Trump Rants About His Record Approval Ratings (They’re Not), “Not Joking” About Third Term

Fighting court orders left, right and center plus economically battling longtime allies all over the globe, Donald Trump believes he can get a third term as President and that he has the poll numbers to back that currently unconstitutional ambition. “No, I’m not joking,” Trump chillingly and bluntly told NBC News’ Kristen Welker Sunday of his desire to stay in office past January 20, 2029. “I’m not joking.” “Well, let me put it this way, you have to start by saying, I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,” Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker Sunday of the impetuous for a third term. “We’re in the high 70s in many polls, in the real polls, and you see that, and, and you know, we’re very popular,” the Republican added on the phone from another weekend in Florida. “And you know, a lot of people would like me to do that.

But, I mean, I basically tell them, we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.” Trump, unlike his rivals and other politicians, often says exactly what he will do before he really does it.

In that context, the 45th and 47th POTUS was on a roll today. Trump tells NBC News he’s ‘angry’ and ‘pissed off’ at Putin https://t.co/KYMzrIHAq4 Expressing a rare stint of being “pissed off” at Russia’s Vladimir Putin over no ceasefire in Ukraine, Trump then told Welker more about his third term designs: “There are plans.

There are – not plans. There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know.” Responding with specifics from the 22nd Amendment, the Meet the Press host sidestepped the obvious authoritarian nature of what Trump was saying and got into the Constitutional weeds.
