TRUMP RETWEETS FALWELL'S CALL TO EXTEND HIS FIRST PRESIDENTIAL TERM BY 2 YEARS: 'TIME STOLEN BY THIS CORRUPT FAILED COUP'
BY CHRISTINA ZHAO ON 5/5/19 AT 8:08 PM EDT

President Donald Trump on Sunday retweeted Liberty University President Jerry Falwell’s post, calling for the first term of his presidency to be extended by two years “as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.”

"After the best week ever for @realDonaldTrump - no obstruction, no collusion, NYT admits @BarackObama did spy on his campaign, & the economy is soaring. I now support reparations-Trump should have 2 yrs added to his 1st term as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup," Falwell — a longtime Trump supporter — tweeted on Saturday, apparently in reference to the controversies surrounding special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

. . .

Trump then posted two tweets later that evening touting his successes in office and claiming that Democrats have stolen two years of his presidency with collusion allegations that “we will never be able to get back.”

“Despite the tremendous success that I have had as President, including perhaps the greatest ECONOMY and most successful first two years of any President in history, they have stollen [sic] two years of my (our) Presidency (Collusion Delusion) that we will never be able to get back,” the president tweeted.

1. it begins

I see why Pelosi shared what she thought about this to the New York Times.

Pelosi worries Trump won't give up power if he loses re-election by small margin

[Flaleftist]

5. He won't go easily if he loses by any margin.

[rogue emissary]

13. I think a lot of people are waking up to that possibility.

[kimbutgar]

2. How convenient when the statue of limitations have expired for the orange maggot to be indicted !

[Cold War Spook]

28. There isn't any case law for this so it would have to go all the way to The Supreme Court.

The statute of limitations is tolled if a person can not be arrested in such cases where he or she leaves the country and cannot be extradited. Since the president cannot be tried for a crime simply because he or she is president, the courts may find that this would be similar enough to start the statute of limitation once he or she (would someone please come up for a singular pronoun that means he or she) leaves the office.

[TwilightZone]

4. No, she didn't.

As the OP clearly notes at least three times, he got the idea from Falwell.

[SergeStorms]

23. Wrong again.

Falwell sprung this bullshit before Pelosi mentioned it. She only mentioned it because Falwell started this ridiculous crap.

[murielm99]

18. Stop blaming Pelosi

for repubbie sins and shortcomings. We are lucky to have this strong, smart woman.

[moonscape]

6. This is fine with me, but

first Obama needs to serve the 8 years that he lost due to total obstructionism, and the judicial openings the Repubs stole need to be returned.

Then, we need a 2016 re-do with paper ballots to ascertain who stole what from whom.

[SergeStorms]

24. And then get...

his Supreme Court pick back. They can't have everything their way.

[FiveGoodMen]

45. "They can't have everything their way. "

Dying to see some evidence of that.

[forgotmylogin]

39. Right.

It's not like the so-called "witch hunt" kept him from destroying the government and safety regulations and appointing two SCJs.

Ya did damage, Donny, you don't get to return a product you've broken.

[BigOleDummy]

44. My same

Thoughts exactly! First thing that popped into my head when I first saw this warning/foreshadowing of what our future is going to look like. Yes, I'm very worried that this may indeed become a fact and for more than "2 years" too.

[videohead5]

7. Then Bill Cinton

Should get 3 or 4 more years as president.

[rickyhall]

21. Obama should get all 8 years back for obstruction by turtleman

[videohead5]

26. Yes

No doubt.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

46. I say we start this evening.

Dear President Obama -- we've decided that you were screwed out of your presidency by Bitch McConnjob and the Birther Bullshitters.

Please report immediately to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with Michelle, the girls, the dogs. And Mama Robinson.

You've got a lot of work to do, Sir. Let us know what we can do to help.

Love,

America.

[thenelm1]

8. Huh?

Well, if we're going to start giving redoes, then Bill Clinton probably has another eight years coming to him first, before Trump gets any consideration, am I right? I'm sure the repubes would be just a-ok with that.

[patphil]

11. I don't think we should try President for life

But we should certainly try the President and perhaps he could get life...in prison.

