1. He will be so much into dementia he won't be able to form simple sentences by that time

The dementia will only get worst and he’s become even more cognitively impaired. I work with seniors moving them to senior communities quite a few that I moved to assisted living and then memory care. He’s definitely getting to memory care determination. I predict he will say something so insane that it even upsets his magaloon cult members.

… let alone another.

Of course, long before that, the real power behind him will have ensured they have the players they want in place for the long term. We need to defeat them before they’re able to accomplish that.

because apparently that’s Congress’s responsibility, how can they prevent Trump from being on the ballot for a potential third term?

I guess we’ll find out if the Constitution has any meaning at all, although I’m still betting Trump croaks before his term is up. He’s not healthy.

He can not run for a third term. The constitution is explicitly clear about that. Even this Supreme Court would rule 9-0 on it.

What's he doing going on a Right Wing British outlet anyway?

12. Trump doesn't care about the constitution. He made that clear in his tweet last night. He wants to be King.

Trump's nephew is a wonderful guy. He spoke up against Trump frequently during the campaign. Do you really think Trump won't try it? If I had to put money on it, if Trump is still alive he will attempt it for sure! Will he have any luck with that? Probably not but he may try to have them attack the Capital again. LOL

He thinks he is above the law: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-suggests-above-law-ominous-214617618.html

14. I don't care whether he "tries" or not. This is one thing he has zero chance

of succeeding. And it is ridiculous for anyone to treat it seriously as if it could happen. It will not happen. period.

The power behind the current insane Dictator is already preparing plans for his successor.

Talk of a third term or an infinite extension of the current one is just a smokescreen.

The cult won't die with Trump's demise, too much effort has gone into dismantling American democracy for that to be allowed to happen.

Now that they have worked out how to game the voting system, they can slot anyone in.

Who though?
Musk is intelligent but too unpredictable, and Vance has no tough-guy charisma.

My money is on Don Jr, keep it in the family as it were, but junior has to survive his rumoured drug habit in the meantime.

10. Under the current rules, no.

But rules can be changed. SCOTUS said Trump could.

In short, I don't have much faith in US style 'rules' anymore.

7. Trump will have very noticeable physical deteroriation within two years

His body is going to give out soon. It´s hard to say when, but my guess is that at some point in the near future you will not see him walking around on camera. His staff will ensure that no cameras show him walking from Point A to Point B because he will look too feeble in the process, if he is even able to walk more than a few feet at a time.
Look at him walk around now. Very deliberate and he needs to focus on taking every step.

Same here, bad hip.

But I'm not the president, or claiming to be a bigly powerful bigly genius, so not a problem for the rest of the world.

Is he still wearing those high lift shoes?

Bad idea - just one fall away, one broken hip, permanent bedrest, rapid decline, funeral . . .

(Although Trump needs Elon's billions) Trump's own creeping decrepitude and the humiliation of his fealty to Musk is shaving the orange face's ego inch by inch, day by day. He WILL NOT run again (IF he even lasts this full term.)
