You know he's not planning on leaving after 2028, right?

Someone who is now openly seeking to persecute his political opponents is not someone who is planning on relinquishing power democratically. Not even to someone of his own party if he or she is elected democratically.

He said he wanted to prosecute people who opposed him, and mentioned Comey by name. He did.

He said he wanted to get media figures who criticized him taken off the air, like Jimmy Kimmel. He did (at least temporarily.)

He said he would not accept the result of an election if it did not favor him. In 2020, he refused to accept his loss.

He told groups like the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" if he lost in 2020. They did.

So when he keeps on "joking" about wanting to be President past 2028, he's not joking. He literally has "Trump 2028" hats on display at the White House. And whether it's trying to push some bullshit claim that he's entitled to a 3rd term, or simply ignoring the transfer of power altogether, he doesn't have any designs on wanting to step down from his throne.

The only way I see him not wanting to press on indefinitely is if God willing his diet finally catches up to him at long last and we see a well-deserved coronary event. And while we see pictures of him and hope that he continues to deteriorate, absent that type of game-changing event I don't see him wanting to relinquish anything.

We have already crossed the level into authoritarianism. Right now we are at least at the level of Orban's Hungary, and it will only get worse.

President Trump 2028!

President Trump 2028! 

 

(He's not running in 2028, I'm just trying to further this myth of their own bizarre imagination that drives them even further batty. President Trump will gracefully exit on January 20, 2029 and hand over the reins to J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, or maybe one of his sons.)

More recycled Hate-Trumpery.  

In the real world, J. D. Vance will be among Rs running for President, and if he gets the nomination, DU-Denizens will be howling that he's a Trump-puppet or a Trump clone.

Okay, let's see...

Back before the 2020 election, y'all also said that he wouldn't leave. Then you gamed the system so that there was hardly a chance that he could win, but he left. Granted, he wasn't pleased and was vocal about it, but that's to be expected because, like most people in office, he has an ego AND, like most normal people, he doesn't like to lose ESPECIALLY because the system was gamed against him. Regardless, he left. That means that your accuracy is at a perfect 0%. With that in mind, why should anyone believe you now? Because this time you really extra-special believe it (and secretly want it to be true)?

My Lord, it's like you people actually want sane, normal people to both hate you and laugh at you.
