Trump Declares He Won’t Seek Third Term, Dismisses Speculation Over 2028 Run

[billd766]

IMO you can never trust or believe anything that Trump says.

 

What he may say on any given day, he may reverse 2, 3 or more times over the following few days.

[KhunLA]

He loves trolling the snowflakes ...

I dono it didn’t seem that way to me,personally I don’t think he will but he would NEVER leave an opportunity for a possible troll it’s what he does and in essence it’s exactly what he is.

 

 Damn! You had to ruin it.

Even if he did run for a 3rd term I doubt he'd win especially if the Dems go with AOC.

 

No worries then.

False equivalence. What force is he using in office to maintain being POTUS? None. Force of course being the key word. Now address the rest of the points.

 

He doesn't do key points.

Absolutely not a false equivalence.

 

J6 was a violent assault on the capitol in an attempt to overthrow the election result and keep Trump in Power.

 

Thanks for demonstrating just how far from reality you have departed.

Sorry but we are talking now. What is he doing now that makes him a dictator and fascist terms so often used and used erroneously. I laid out several points of definition and you have attempted to answer one. You say I've departed from reality then address all the points to show why this is the case and in your mind and that of others with the syndrome you are correct in saying Trump is a dictator and fascist by definition.

There is no way to tell who might win an election this far out.  Even if he could run (which clearly he can not and he knows it) who would win depends on so many things but primarily (some smart guy once said it) "it's the economy stupid".  People vote based on job security and standard of living.  All the other issues matter to an extent but really that's it.

I very clearly stated we’d test how far gone you are with the first of your queries.

 

You responded by confirming you departure from reality.

 

The J6 attack on the Capitol was an attempt to violently overthrow the results of the election and keep Trump in power. Pure dictator/despot behavior.

 

I provided a link to support that statement.

 

When you return to reality and accept those facts we’ll discuss your other points.

 

In the meantime I’ve no appetite for swallowing your counter factual nonsense.

Deflection. Address the rest of the points:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by ultranationalism, centralized control, suppression of dissent, and the curtailment of individual freedoms. It emphasizes a strong, charismatic leader, aggressive militarism, and the prioritization of the nation or state over personal rights. Historically, it rejects democracy and promotes a totalitarian system, often accompanied by propaganda, censorship, and the exclusion or persecution of perceived enemies or minorities.

Key features include:

• Authoritarianism: Power concentrated in a single leader or party.
• Nationalism: Exaltation of the nation, often tied to ethnic or cultural superiority.
• Militarism: Glorification of military strength and aggressive expansion.
• Suppression: Elimination of opposition, free speech, and independent institutions.
• Economic Control: State-directed economy, often corporatist, prioritizing national goals. 
  As for your link, this is a House Committee finding from 2022 as reported in PBS which of course has left wing bias. Personally I thought the Jan 6 thing was deplorable, I also think many of the jail terms were insane and I'm not convinced there wasn't any shenanigans with that election but that's in the past. It's the present that folks like you continue to say Trump is a dictator and a fascist  and I'm giving you a chance to explain why this is the case. For instance has he eliminated free speech? Does he believe in a state controlled economy? What about elimination of independent institutions? Dictatorship and fascism are specific political terms with defined meanings.

No need for a third term.

 

Vance is perfect for the role. The perfect successor. 

 

Who do The Dems have? Tampon Tim? AOC? Kamala? 😀

Trump is really having fun with this one.

It is really sad how a misguided mob action has been converted into an all out revolution/coup by left wing media sources.  I too find the actions of those people that day deplorable and some of them merited jail time.  But conflating that to an attempt to overthrow an election is a joke.   Since when do efforts like that happen by unarmed people?  And what percentage of those people were probably gun owners?  Since when do they end in a few hours after aimlessly wandering around and realizing they had done something stupid?  The retardation of expanding that into a coup is pathetic. 

 

And while I suspect some shenanigans with the 2020 election it's in the past and can not be proven.   The Republicans could not prove election fraud in the amount needed to overturn the results so we were stuck with Biden.  In a way maybe it was a good thing.  After watching 4 years of that the American people are finally realizing how far the Democrat party has jumped the shark and even Trump is a better answer.  I voted against and for Trump 3 times.  Against in every primary and for ever general election.  The DEMs gave me no choice.  I mean seriously Hillary?  Biden?  Kamala?

“I don't know if that's constitutional that they're not allowing you to do it or anything else,” Trump said,

He doesn't seem to know much of anything. I guess his "staff" won't break the news to him about the Constitution?  It's not that long of a read, but he hasn't bothered?  Then, his fans excuse his betrayals as "they tricked him."

 

This was just another distraction, as he breaks all his promises to his supporters - again, just like he did the last time.  See also, "Alcatraz."  It's a big circus show, to get the blue-haired left-morons and the equally-clueless "still support Trump" morons to fight.

Opinion | JB Pritzker: Democrats’ anti-oligarch oligarch - The Washington Post

 

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/05/05/pritzker-president-trump-resistance/

 

America’s super-rich have far too much political power: We were overdue for the “fighting oligarchy” movement that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has started. But I have to admit that one of my favorite politicians these days is worth nearly $4 billion.

 

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is an essential figure in the Trump opposition, and Democrats should give him a serious look as a presidential candidate based on the leadership he is showing now.

What’s so special about Pritzker? First of all, and most important, he’s more clear-eyed about Donald Trump and the Republicans than many in his party. Around the start of the president’s second term, when many Democratic politicians were rejecting the idea of another sustained resistance, Pritzker was already anticipating that Trump would govern in an authoritarian way and promising to be a bulwark against him. Others in the party now sound more like Pritzker did three months ago.

Let's see. He said he'd sort out the southern border. Sorted. Just one example of Trump having done what he said he'd do. Do you even think about your comments?

3Rd term.   The village idiot be very very lucky to see out this term. People are finally waking up to the compulsive conman.
