Bet he'll feel the same if they lose 2024!

More importantly, he'll feel the same when 2028 elections come around, and we'll get Trump for a third term when they interpret the max terms law much like Putin does in Russia; where he's president up to the limit, they install a puppet for a single term, and then pop putin back in after.

I'm legit curious (no that's not quite right, terrinquisive? Horrifious?) how they'll justify the exemption from term limits. My gut says it'll be something about two terms max consecutively for 2028, then if that works, just throw out the term limits in 2030 or have martial law spring up.

They'll put him up as the VP and have the president step down. So Trump wasn't elected, nor did he run for the office. So the rules don't apply.

Edit: turns out Trump would be ineligible to be nominated for VP due to the 12th amendment in this scenario.

Oh shit that’s brilliant. Because they can just keep doing that forever.
