    Is this because then he will have become a 3 term president and then there will be a precedent for staying president longer?

        So if Joe Biden is responsible for all the country’s problems… but then turns out Trump was the president all along - does he become responsible?

          When you start applying logic to these situations they have a tendency to unravel, don’t they?

      I would assume more likely because they think they cannot ever be wrong about anything under any circumstances, and anyone who claims that they’re wrong must be evil and bad and destroyed in any way possible.

      It’s like the 2+2=5 thing from 1984. It’s a stupid and pointless thing for the State to insist that it’s right about, but if you say the State is wrong about that then it will crush you until you admit that it’s right.

    I’m all for it. Trump won in 2020 and was POTUS the whole time.

    Which mean he wasn’t eligible to run in 2024, meaning the eligible ticket with the most votes win, and Kamala Harris is now President.

      He was already ineligible to run in 2024 according to the Constitution. The only thing that really matters in politics is power.

          So then back to 1776 then when oligarchy ruled. It is almost like the US has always been an oligarchy and harkening back doesn’t help.

    Ahh… ok so no person could be elected more than 2 times, but Trump was and so he needs to reign for 4 more years. Brilliant, might work out

      Or, only Bush (or other Republicans) is allowed to win twice. Even though they also don’t want us talking about his actions.
