I've already placed my bets that current president will be the first to serve at least three terms since the two-term limit was introduced. Judging by what's happening, seems like a safer and safer bet every day.

Hasn’t Trump already said he won’t do another term?

  No way would he ever lie!

  Like he said he didn't know anything about project 2025? Steve Bannon is the one working on this, has said they have a plan to do it. Trump himself seems to believe that if the country is at war elections are postponed because that is how it works in Ukraine. Ergo Venezuela.

  He has said that he cannot do more than two terms, but also there are ways to do more terms. Then he said it's too early to think about, then that he is joking, then that he wasn't joking, then that he isn't looking into it, but that they're "probably entitled to another four after that" (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-trump-has-said-about-pursuing-a-third-term/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-trump-has-said-about-pursu...), whatever the fuck that means. Ultimately, I don't think it matters much what he says or has said, he won't clearly say what he/they are planning, obviously.

    > Ultimately, I don't think it matters much what he says or has said, he won't clearly say what he/they are planning, obviously. Honestly they're pretty open about their plans. They laid most of them out in Project 2025. They just sometimes carry out those plans while also denying that they are following the playbook. Trump in particular will be surprisingly candid about what he's doing in between bouts of lies and denials.

I think the most likely reason that won't happen is some sort of cardiovascular failure (heart attack or stroke), not because anyone will actually stop the Republicans otherwise trying. Conservatives want a monarchy.

  In that case, I guess we'll see a live-action remake of Presidency at Bernie's.

Shitty bet tbqh, but it's your money. Trump promises his supporters much but delivers very little. If J6 is the sort of insurrection his base can muster, there's no chance in hell of him getting another term.
