Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.
Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”
“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.
We know he’s not joking. The question is whether the military, sworn to uphold the Constitution, will do anything about it when the time comes.
That time passed long ago.
The 14th amendment could not be clearer in barring from office participants in an insurrection. Yet Krasnov is president.
He has already replaced military leaders and top generals with cultists.
