The Spin

Trump's third-term talk represents a dangerous assault on constitutional democracy that mirrors the exact warnings Republicans made when creating the 22nd Amendment. His repeated claims about finding "methods" to circumvent term limits, combined with a subservient Congress and systematic disregard for constitutional checks, follows the precise playbook of authoritarian overreach that the amendment was designed to prevent.

Trump's third-term speculation is classic political theater designed to energize his base and maintain party control rather than any serious constitutional threat. The strategic timing around midterms, merchandise sales and his own acknowledgment of successors like Vance and Rubio reveals this as calculated attention-grabbing that keeps Republicans unified while Democrats overreact to obvious trolling.
