9. Why are we/the media promoting Trump's gaslighting that a third term is possible?

They are coalescing around Vance because Trump is term-limited. Period.

Whatever he believes about his imaginary ability to decide not to run for a third term is propaganda and shouldn't be reported as news - or as a click-bait headline. The article, at least, makes it clear that Trump is constitutionally barred from a third term. A headline shouldn't make it appear that it is his choice.

(I know that is the actual headline on the article - but we ought not carry Trump's water by repeating it.)
