Trump Intentionally Drives Dems Crazy With Third Term Talk

Trump knows exactly how to drive Democrats crazy…

Trump has occasionally suggested he may run for a third term and even has “Trump 2028” hats in the Oval Office, much to the chagrin of his Democrat rivals.

On Monday, Trump declined to rule out running again when asked by a reporter which has prompted a fresh wave of meltdowns from liberal lawmakers and pundits.

The President made the admission while aboard Air Force One as it headed to South Korea on Tuesday night, or late Wednesday morning, local time.

“I would say that, if you read it, it’s pretty clear,” Trump said, referring to the Constitution during an in-flight gaggle with reporters. “I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad. I mean, it’s too bad. But we have a lot of great people.”

On Monday, Trump also said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marc Rubio would be great Republican presidential nominees, setting up a potential rivalry between the two ahead of 2028.

A number of Republicans have claimed that Trump could in theory serve another term in the White House, potentially even as Vice President.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) suggested that the president “might be able to go around the Constitution” to serve a third term.

“If you read the Constitution, it says it’s not [possible],” Tuberville stated. “But if he says he has some different circumstances that might be able to go around the Constitution. But that’s up to him. We got a long way to go before that happens.”

Serving a third term is not “up to” the president.

A reporter then said, “But you’re open to it?”

“Well, I think that there’s going to be– have to have to be an evaluation from President Trump’s viewpoint to the Constitution,” the senator replied. “There will be a lot of legal aspects to it. Will it happen? It’s very unlikely. But, don’t ever close the book on President Trump.”

His former adviser, Steve Bannon, has ralso epeatedly claimed Trump can serve another term and that “there’s a plan” in place, and that the president will win in 2028.

However, despite some calls for Trump to potentially amend the Constitution, House Speaker Mike Johnson soundly rejected the proposal earlier this week.

“I think the president knows, and he and I have talked about the constrictions of the Constitution,” the speaker said. “I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes 10 years to do that.”

Despite the glaring Constitutional issues associated with President Donald Trump serving a third term- which Trump has openly admitted to- Democrats still can’t pass on an opportunity to stage a meltdown over the matter.

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom said he is “deeply concerned” about remarks from President Donald Trump and his close allies about possibly seeking a third term in 2028.

Newsom, who is widely considered a potential 2028 presidential contender himself, was asked by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl if he takes such talk seriously.

“They’re not screwing around,” Newsom said.

Democrat Congressman Calls On New York Governor To Pardon Trump

An unexpected twist…

Members from both sides of the aisle have aired their opinions in the wake of former President Trump’s guilty verdict but Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) has shared an idea that’s unlikely to get much support from his colleagues: a pardon.

Following the verdict, Rep. Phillips said New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) should seriously consider pardoning the former President “for the good of the country.”

Despite his call to let Trump walk free, the Democrat Congressman shared nothing but insults for the presumptive Republican nominee in a post on X.

Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips wrote on X. “@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”

In a separate post, Rep. Phillips defended his proposal noting how the Trump campaign has already begun to capitalize on the shocking trial. (RELATED: Trump’s Conviction Turns Cash Cow: $200M Raised, Eric Tells Fox News)

On Friday, the Trump campaign announced a new record of $34.8 million raised in the hours after the verdict.

“You think pardoning him is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are totally different.)” Phillips wrote in another post. “It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost.”

Hochul appeared to suggest that pardoning Trump is off the table as she made clear her support for the verdict in a statement released Thursday.

“TODAY’S VERDICT REAFFIRMS THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. IN PREPARATION FOR A VERDICT IN THIS TRIAL, I DIRECTED MY ADMINISTRATION TO CLOSELY COORDINATE WITH LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROTECTING THE SAFETY OF ALL NEW YORKERS AND THE INTEGRITY OF OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM,” THE STATEMENT SAID.

Phillips is not the only congressman calling for Hochul to pardon Trump. Republican New York Rep. Nick LaLota wrote on social media that “the best way to unwind” Trump’s conviction is for Hochul to “immediately announce her intention” to pardon the former president.

Earlier this year Phillips emerged as a long-shot “alternative” to President Joe Biden before suspending his campaign in March.

“I ran for Congress in 2018 to resist Donald Trump, I was trapped in the Capitol in 2021 because of Donald Trump, and I ran for President in 2024 to resist Donald Trump again – because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options,” he wrote on X.

“But it is clear that alternative is not me. And it is clear that Joe Biden is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be,” Phillips continued.

Court Ruling In Key Swing State Could Impact 98,000 Votes

Controversy arose in Arizona on Friday as the state’s top court ruled that nearly 98,000 voters whose citizenship documents had not been confirmed can vote in all races.

