I know it bothers Donald to hear that.
I know some people are inclined not to bet against him given how many rules he's broken and gotten away with.
But when the SOB threatens to run for a prohibited third term, the automatic response should be that he's over with.
His days of influence are waning. His brand has withered, dried up and is blowing away.
No more coattails.
Expired like raw tripe left out overnight after its use-by date.

At this point, the nation is riding in the back seat of a brake-less, plaid-mode, full-self-driving Tesla in with Trump and Musk "supervising" in the front seats between ketamine hits and naps.
We know there will be swerving, at least one big crash, and possibly fires throughout. It will be very expensive. People will die.
Somewhere in there, one would think, a 25th Amendment removal or a 3rd impeachment would occur and actually result in removal.
