I'm against violence, but I'm not sure urinating and/or defecating on anyone wearing this hat counts as violence
CW2 when
They’re also selling shirts that say “rewrite the rules” just under the rest of it. Oh boy.
Why rewrite the rules when you can just not follow them in the first place?
It's called pulling up the ladder or closing the door behind you. You don't want anyone else to be able to do what you do.
Third term has nothing to do with being a grift for money or whatever. He's using that as a tool for power
It's simple. He's going to jail when he's done being president. And he's pissed off so many people he's definitely getting shanked
He cannot pardon himself for state crimes
The entire point of running a 3rd term is to stay out of jail
follow by example, much like benjaman has done.
He is going to ride the courts until he dies or too old to care. They had 4 years to lock him up for his previous crimes including Jan 6th. He won't see jail time and he knows it
Doesn't matter. Remember how stressed he appeared during the last lawsuits.
Make the prick stress the fuck out so he can't sleep at night
he couldn't sleep at night because he was getting all his sleep during the hearings
Like how they put him in jail during Biden’s term?
Oh wait!
Why do you think he ran for presidency again... He was convicted. Legally, he can't argue he's running for a 3rd term, so the judge can't make the same. The only thing the judge did was say he'd postpone sentencing...
I would love to live in this fairytale land where Trump actually faces consequences, but unfortunately that will never happen and people need to face reality and focus on minimizing damage.
Trump was exactly what the world needed, to see how far it had strayed
"Power creates power. The more power you weild, the more you accumulate."
In case anyone is still unsure, he is not willingly leaving in 2028. Everything that's happening indicates he is setting up a path for him to remain. One of two things are going to happen in our future.
We will need to march on DC in INSANE numbers and force him to leave with the threat of lethal force.
We will have to use lethal force to make him leave.
Only other possibility is he dies of natural causes before then. But then we get Vance and we'll probably have to do the same thing. This isn't just Trump. The entire GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. The only reason he didn't do it last time is because he hadn't set up the foundation for him to remain by doing things like, I don't know, instructing the FBI to arrest federal judges who oppose him, which is a line we just crossed today.
Fascism is here. Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train. Help others train.
But then we get Vance
If Trump dies in 2026 then there are 10 constitutionally valid years of Vance ruling.
Do you think the Constitution will stay unaltered until 2036?
Altered or not, it's not like the GOP gives a shit about a piece of paper.
Yes, all the ways to alter the constitution are fundamentally broken.
$50.00 for a fucking Made in China hat.
With tariffs, $120
i just assumed the corruption is so out in the open already that he will add an exemption for trump merch
I'm not going to lie, this is a profitable move by Trump, because his voters will line up to get them to antagonize those outside their in group, as was the entire point of their vote, to harm their enemies as an end in itself, regardless of whether he's able to get the SCOTUS to rule that up means down and no third term means infinite terms for Republicans only.
I'm just looking forward to all the idiots giggling about their own enslavement, as I see anyone wearing that hat as a derivation of this:
He got into power rigging the election with Elon, Russia, and ballotproof. He will magically get enough seats in the midterm to overturn the 22nd and be king til he dies if successful.
Republicans would have to win two thirds of state legislatures with MAGA loyalists to even bring a vote to overturn the 22nd. There is no way that happens legally, and Republicans know it. If they plan on a third Trump term, my bet is they will either be ignoring the 22nd altogether, or enacting emergency powers to suspend the entire Constitution indefinitely.
It still isn't currently legal for him to run for a third term. This is how confident he is the law will be changed or ignored.
The strategy they've been floating for years is: have two other candidates run while he runs for the house. Trump gets chosen as house speaker, meanwhile the President and VP resign, making Trump president. Then they argue this is technically constitutional since he didn't win an election to become president.
That's why it's essential that after 2026, there is a push to eliminate this loophole. It may take a constitutional change, but first it's going to take absolute annihilation of Republicans in the midterms.
To be clear. It's not just "the law" it's the goddamn constitution
It still isn't currently legal for him to run for a third term.
Being a convicted felon made it illegal for him to run for a second term. Still didn't stop him.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone to start selling "Obama 2028" hats.
Or Bill Clinton 2028 hats. They're the same age, after all and the jokes write themselves.
Bill Clinton - At least he was able to balance the budget.
Bill Clinton - He'll just fuck the interns instead of the rest of us.
Let's be honest. His health isn't going to make it. But regardless, if true, we should run Obama against him just so he can lose to a black man, again, before he dies.
Are you really willing to bet the future of the country on this? Evil has a way of sticking around way longer than you'd think...
If this joke of a nation had any merit at all, these coy suggestions would be disqualifying and his flabby, corrupt ass would be on the sidewalk or in jail tomorrow. Unfortunately, Americans are lazy, entitled, stupid, and collectively rich enough to pretend that there won’t be consequences to our shortsightedness.
Not saying I agree with the whole 2 terms 4 years each thing americans have let alone their political system in general, but who was actually surprised? That's what fascists do, just take Mussolini.
thats what hitler does, whom trump have qouted many times.
