Sure I'll happily do that when he peacefully steps down, but that's not what he did last time, and that's not what he has said he plans to do. He openly admires dictators. Let's wait and see if he does what he thinks he should (try to remain president for life). I hope you wouldn't support it if he did try to extend his term, would you? I'm genuinely interested to hear you answer that - where is the line for you that he should not cross? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/19/trump-nra-convention-dallas https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/19/trum... https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-praises-chinese-president-extending-tenure-for-life-idUSKCN1GG03P/ https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-praises-chinese-... What he had to say about the Chinese dictator Xi: "He's now president for life, president for life. And he's great," Trump said, "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday," Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters. And oh look, I didn't even know about this attempt by a sycophant in congress to give him what he wants 3 days into his second term: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/23/trump-third-term-amendment-constitution-ogles.html https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/23/trump-third-term-amendment-c...

And when they announced that third term amendment people said "Aha, well we can run Obama against him!" -- which might be a win, if they hadn't written the constitutional amendment to literally only apply to one living president: Trump.

  On the one Conservative sub that exists on Reddit, no one is a fan of that stupid third term nonsense. Conservatives don’t take it seriously.

    Why should we care if users in r/conservatives take it seriously? Do you honestly believe that trump cares at all what the constituents think at this point?

He stepped down and we got four disastrous years of Biden. Not sure what you mean

  He did not step down. He spent months after the 2020 election trying to stay in the White House, culminating in the failed coup attempt on January 6.

    He didn’t stay in months. He left and Biden took over. The same date that Biden left - Jan 20th. There was no coup attempt because the Democrats stole the election last time. Just like they lied about Biden’s mental health until it was too bad to hide anymore.

      > He didn’t stay in months. He left and Biden took over. I didn’t say he stayed in for months. I said he spent months after the election trying to stay in. Most of November, all of December, part of January. > There was no coup attempt because the Democrats stole the election Ok. I see we don’t share the same reality. Have a day.

        No, you are in alternate reality https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/09/by-claiming-he-would-beat-trump-biden-basically-admits-he-was-forced-out-in-a-coup/ https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/09/by-claiming-he-would-be... Why do so many liberals overlook the vast amounts of evidence that a few bad actors in the crowd, some of which may have been FBI agents, were the main antagonists. And that the members of the crowd that entered the capitol were lead inside by police that moved the barriers out of the way and waved them in. AND that the mayor of DC knew ahead of time that there would be a massive demonstration and didn't bother to beef up the police on site. They were actually understaffed that day.
