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.

Obama was litterally perfect. He had to be against gay marriage to get elected. Thats what you guys seem to be missing. Some times you have to project messaging that contradicts your policy intents.

Like all the Supreme Court justices who did a 180 on Roe v Wade. Some times you just have to fucking lie to the median voter. They don’t care they have the memory of a goldfish.

The only thing funny is pretending that some alternative main stream progressive candidate existed in the 21st century. Who is this mysterious progressive candidate you guys are comparing presidents too.

News flash buddy you ‘more progressive than thou’ liberals are losing elections and the consequences are getting costly.

Saying Obama was literally perfect is just… extremely wild. I mean he was fine, I had issues but whatever, enough to vote for him at least. Issue is plenty of normal milquetoast ass democrats have not voted since Obama because fucking republican-$50 ass candidates do not energize the base. They see no point in going to vote for “nothing will fundamentally change.” Pretending it’s progressives fault is literally the problem with democrats. Progressives literally have been shown to be one of the highest % voting block, and most do still vote Dem, and even those who don’t it’s much less than those that vote libertarian/constitution party. Like, half as many. Yet democrats spend more energy fighting 3rd party candidates than they do fighting republicans. Adopt more Republican policy than progressive policy. Shits just fucking sad.
