Talking about serving more than two terms suddenly isn& #39;t a joking matter for Trump anymore.

Trump muses about serving more than two terms and becoming a dictator: "A lot of them say, & #39;you know he& #39;s not leaving& #39; ... So now we have to start thinking about that, because it& #39;s not a bad idea." https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1203537499303231489?s=20">https://twitter.com/atrupar/s...

This thread is about all the times Trump threatened to break the law of 2 term limits but this is an exception because of it’s importance.

Trump is saying his plan out loud.

Don’t worry about November, rock bottom won’t start till January.

Going to be really ugly. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1308898611820998656">https://twitter.com/therecoun...
