Trump's Taunts on an Illegal Third Term: A Clear Indication of His Intent
Late-night talk show hosts have been weighing in on Donald Trump's recent comments about running for a third term as president, despite being illegal under the 22nd amendment to the US Constitution. The 22nd Amendment states that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
Trump's response to questions about his potential third-term bid has been telling. When asked by reporters if he had a plan for such a campaign, Trump replied: "I would love to do it... I have my best numbers ever." However, when pressed further on whether he had thought about running again, Trump claimed: "I haven't really thought about it." This claim is dubious, as evidenced by the numerous merchandise items bearing his name and logo, including "Trump 2028" hats displayed in the Oval Office.
Jon Stewart, a well-known comedian and former host of The Daily Show, believes that Trump has indeed thought about running again. Stewart noted: "That's the tell for whenever he's asked about something that he is definitely going to do that is dubious legally, ethically or morally." He added: "What's interesting about Trump is he's actually worked through the various scenarios of running for a third term that he has not thought about."
Trump's demolition of part of the East Wing of the White House was seen as another sign of his intentions. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joked about this move, saying it was like knocking down a wall in a Brooklyn deli without permission.
Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert have also weighed in on Trump's behavior, with Meyers noting: "It's so weird to make a hat for a thing that can't happen." Meanwhile, Colbert quipped: "I know that sounds nice, I get it, but I don't like the idea of the armed forces having a private sponsor."
The signs are clear β Trump is serious about running for a third term and has already begun working out the logistics. His actions demonstrate a disregard for the Constitution and the democratic process, which should be deeply concerning to all Americans.
As Jon Stewart said: "Trump can't help himself." It's time for the American people to take action and stand up against this attempt to undermine our democracy. The 22nd Amendment is in place for a reason β it's not meant to be ignored or disregarded. We must hold Trump accountable for his actions and ensure that he does not pursue an unconstitutional third term as president.
