U.S. President Donald Trump once again hinted at the idea of serving a third term, saying he was “not 100 percent sure” he was barred from doing so under the Constitution, which forbids it.

Tbf, his unconstitutional executive orders will not stand. The constitution is being enforced, a Reagan-Era judge just shot down the one on birthright citizenship without a second thought. Even if he tries to pull a Hitler, I have faith that he will fail, and he will not pass an amendment to make any of this possible.
What scares me isn’t some kind of emergency power grab, it’s the Supreme Court. If they look at one of his unconstitutional orders and say “Eh, fuck all prior case law and decisions by this very court, you’re good.” that is an unprecedented misuse of power and would undermine the entire point of the constitution.
you mean like that whole immunity thing?
Like, the last part…right?
Not quite, he requires the cooperation of the Supreme Court; as far as I understand Hitler’s declaration of emergency power didn’t rely on any other group approving it.
The suicide part…
Ah, I really hope so!
