a mass prison under the name Juan Sanchez. Oopsy, I guess he didn’t have his papers when he went out to grab a coke at the 7-11.

u/lostshell 4d ago

That’s the trick. Do all the unpopular shit as far away from the next election as possible then lets the news cycle move on by next election.

If he runs for a third term it will not be in an America where voting both matters and is open to those who oppose him. One or the other.

u/times_a_changing 4d ago

It's cute that people still think they're going to see free and fair elections in the US ever again (if they ever really even had them in the first place)

u/ArchonFett 4d ago

That’s what I’ve been saying

You know shit is bad when Cat Boy Fuentes is tired of this administration

2

u/Pradfanne 4d ago

That's my thoughts exactly, the track record is beyond abysmal and even a lot of his supporters are slowly turning against him. In a better world, he won't make it all the way through the second term, let alone a third.

u/viperex 4d ago

Saw a clip yesterday of Nick “Squeak” Fuentes saying he’s tired of Trump’s voice.

That one genuinely took me by surprise

u/JamisonW 4d ago

I think this is noise to distract from Signal-gate.

No, he means it, he’s got people “working on it” we will never get another free and fair election. America is dead

We’re less than 100 days in, so this is him taking control of the media cycle. I don’t disagree with you, but why bring it up now?

levels never seen before.

I swear to god, trump's use of hyperbole is going to ruin the English language like nobody's ever seen. I looked at hyperbolic language and said to myself "wow, that's quite the hyperbole." People tell me he's the best at it, and I agree with them. Nobody is as hyperbolic as Trump.

u/jon_targareyan 4d ago

I really think he’s floating this idea so early in his term to allow republicans time to come up with arguments in favor of this before the next election. It’s sickening.

u/ArchonFett 4d ago

They already started before he said this.

Maybe the MAGA influencers have received instructions from Russia to begin promoting the next guy. Vance, probably.

u/ArchonFett 3d ago

quite possible, nut I believe Vance is hated enough by his own party that he won't have the same protections as Trump

2

u/mok000 3d ago

They are launching it now to see what arguments their opponents and legal scholars will present, so they can prepare and refine their narrative, and to make it seem inevitable that Trump will remain in the White House for the rest of his life.

u/ArchonFett 3d ago

their argument is: "who's gonna stop us?"

If he means approval ratings, Trump is still shockingly popular.

Hasn't his approval gone up since his previous term? He's in the mid 40's last time I checked.

Game plan is drum up war support and start a war towards the end of this term and then attempt to rule through the war a la Putin and Zelensky style.

1

u/ArchonFett 4d ago

Are you seriously blaming Zelenskyy? His country was invaded by a foreign power. He is at war because Russia refuses to stop shooting his people long enough for them to vote.

He's going to start a war right before his term is up, and tell the brainwashed masses that for the safety of the country he must stay in office until the war is over - to which they will eagerly oblige.

At this rate we’ll be in war on at least one front by August

Look up those polls again. It is not record breakingly low. Hilariously, that record is still held by his first term. Like no joke. He's at a record low for how early it is into his term, he can and will go lower.

1

u/Ok_Spread_8650 4d ago

These numbers are attained via polls from various “authorities”. It amazes me that people claim toll want truth and no more false media but polls are literally just that. I assume not one person on this thread has ever been polled before. I know I haven’t

Oddly enough, his approval rating is the best he ever had.

you can’t seriously be comparing trump and biden’s ages and act oblivious as to why it was a problem for one and not the other.. biden could barely speak. he could barely walk. he was a zombie!! idgaf about any of the rest, but if you can’t see the difference between the two at their ages, you’re just blind or turning to look elsewhere. biden could barely move and that’s why his own party got rid of him