Patrick Phillips

[PatrickforO]

14. Oh, that's good!

Indeed. Two terms is fine.

For the next president, that is.

For Trump - one term is stretching it, followed by prison.

[Judi Lynn]

30. Now we're talking. Seeing him in a place where he couldn't order anyone around would be heavenly. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

48. Or we didn't have to hear from him or anything about him, either

[dalton99a]

9. .

[Judi Lynn]

31. Horrifying. He's threatening to never leave. n/t

[FakeNoose]

38. That's funny, I read his statement a different way

To me it sounded like he was asking to be assassinated in office.

[Apple Fritter]

43. EXACTLY.

Leave and get out of office as and idiot an crook. Serve Jail-time..it's better than death.

[Perseus]

10. Yes, this is how it starts...This is what Chavez did, and they are still there

the citizens are eating from garbage, all the institutions have been corrupted, the kleptocracy, which the USA is becoming one in front of our eyes, has began in full force.

Democrats MUST IMPEACH both Barr, the buffoon, and anyone who thinks they are above the law, there is no other way out.

USA PLEASE...WAKE UP, THIS IS SERIOUS.

THEY ARE NOT INCOMPETENT, THEY ARE JUST EVIL.

IT CAN HAPPEN HERE

[rickyhall]

22. How do we get rid of Senate Majority Leader?

[George II]

12. Falwell's father is the one who claimed "God doesn't listen to the prayers of Jews" and....

....implored his sad, desperate followers, between Christmas and New Years, "if you can't afford to send a donation now, post-date the check"!!!

A family of grifters.

[PatrickforO]

16. These holy rollers are truly disgusting.

Falwell was one of the worst of the lot.

[C Moon]

15. I recall Bush II saying he didn't think 4 years was long enough,

and wanted to make it 6.
That was disturbing, as well.

[iluvtennis]

17. No respect for our US democracy, just no respect. Trumpanzees think they are above the law.

[Doitnow]

20. On the contrary, we ought to nullify the wasted two years of the Dump pResidency.

[Judi Lynn]

32. Stupendous idea. It seems like the right moral response to this filth that's been dumped on us.

His decisions were all completely wrong for the human race. Everything he has done SHOULD be reversed.

[Honeycombe8]

25. I'm tellin' ya...he's going for a dictatorship.

He's batsh*t crazy.

[JohnnyRingo]

27. "we will never be able to get back."

That's right. Now shut the fuck up and go back to whatever it is you do.
If I want to hear whining, I'll step on the cat.

[BigmanPigman]

29. He should start writing comedy, it is his true and only gift

but he doesn't know it. He is a walking joke and all I can do is laugh, not got pissed off at first like I used to.

[Mc Mike]

33. No thanks, nazi.

[3Hotdogs]

34. That would work if he would also declare all his presidential actions null and void.

For instance, remove all his judges and start again.

[NCjack]

35. When we remove PutinStooge#45, Hillary should get full 4 years in WH. nt

[Ramsey Barner]

36. "Well, Jim, the Constitution does permit a ten-year Presidency . . ."

How long until we hear a Faux News commentator spout that crappe?

(Hey, the XXII Amendment is complicated. So we'll get Barr to give us a brief summary.)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. It's a corrupt tweet by a corrupt "pastor" retweeted by a corrupt president. Fascistic. . . . nt

[The Liberal Lion]

40. Although he is a complete joke

Never take trump's idiotic tweets as a joke.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

41. I agree - He should get 2

to 20 years in prison without parole...let him die in a jail cell!

[colsohlibgal]

42. WOW

The next 2 years or so will determine where we go. Scary.

As far as I can recall we are at a crossroad. If we win back the Presidency we had better win by a lot or Donnie will challenge it and refuse to leave.

It is not just crazy Donnie.....the righties want to privatize everything, they want to kill the legacy of FDR’s New Deal.

[Linda Ed]

47. Lord have mercy.

Kenneth Copeland once told his parishioners to purchase him a private jet so that he could avoid demons that fly on regular airplanes

Last Wednesday, Trump and Copeland shared a dinner at the White House.
