"He was saying, 'We're doing such a great job, we're doing everything the American people thought. Maybe we should just keep rolling,' " she claimed. "He was speaking facetiously."

Trump insisted the U.S. economy was the strongest "in history" while dismissing a question about the public's concern over high prices.

"A lot of times, you can't convince a voter,” he said. “You have to just do what's right. And then a lot of the things I did were not really politically popular. They turned out to be when it worked out so well."

Trump's "facetious" dismissal of electoral due process falls in line with comments he's made in the past; in particular, repeated references to a third term in office.

Despite the fact that the Constitution explicitly forbids it, Trump has floated the idea of running for a third term multiple times, even going so far as to add “TRUMP 2028” hats to the White House gift shop only a few months into his second term.

In a March 2025 interview with NBC News, he insisted he was "not joking" about considering another term, despite the fact that he will be the oldest president in U.S. history by the time his second term ends in January 2029.

“A lot of people want me to do it,” he said at the time. “I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

Unsurprisingly, some of Trump's most ardent supporters have also spoken about him serving a third term in the White House — chief among them, Steve Bannon.

Trump's former chief strategist — who has remained loyal to the MAGA movement despite the fact that Trump fired him from his White House role less than a year into his first term — spoke about the unconstitutional possibility in an October 2025 interview with The Economist.

"He's gonna get a third term," Bannon said. "Trump is gonna be president in '28, and people just sort of [need to] get accommodated with that."

Unironically this might work out. Trump is old and falling apart. I wouldn't put bets on him even living through this term, but no way is he going to keep going all the way to 2032. Since the GoP is now a cult of personality, if he pulls this off it will flip even harder once he dies.

>>1478568

Hopefully flip away from Democrats.

That country is going so bonkers it could no joke result in Obama getting a third term and declaring national communism or something like that. Either way it's going to be funny. This is like watching the fall.of Rome at X5 speed, livestreamed. What wonderful times we live in.

We must enact a law that if you are a property owner you vote automatically counts as 2 votes
For every $10M increase in value of your assets, your vote increases 2x.

So the top 5% of wealthy cast 70% of the votes.

This is better than the system now where the top 5% cast 60% of the votes

>>1478570
There's no way you believe that Obama is going to institute "national communism" (???) when his great legacy is ensuring insurance companies remain in charge of healthcare and drone striking thousands.

>>1478583
Wealth, like land, should not get a vote or other special privileges. There's already enough of the elites voting to enrich themselves and fuck over the little guy.

>>1478571
>>"He's just joking bro!"
I'm fine either way tbh.

>>1478584
>when his great legacy is ensuring insurance companies remain in charge of healthcare and drone striking thousands.

Ohh yeah, it would be more of that. He would just brand it as national communism. I genuinely think Obama was put in power to break the will of American voters. Here's this charismatic funny and articulate black man who says all the right things, and then in practice hes the exact same corporate oligarch as everyone else. How quickly people forget, he's the only president to come close to Trump in the number of deportations.

>>1478594
Do you believe they are real deportations?
I always thought Obama started cooking the books when it comes to immigration. Changing the definition of the language so that people turned away at the border because they lacked permission to enter the US.
People usually think of a deportation as taking someone who is here and kicking them out. Not denying them entry.

>GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, YOUR DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!
God I love Trump. He speaks just like us.

>>1478583
I thought the top 5% controlled 5% of the vote. One man one vote.

>>1478565
Americans need to get over their dictatorphobia. A society needs a firm hand if it's ever to be great. I don't think Trump will be a dictator, but he will need to exercise control if he is to defeat the global left and expand US territories.

Letter I sent off to the President Trump a few days ago:

>Dear Mr. President,

>This is the beginning of our official roll call for martial law and a national conscription. Mr. President, we are tired, not broken - a nation worn thin, asking for order. Hear the roll call of your people; restore the law, protect the land. Mr. President, I am just a 19-year-old history nerd and never in my lifetime did I think that I would see the day where your American people are asking you to enact a draft and martial law. We fear for the safety, not only for you and your family, but ourguys in law enforcement, federal agencies, even fire departments. We fear for their lives. We don't think that the leftist are going to stop their senseless violence. They didn't stop during WW2 and they did not stop during the Cold War and Civil War. Mr. President, you are doing a phenomenal job. You are the greatest president in all of history. But more importantly, you are our president. Not just the president of America, but the king of all of us on planet Earth who are tired of this leftist bullshit that has been destroying our civilization since they first crawled out of the muck to shit on those with God's mandate to rule. Of course we know that Jesus is the eternal king of kings, but the world is begging for you. The people in Venezuela are chanting your name, the people in Iran are begging for you to come in and help, the people in Greenland are begging for you to liberate them from Eurocommie oppression. We are begging you to protect God's chosen country as well and enact a national draft of young men and martial law.

Call it a dictatorship, a monarchy, whatever, we need protection from and prosecution for our enemies. To protect democracy, in times of chaos, democratic rights must be temporarily suspended else we lose all democratic rights forever.

>>1478642
I'm open to a dictatorship. I just want someone who is honest and competent unlike Trump.

>Says the illegals have 90 days to board the boats with the government bending over backwards to get them all on
>When the 90 days are up the shooting starts for anyone too stupid to leave. No ifs, ands, or buts

>>1478677
>I just want someone who is honest and competent unlike Trump.
lmao. Honest and competent are two things Trump isn't.

