Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It
newrepublic.com
No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

Summary

Trump has repeatedly “joked” about seeking a third term, while making concerning moves toward authoritarian control.

He’s installed loyalists at the Justice Department (Bondi), intelligence services (Gabbard), FBI (Patel), and military (Caine).

His recent military purge removed six senior officers including those who determine legal orders.

These actions give Trump personal control over legal, intelligence, and military systems—potentially enabling him to declare martial law or invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass constitutional term limits.

    One strategically deployed hamberder in the next 1000 days is all it will take to ensure this outcome.

    Then you need to lock Vance in a furniture showroom, and nail Johnson to an inverted cross.

      Vance is the creepiest motherfucker I have ever seen. That man has no soul. Not in the sense that he’s cruel. No, look into those eyes, and tell me there is a soul in that husk. Vance is a philosophical zombie. There is nobody home.
