Trump suggests he would 'negotiate' a third term as president because he is 'probably entitled' to it
Business Insider via MSN ^ | 9/13/20 | Connor Perrett

President Donald Trump on Saturday once again suggested interest in serving three terms in office, claiming that he was "probably entitled" to an additional four years following a hypothetical second term at a campaign event in Nevada.

"And 52 days from now we're going to win Nevada, and we're gonna win four more years in the White House," Trump told the mostly maskless, non-socially distant crowd of his supporters on Saturday. "And then after that, we'll negotiate, right? Because we're probably - based on the way we were treated - we are probably entitled to another four after that."

Trump has often claimed he has been treated unfairly in comparison to his predecessors, often times pointing to the Russian election interference probe and his impeachment. Throughout his first term as president, Trump has also frequently floated the idea that he will attempt to serve more than two terms in office.

In August, at a rally in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the president similarly suggested he was owed a third presidential term.

"We are going to win four more years," Trump said last month, according to Yahoo News. "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."

In November 2018, Trump told Fox News' Chris Wallace that he would not seek a constitutional amendment to permit him to serve more than two terms in office. He made the clarification after he had praised Chinese President Xi Jinping's abolishment of presidential term limits.

Connor could be an SNL writer. Pretty humorless.

When he said what he said last night we both knew the humorless left would react with outrage. Too funny.

It’s hard to tell if this helps or hurts him with the electorate.

There’s almost no way he could get the 22nd Amendment repealed in four years.

Also, I don’t think we’ll ever have a president universally loved by the people who could get that done because one-third the population is marxist, one-third is patriotic, and one-third is still dozed off. You would need a president with the universal acclaim of George Washington to get the support to repeal 22.

Because repeal of 22 is nigh impossible, this makes it easy for the opposition to portray him as a dictator-in-waiting.

Wrong framing: It’s not Trump who’s entitled to a third term, its the people who voted for him who are entitled to have him as POTUS for a third term.

” it’s hard to tell if this helps or hurts him with the electorate.”

It was a joke. Only a complete idiot would take it as anything else, which is why the MSM is frothing at the mouth over it.

Unfortunately, the election is usually decided by complete idiots who vote.
