The buzz for the last few months has been this .maybe’ third term.

Since Donny walked into the WH there has been speculation and wishful thinking that he will run for an illegal third term as our prez.

Of course being the ego freak Donny has hi8mnted at the possibility but never has he out right stated that he would stand for that illegal third term.

Like I stated there have been many of his sycophants that have taken up the idea….lots of press coverage of the possibility…..but nothing as far as confirmation.

There seems to be a leaked memo about the task of making a third term possible….

Podcaster Brian Allen, who tweets using the handle @allenanalysis, shared a memo that argues for “reconsidering presidential term limits” so President Donald Trump can receive a third term, citing “unfinished business” and “continuity” as reasons why.

The memo, from the Third Term Project, is for a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event that was held on February 20, 2025, just one month after Trump took office again.

The memo mentions a discussion of a measure proposed by Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee to introduce a constitutional amendment to allow presidents to run for a third term, something that is currently prohibited by the Constitution.

It cites “unfinished business,” namely “the need for more time to complete President Trump’s agenda,” as well as “national stability and growth,” “the will of the people,” and “building the next generation” as key topics.

I have stated that Donny has teased the possibility but never confirmed that he would be interested….. he must keep the rhetoric going…..

President Donald Trump is still talking about trying to seek a third term in 2028, despite that being blatantly unconstitutional.

After Trump ally Steve Bannon suggested last week that some kind of plan was in place for the president to run again, Trump overnight downplayed the idea of running as vice president but otherwise left his options open.

“I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when asked about the possibility, while falsely claiming his poll numbers are at a high point. Pressed further, Trump said: “Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me.”

So what to make of his latest noncommittal comments about this matter?

It would be foolish to completely dismiss it.

This is a president, after all, who has shown increasingly little regard for the legal barriers in front of him. This is also a president who, less than five years ago, attempted to overturn an election based on lies about voter fraud. Plenty back then dismissed it as unthinkable that Trump would go to such lengths to stay in office. (Remember Mick Mulvaney’s op-ed?) And there are plenty of examples of Trump doing things that people wagered were just trolling.

We know that his ego wants that third term worse than he wants to bury Epstein…..but how will he do it  (if he decides that is his desire)?

Aboard Air Force One flying to Japan on Monday, Donald Trump found himself making news for many of the wrong reasons.

Facing a raft of imprecise questions from reporters about his aspirations to serve a third term in the White House, the President indicated his possible plans to flout the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution that restricts any president to two full terms in office.

“I would love to do it, I have my best numbers ever,” the US President told reporters. His comments immediately fuelled headlines suggesting that he is open to riding roughshod over the strictures of the constitution in an effort to retain his firm grip on the levers of power in Washington.

Asked whether he was failing to rule out another election bid, he demurred. “Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me,” he said coyly.

Trump’s remarks came 48 hours after The Economist published an interview with his on-again, off–political adviser, Steve Bannon, a self-confessed fraudster who pleaded guilty in February to duping Americans who donated money thinking that they were funding the construction of a wall along the country’s border with Mexico. With a glint in his eye, Bannon gleefully assured the newspaper there is no doubt that Trump will remain in office beyond January 2029.

“He’s going to get a third term. And people ought to just get accommodated to that,” Bannon insisted. Asked how the President could possibly expect to overcome the 22nd Amendment, Bannon said: “There’s many different alternatives. At the appropriate time we will lay out what the plan is, but there is a plan, and President Trump will be the president in ‘28.” For good measure, he called Trump “a vehicle of divine providence”, and suggested it is God’s will for him to remain in office.

Trump wants a third term as president. Here’s how he could actually get it

There is some sort of strategy behind is non-committal answers and desires….

President Trump continued to muse about the possibility of a third term this week, and nobody can quite figure out how serious he is. Sure, he may just be trolling his political enemies, but “it would be foolish to completely dismiss it,” writes Aaron Blake in a CNN analysis. A few takes on the political calculus:

• His gain: One thing that is clear: Trump “sees great political benefit” in talking about another run, regardless of the 22nd Amendment, writes Jess Bidgood in the On Politics newsletter of the New York Times. In her view, the president is keeping the idea alive because it keeps “him from being seen as the most ineffectual of Washington stereotypes, a lame duck.”
• His gain, II: Blake makes the same point in his analysis. Talking about the idea “helps him stave off something that is looming increasingly large: lame-duck status.” Blake argues that this is more important in Trump’s case than with typical presidents because he loves to make his enemies pay. If people know he’s leaving, they can just wait him out. “So what Trump and allies like (Steve) Bannon are effectively doing is planting a seed in people’s minds that says: What if you don’t actually know he’ll be gone come January 2029?”
• Been a while: Trump has been talking about this for quite some time. Back in February, Maggie Haberman made this point in her own New York Times analysis: “Even when Mr. Trump presents something as a joke, the idea he suggests often becomes socialized by his supporters, both those in office and in the right-wing media. The concept then often takes on more weight, including for Mr. Trump.”
• Backfire? At New York magazine, Ed Kilgore sees the potential of this backfiring in a big way, at least for Republicans. The longer Trump keeps the idea in play, the more his supporters will yearn for it—thus creating a “Trump Third Term Bubble,” he writes. “When it inevitably bursts (as it will unless Trump seriously considers a military coup and an actual, undisguised fascist dictatorship), MAGA folk will be very disappointed and may be less than enthused about being offered the booby prize of J.D. Vance.”

All this is some elaborate game that Uncle Donny enjoys playing….we know he wants that third term but has to keep the speculations coming.

I will not speculate…..you may if you so choose.
