    Appealing or circumventing the 22nd is a bridge too far, and they know it.
    That’s why the slogan is “Trump 2028”, not “Donald Trump”. They’ll run one of his sons instead.
    Because of course, that’s what they’d do.

    Like when they announced a press conference at the 4 Seasons before booking it, got denied, and held it in front of 4 Seasons Total Landscaping instead.
    All that matters is being “technically correct” so they can claim that’s what they promised in the first place.

        No its because he didn’t follow through on any of his promises and caused many to lose faith in politics even more.

          That is blaming Obama for Republican’s loudly announced policy of obstructing literally everything Obama tried to do including voting against their own Republican bills if Obama agreed.

        Obama didn’t help make Trump happen because of his skin color or any conspiracy.

        Obama helped by promising desperately needed “hope and change” and then dissolving his more deeply left grass roots organizations who helped get him elected.

        Obama helped Biden coalesce the neoliberal wagons around his campaign to win at a critical moment during the 2020 presidential primary.

        Obama was more concerned with appearing noble in his politics than using power to fully address peoples’ material needs and thereby more effectively inoculating said desperate people from demagoguery offering scapegoats to blame at those needs being unmet.

      To me, this just reads as “we can’t let the chuds get mad we elected a black president again”

      …but maybe you mean neolibs. Its Lemmy, you mean neolibs…right?

    They already have a solution for that. They want to change it to say "no more than two consecutive terms.

    There are already thousands of people rubbing their hands together figuring out how to sabotage him, because “better than Trump” is unacceptable. “Either completely unblemished perfection (with moving goalposts) or we’re not only not helping, we’re actively sabotaging!”

      I don’t think so. That would only make his wish to run and win against Obama even stronger. I am perfectly sure he thinks he could win in such a contest. He is after all a completely delusional pathological narcissist.

        And don’t forget, he has control of the whole federal government at the moment. He’s attacking his political enemies and attacking voting rights. It would be entirely within his current M.O. to either politically jail Obama, or change the voting laws to favor himself over Obama by restricting access to PoC being allowed to vote, sending ICE to deport anyone who tries to vote without bringing their social security card and birth certificate, etc.

        The SCOTUS is also on his side if there ever ends up being a debate about the results, so super fucked.

    Trump then issues an executive order that only Trump brand voting machines will be allowed.

    Supreme Court response: “I’ll allow it.”

    They were playing with ideas to prevent this. I.e. the limit only applies to consecutive terms. Obama had two consecutive terms, Trump didnt
