Perhaps it isn’t a gaffe. You cannot be president of the 50 states for more than two four year terms (barring succession the death or resignation of the previous president). Maybe in the 57 states he talked about you can be president for ten years.
So the length of the term is pro-rated depending on the numbers of states. Works for me.
Suffice it to say, if this joker gets elected, it will be a funny 8-10 years.
Remember in the World War II movies where they’d try to trip up enemy spies and moles by asking them questions every American should know the answer to?
Obama’s 0-for-2.
He plans to annex Bahamas and six Canadian provinces, therefore, 57 states. He was thinking ahead.
He will announce this first step in plans for global domination, fittingly, at the Victory Tower in Berlin.
