Election Year or Fear!

Well Trump can't stand again under the existing rules so he's got to work quick to overthrow the democratic process, so might as well go all in now.

Isn't there some attemp to allow him to run again on the basis there was a gap between the 2 terms?

The 22nd Amendment prevents anyone from being elected to the office of President more than twice, but (technically) I guess he could look for a way of remaining president (without being re-elected) beyond 20th Jan 2029.

Vance could run with Trump as vice president i guess.

That?s been my guess for a while

Wonder what happens then. Say Vance has to stand aside, the vice president takes his place, is he allowed to see out the term?

Small world example. Some years ago I was governor of local primary school. The chairman, a local vicar - isn't it always - was ineffectual and had been in office many years with a lackey as deputy. There was considerable pressure on him to step down, which he finally did. He nominated his deputy as new Chairman and himself as new deputy!! He seriously though it would heal the rift in the governing body by this. He was seriously deluded.

Let’s not forget last time round. Elected in 2016 only to be dumped four years later. What makes you think it’ll be any different this time?
He’ll be in his 80’s assuming he’s still around, and the Democrats surely won’t be as inept, or the electorate so gullible, next time.

But he's convinced he won then, so will no doubt be confident he would again.

Nor was he 'dumped', he lost narrowly. And this time round (so far) he's focussing on delivery not a staff merry go round. If he resolves Ukraine in any way at all IMO his approval rating will shoot up (amongst Americans, certainly not me if he he resolves it in Russia's favour)
