Trump Says He Will 'Negotiate' Third Term Because He's 'Entitled' To It

(Forbes) President Trump said Saturday that he plans to “negotiate” to run again in 2024 if he wins reelection in November, his latest in a series of comments that have alarmed critics who say he has little regard for constitutional boundaries.

During a rally in Minden, Nevada, Trump predicted he would win reelection and carry Nevada, a state he lost narrowly in 2016. “After that,” Trump said, “we’ll negotiate,” asserting that he’s “probably entitled to another four after that” based on “the way we were treated.”

The comments echo ones Trump made during a rally in Wisconsin in August, in which he stated he would win four more years and “go for another four years” because “they spied on my campaign,” likely referencing his unproven “Obamagate” theory.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer-turned prolific critic, has argued that Trump’s comments should not be disregarded as humor, instead asserting that Trump believes he should be the “ruler” or “dictator” of the U.S. and wants to “change the Constitution.” Cohen predicted that, were Trump to win reelection, “he is going to automatically day number one start thinking how he can change the Constitution for a third term, and then a fourth term.”

about Trump's "entitlement." He longs to be like all the other neighborhood bullies.

What I find hard to fathom is why, oh why, anybody would give up their freedom to enable this POS dictator the power to harm their own self interests? What in heaven is driving people to elect this obvious wannabe dictator who would KILL THEM just to watch them die??

Why do people need daddies? This guy can't help you! Hell, he won't help you! HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW. So, he just helps himself. He's connected to the mob and dictators, those are his interests, and he could care less about you and yours. He wants a family dynasty with precious Ivanka as his successor in power.

People, we have a problem...

Can you impeach someone out of office? Yes.

Why would you? Because impeachment can be used to disallow ever holding office again.

To the extent this might be considered a double-jeopardy situation, there are many, many different charges for different incidents Trump hasn't been tried for yet.

Further, Barr should be impeached, and any other co-conspirator who held an elected or appointed position in this criminal administration, or in the Congress who knowingly looked the other way and reneged on their duty to exercise impartial justice.

Trump is welcome to try to become President in 2024:

1. After Biden wins in 2020
2. He gets the nomination by the Republican Party,
3. And he wins the General Election.

That's constitutional if he wants 2024 so badly.

The Constitution says two terms only. If you could have extra terms because you were "treated badly," Bill Clinton would still be president.