>>1478678
I know. He's a dementia daddy like Biden. and I said "unlike," not "like." My ideal scenario? A coup by someone who knows what they're doing but that's not happening ever.

>>1478677
Ironically, I think the left are the only ones who really watch his speeches. I know my conservative relatives all avoid watching them unless they're filtered through Fox. I mean, how can you explain stuff like this as normal mentally competent:

https://www.threads.com/@gailygailt/post/DTdsodBgbae/media?xmt=AQF0jAD-YvPjE6JBL6E6WkGbYoGZJsbL9yD5mALieuFJ3lQ

The news in general does a massive disservice by sanewashing this shit. The cherry-pick and put together a coherent message from the insane ramblings. On CNN or MSNBC, Trump goes from a dementia addled barely there old man into the ultimate evil. Before someone bleets
>buh Biden
the news did that shit with Biden as well. CNN/MSNBC ignored most of the signs of his mental decline up until the election (like his complete lack of media presense), and shamed anyone who brought it up.

>>1478680
We'll get Tucker Carlson, Tim Cotton, or Josh Hawley by 2040.

>>1478680
>>1478682
I never said Trump was competent. He's doomed and so is his administration.

>>1478682
>Complains of cherry picked video snippits shown without context
>Posts a cherry picked video snippit without context as evidence of what people should be watching instead
Lmao, the cognitive dissonance is real

>>1478694
And everyone wonders why Trump wants to build camps like Hitler did.

Look at all the traitors in this thread. That's normal for /news/, though.

>>1478570
>Obama
>declaring national communism or something
Man, you guys really do just have no idea what's going on. I don't even know if I can call it being delusional, I think you're just stupid.

>>1478695
They always accuse us of wanting this shit, like we wanted WW2, but no, they force us. Every single time. We don't do shit, the left does something to us and we have to react. We would be happy to just shitpost on /pol/ without some woketard telling us we're racist, but they have to spread their degeneracy everywhere. Nobody wants martial law. Nobody wanted to conquer Venezuela or Greenland. But we understand that it is necessary. That is what it means to be a conservative.

>>1478695
>>1478697
>you guys are cherry picking videos and calling us racist so basically we had to start the holocaust and become an evil empire

>>1478697
Your whole movement runs of abuser logic. I've never met a natsoc, natcon, groyper, tankie, etc. who was happy with themselves or their political activism. They always need to excuse themselves or swaddle themselves in so much irony they barely know where the irony ends and ideals begin.

>>1478699
Their start of darkness stories are always a hoot. Every young conservative has one. They're all the Joker deep down. The boomers, in comparison, will usually say that they arrived to their political beliefs through a long series of national events rather than one intensely personal one.

Your headcanon is so far removed from reality, it's amazing you think it's real.
There's a reason leftists have like 2x the rate of mental illness compared to general population I guess

I'm conservative because I don't like homeless drug addicts or criminals being favored above normal working class folk, which is what I've seen Democrats do over the past 10 years or so.

>>1478715
Because conservatives don't seek out mental care, they just beat their wives and children instead.

>>1478715
>I'm conservative because I don't like homeless drug addicts or criminals being favored above normal working class folk, which is what I've seen Democrats do over the past 10 years or so.
IT's all societal cleanliness. They scream at us about camps, but it's a reaction to them. You can't have that poison running through the blood and soil of this nation. Just like in Germany, it falls upon good conservative men to revitalize the nation and purge the freaks who preach suicidal empathy and tolerance.

>>1478721
>Just like in Germany,
Yeah yeah you love Nazis, but allow me to point out they absolutely fucking ruined germany's economy and government even before they started a fight with the rest of the world and lost.

>>1478722
They started the wars because their economy was fucked. They did a lot of shit that was good in the short term but disastrous for long term growth. The war would have been a means of averting the economic disaster they would have faced down the line.

Generally, totalitarianism doesn't lend itself well to good governance. Dictators don't have divine right like kings do or elections to draw legitimacy from, so tend to be hypervigilant for dissent (not helped by the fact that when a dictator loses power, they're usually convicted or killed). This is why dictatorships tend to be so much more bloody and oppressive. This eventually leads to all the competent advisors being shooed out or eliminated as the leader surrounds himself with loyal sycophants. It's why guys like Putin seemed to become dumber as power became more and more concentrated; nobody was no longer around to tell him when he was being ignorant or stupid.

>>1478733
Fucking this. The inevitable fate of dictators is the decline of their country.

That's a given fascists pit their own minions against each other to best please them, we saw that with the Nazis, we're seeing that with trump.
The worst part is republicans will continue to fall in line until they fail a purity test that gets them lined up against the wall.

>>1478798
Yes. Everyone I know was forced by the left to vote for Trump. Whatever happens, the left are to blame.

At this point they've mostly given up on mental gymnastics and either just claim X is good because Trump says so or where applicable admit to have been lying all along about their previous positions and simply having been waiting for a leadership willing to openly do what they wanted.

They don't have to deal with law enforcement.
Like if a normal person shoplifts they will get penalized, if a homeless person shoplifts often they get away with it.
If a person waters their grass on the wrong day they can get penalized for water preservation purposes, while a homeless person can contaminate local waterways with drugs and trash and not face a penalty.
