We are. We’re sure. You can’t run again, you vile, deranged felon.

Via ‪Aaron Rupar:

#Trump to House Republicans at his Doral club: "I've raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can't use for myself, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I think I'm not allowed to run again. I'm not sure."

@GottaLaff you know he’ll try, if he’s still alive.
@gfidk @GottaLaff unfortunately those 2 negatives (Trump still being alive & running again) does not make a positive.
@Nonilex @gfidk @GottaLaff He's so narcissistic, he literally doesn't believe he'll ever die.

@msbellows @Nonilex @gfidk

Regardless, right now, by saying that, he's threatening and throwing his weight around, trying his best to sow those seeds.

@Nonilex @GottaLaff Big “if”

@JonChevreau @Nonilex And he very well knows the law. By "run again," he means somehow forcing meaningless elections that he'll "win" regardless of the votes.

And I'm not sure how he'd do that... at least not yet.

@GottaLaff @JonChevreau @Nonilex Part of it is that his campaign is a ginormous grift, and he wants to continue having a campaign so we can keep making money off it. And he can't have a campaign unless there's some loophole suggesting he might run again for something.
@msbellows @GottaLaff @JonChevreau @Nonilex well if he runs again, I imagine he will be up against Obama
@peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff @JonChevreau @Nonilex Oh, that's a good point. If they get rid of the two terms limit than Obama could come back in and wipe up the floor with Trump.
@cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff @JonChevreau @[email protected]
The proposed plan is to allow a third term only for presidents who did not serve consecutive terms, thereby excluding Obama from runing against him.
@duckwhistle @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff What is the logic of that apart from a rule that favors only 47 ( and 48)?
@JonChevreau @duckwhistle @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff They know that they couldn’t win a fair fight, so they’ll cheat: it’s what they do best.
@JonChevreau @duckwhistle @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff
There isn't any other logic. It's a plan tailored to benefit only Trump.
@bruce @JonChevreau @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff
possibly they also believe it will muddy the objections if they say it means they still only get two consecutive terms and thus is consistent with the original restriction.
@duckwhistle @JonChevreau @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff
Maybe, but the MAGA caucus hasn't shown much aptitude for deep thinking.

@duckwhistle @bruce @JonChevreau @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff

So, as usual, Trump will create a transparently moronic rationale and count on SCOTUS to sign off on it.

@JonChevreau @duckwhistle @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff What other logic do they need?

The same reasoning was used to allow him to run as a convicted felon and to dodge impeachment, install his pet SCOTUS... They're 100% consistent on this point, no limits apply to Trump.

@gooba42 @duckwhistle @cherold @peterbrown @msbellows @GottaLaff After all he is “a very special boy,” as Jeff Tiedrich always reminds us

@Nonilex @GottaLaff one of these two possibilities excites me even more than I thought it would!

(If you know me well, then you know which one)
