    “If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them.’ They’d be out of business,” Trump said. “They’d be out of the election.”

    If he’s president then he’s in his second term. How would someone be then beating him in an election?

      Well, let’s see what Trump has said about that:

      “We are going to win four more years. And then after that, we’ll go for another four years because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years.”

      or how about

      “I have to the right to do whatever I want as president.”

      or

      “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

      or how about when he admired Xi Jinping:

      “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”

      He will do what Putin did and argue the amendment only applies to consecutive terms and his stooges in the Supreme Court will rubber stamp it.

        If he could wipe his ass on it, I can guarantee it would be covered in smears of post-digested McDonalds.
