Summary
Trump has repeatedly “joked” about seeking a third term, while making concerning moves toward authoritarian control.
He’s installed loyalists at the Justice Department (Bondi), intelligence services (Gabbard), FBI (Patel), and military (Caine).
His recent military purge removed six senior officers including those who determine legal orders.
These actions give Trump personal control over legal, intelligence, and military systems—potentially enabling him to declare martial law or invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass constitutional term limits.
I wonder if he’s narcissistic enough to still at least do the election for his third term. He’d need significantly more cheating this time around to overcome the margins he’s gonna lose by with all his voters dead or faces eaten by leopards.
It’s already done. Elon getting CISA access and firing people there was the end. Elections are cooked.
They might stage a pretend election just for his ego.
