  He had been "joking" about a third term already: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/us/politics/congress-resolution-22nd-amendment-loophole.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/us/politics/congress-reso... So let's see if a Trump with total immunity will really leave gracefully this time.

    I'm looking forward to the military coup! it seems that America is turning into a new Turkey. you can either have freedom or democracy, but not both.

    A president can't pardon himself. He can still be held responsible for this crimes that he's already done. they'll just be shelved for a time. With any justice we'll come back to his crimes after this presidency proves to be a complete failure. I personally don't believe that Americans will allow anyone to become dictator.

      Well, they have certainly allowed a convicted felon to become president, so I’m not as convinced of their ability to defend themselves. Any Netflix showrunner designing Trump as a character would have been called of for such a flat caricature of a narcissistic villain, but somehow people thought that would be a good leader. Even if Trump does not ruin the USA, I have forever lost my respect for its citizens.

      He does not need to pardon himself if he has presidental immunity for offical acts for the rest of his life. That just hinges on the definition of offical acts, which will be made by a partisan and corrupt supreme court.
