But also in March, Trump’s ally #SteveBannon said that he is “a firm believer that President Trump will run & win again in 2028,” adding that he & others are working on ways to do it, which would require circumventing the #22ndAmendment. (Bannon later told The Economist: “#Trump is gonna be president in ’28, & people just ought to get accommodated with that.” He added, “At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is. But there’s a plan.”)

#Republicans setting "rules for thee but not for me" goes back more than half a century.

#Republicans pushed for the #22ndAmendment after #FDR died in office after being elected to a 4th term.

I remember in 1988, when #Reagan's Alzheimers was becoming an obvious & serious concern, Republicans were STILL talking about him running for a 3rd term (there were whispers towards the end Nancy was actually in charge.)

#Biden was in FAR better shape, but pushed him out in 1. 🤬
