    There are shirts that say “Rewrite the rules,” so it’s pretty clear that they know this isn’t allowed and are trying to start early and normalize tearing up the Constitution.

    Also:

    Republican senators on Capitol Hill later downplayed Trump’s comments, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, of South Dakota, telling reporters that Trump couldn’t seek a third term “without a change in the Constitution.”

    Thune also said Trump is “probably messing” with reporters who ask about the possibility of a Trump 2028 campaign.

    So they’re going with the tried-and-true “it’s just a joke, bro” defense, until of course it isn’t.

    Asked to comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred NBC News to the Trump Organization “since it’s their website,” adding, “but it’s a cool hat and I suspect it will be highly popular!”

    New tagline just dropped! “Dictatorship: It’s A Cool Hat and I Suspect It Will Be Highly Popular”

    this is how he operates… he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.

    this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.

    Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

      and ignore them because they’re incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.

        They’re not cowards.

        They’re collaborators, getting rich off it just as much as the others.
