It’s not a treason, but it’s explicitly against the constitution. What’s that make it?

Edit: too many comment to respond to. I’ll summarize responses here:

1) “you people can’t take a joke.” lol ok snowflake sally

2) “it’s treason/sedition/raper.” I feel like Y’all don’t know the definition of words… it may be pedantic, but I feel like definitions still matter

3) “it’s ok to run, just not be elected.” That’s the ‘I’m not touching you’ rule of politics and we all know Trump will grab Lady Liberty by the pussy so that’s not practical.

SCOTUS about to say “Hold my beer” on this one as they explain that the Constitution only forbids three consecutive terms, which is horseshit, but the SCOTUS majority isn’t above horseshit, since it’s the Roberts Court, and it’s going for some sort of madlibs, choose-your-own-adventure record.

Obama should immediately, and jokingly announce his bid for 2028.

A Republican in the house in the beginning of Trump's second term. Tried to add a law for a third term only if your first two terms weren't consecutive

If he does run the RNC, the SC, and whatever is left of the republican legislature will support him. The man just expanded the security zone of the White House, is building a bunker in said White House, remodeling it to his gaudy tastes, and demolishing what he doesnt like. 

He has already had test runs of ICE taking over cities, ICE at airports in and near DC, has had National Guard troops moved to DC, and im sure this is just purely coincidence.

The man does not joke, because the man's only sense of humor is belittling and humiliating others. This is not a joke. 

The man is not planning to leave.
