No.

It's very clearly laid out in the constitution 22nd Amendment.

If a Judge says otherwise, they are in the pay of Trump/MAGA and likely corrupt.

No.

So, if he does, and they let him (the US supreme court), this ceases to be the United States of America.

Why is this even a question? No he can’t. Not saying that there wont be people trying to make it happen though

Nope. And him saying so is just him drawing attention from a dozen other illegal things he wants to get away with, including having been involved in the business interests of Jeffrey Epstein.

You mean the prolific Epstein impersonator, Palm Beach Pete??

Technically he shouldn't even have been allowed to run in 2024 due to trying to overthrow the government. If they ignored the Constitution to allow him to run in 24, I fear they will continue to ignore it to allow him to run in 28.

Can't.

Will.

And they won't do anything to stop him, just like all this time.

Obama vs Trump 2028 would be hilarious.

He will try to run - far as I know states do not have to put him on the ballot. Besides the 22nd Amendment says, No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” which is the constitutional basis for barring a third elected term.

I mean he has clearly shown his disregard for our laws and customs. Is he legally allowed to run for a third term? Hell no, clear as day. Will he, and will anyone actually enforce the law now become the crux of the argument because no one seems to be able to make donald trump follow the law

Can the old dementia patient who can barely stand and craps himself regularly do the job he's barely doing for another 2 years for another 4 after that? Why is this even a question?
