What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Murphys Dog

Not just thinking, saying loud and clear. Helps that it is completely factual too.

Objectively, trump is a rapist.

Subjectively, he isn't.

You think that Trump is going to change the constitution?

We aren't talking about decorum here, or interpretation, or muddying the waters. To serve a third term Trump literally needs to change the text of 22nd amendment of the constitution and you think he is going to be able to do that?

There is concern over the direction US politics is going, and then there is chicken little doom mongering.

Yes, everybody did. He made a bollocks of the job, everybody saw that coming.

And if he gets in he would make another bollocks of it.

But don't dodge the question, how is a senile old rapist going to change the 22nd amendment of the US constitution?

"Or maybe he might just do what he did the last time."

Well, we all know you'd be perfectly happy if he did...

You dodge my question and insist on me answering yours lol

Maybe he'll do what Putin did, and insert a proxy?

I'm not an American constitutional lawyer, but there have been amendments made to it before.

Now - your turn.

I set out all of the things he did and asked if you foresaw half of that.

I didn't dodge anything, I answered your question, yes we all foresaw Trump being a scumbag and doing a lot of selfish, terrible things. Nobody gets any points for seeing the obvious.

You don't have to be a constitutional lawyer, but if you can't see any way for him to change the constitution then crying about him doing something that requires a constitutional change is nothing but doom mongering.

You misspelled 'false equivalence'

“Or maybe he might just do what he did the last time.“

Sell US secrets to foreign actors, accept millions and billions in unconstitutional emoluments, use federal violence against protestors and international journalists, abandon overseas allies, make more deals with terrorist organizations, hand Ukraine to Russia on a platter, erode NATO, ignore another pandemic until it’s too late, rape women, steal more U.S. top secret and codeword Intel, violently separate kids from their families and destroy the paper trail, hysterectomies at the border, sell industrial towns up river, destroy the institution of the judiciary, pardon himself and all of his coconspirators, what do you think he’s gonna do with 4 more years? Certainly not get annual GDP above 3%

Trump's nature is well-understood. To even allow him to fulfill the worst fears of what he might do is pure folly. This is the same reason that most people do not put a scorpion under their shirt, even when being stung is not guaranteed.

Or, as Trump is fond of saying himself,

“Take me in oh tender woman,

“Take me in, for heaven's sake,

“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.
