Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

Biden’s brain was leaking out of his head during the presidential debate, arguably the most important night of his ‘24 run. That was way more than a speech impediment, it was dementia on full display. His staffers have already come out and said they knew he was suffering from serious mental decline as early as ‘22. Stop making excuses for the Dems trying to steamroll through an unfit candidate…it was a dumbass strategy and it cost the nation to such a massive extent we may never recover. We should have upheld the democratic process and held a contested primary instead, and Biden’s legacy will be forever tarnished by refusing to do so.

We also watched as trump sucked off a microphone at one of his rallies, but that didn’t seem to affect the outcome of the election, so why does Biden being senile and having dementia even matter?

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just pointing out the contradiction. “Our candidate must be perfect” meanwhile the other guy is fellating microphones on a stage and mocking disabled people.

I agree that democrats need to run a good candidate, but clearly that’s not the most important thing here.

He wasn’t even a piece of shit. He had a good cabinet, he improved international relationships, improved domestic issues, he was a fine incumbant, he would have been better pick than trump if he was a zombie.

Because Biden should have never run in the first place, and the contest would have been much different if Trump were facing a competent opponent who was nominated democratically.

I agree, although I should also bring up that your argument was about the Biden vs Trump debate, however we also later watched the Harris vs Trump debate where Harris ultimately wiped the floor with him. My point is that clearly the quality of a candidate doesn’t matter to the majority of voters, and the quality of how they can debate doesn’t matter either.

Because ‘any reasonable adult’ ain’t gonna fly when you have no idea how much is left or even if it’s still reasonable.

Also Trump is a fucking moron, but I didn’t vote for him, so if you want to know why that didn’t affect the election outcome you’d have to talk to people who did.