The Arizona Supreme Court’s decision came after a “coding oversight” in the state’s election software. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) maintained that “no illegal activity” had occurred.

The ruling has sparked debate in the critical swing state, with Fox News reporting heightened scrutiny over the potential impact of these votes in the upcoming election:

The database error called into question the citizenship status of 100,000 registered Arizona voters, affecting individuals who obtained their driver’s licenses before October 1996, and subsequently received duplicates before registering to vote after 2004.

Fontes and Stephen Richer, the Republican Maricopa County recorder, disagreed on what status the voters should hold following the “coding oversight.”

“This was discovered not because somebody was voting illegally and not because somebody was attempting to vote illegally, as far as we can tell,” Fontes said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “And this was basic voter roll maintenance, and it showed us that there is this issue.”

Richer filed a special action Tuesday asking the state Supreme Court to settle the question.

Richer expressed concern over the ruling, stating on X: “It is my position that these registrants have not satisfied Arizona’s documented proof of citizenship law, and therefore can only vote a ‘FED ONLY’ ballot.”

Arizona’s proof of citizenship law requires voters to provide documentation to participate in local and state elections, adding a layer of complexity to the case.

Governor Blocks Pardoned J6ers From State Jobs

    Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said he would block pardoned Capitol insurrectionists from serving in local government positions, citing a state law ordinance, according to a Thursday letter obtained by The Hill.

    “The State’s Personnel Code, administered by the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) and by you as its Director, requires the rejection of candidates for State employment who have engaged in infamous or disgraceful conduct (20 ILCS 415/8b.4),” Pritzker wrote to Raven A. DeVaughn, director of the state’s CMS.

    “To protect the integrity of our workforce and safety of our State, I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.”

    Earlier in the directive, Pritzker outlined the actions of Jan. 6 rioters who stormed the Capitol four years ago.

    “These rioters were accused or convicted of a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, including but not limited to: violence against law enforcement officers, threats against Members of Congress, destruction of federal property, and many other crimes. These crimes attacks threatened public safety as Members of Congress, staff, and other workers who were forced to hide from the violence for hours,” he detailed.

    “I am committed to building a State workforce that upholds our shared values and delivers results for the people of Illinois. Our State workforce must reflect the values of Illinois and demonstrate honesty, integrity, and loyalty to serving the taxpayers,” he added.

    “No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government,” he concluded.

    President Trump signed an executive order after his inauguration granting pardons to more than 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. He also announced several commutations for those who committed violent acts during the event. (RELATED: Trump Pardons Capitol Riot Participants)

    The president has defended his decision to free the rioters. 

    “These people have already served years in prison, and they’ve served them viciously. It’s a disgusting prison. It’s horrible. It’s been inhumane,” Trump told reporters, claiming the American public sided with his choice.

    Trump Reportedly Promised ‘Sweeping Changes’ at CNN If Paramount Takes Over Warner Bros.

    0

    David Ellison is reportedly already talking about what he’d do to CNN—before he even owns the company.

    According to The Wall Street Journal, the Paramount Skydance CEO told Trump administration officials during a recent Washington visit that he’d make “sweeping changes” at CNN if he manages to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, the network’s parent. The subtext isn’t subtle: CNN is a longtime Trump target, and Trump has told confidants he wants new ownership and programming changes, the Journal reported.

    Ellison’s comments come amid a fast-moving takeover scramble involving Warner Bros. Discovery. After the company accepted an offer from Netflix, Ellison said Paramount would pursue a hostile bid directly to shareholders.

    “WBD shareholders deserve an opportunity to consider our superior all-cash offer for their shares in the entire company,” Ellison said in a statement announcing the move. He argued that the competing proposal would leave shareholders exposed to uncertainty around the company’s linear cable networks business and face a more difficult regulatory path.

    Ellison’s father, Oracle co-founder and Trump ally Larry Ellison, called President Donald Trump after the announcement that Warner Bros. had accepted the Netflix deal to argue that “the transaction would hurt competition,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

    “Trump has told people close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN as well as changes to CNN programming,” added the Journal story.

    Trump, for his part, has never been shy about where he thinks CNN belongs on the media food chain. Earlier this year, he dismissed the network as “scum” in remarks on the White House lawn.

    Man Accused of Plotting Trump Assassination Challenges President To Golf Match

      4

      Ryan Routh, the accused would-be assassin of President Donald Trump, challenged the president to a round of golf with deadly consequences in a bizarre court filing on Tuesday.

      Routh, who is suspected of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course has filed a motion challenging him to a round on the links — with the winner getting the White House.

      Last September, a Secret Service agent spotted Ryan Routh in the shrubbery at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

      Routh aimed a rifle at the agent before dropping the weapon and running off. At the time, Trump was golfing but had not yet come into Routh’s view.

      That assassination plot came three months after Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

      On Tuesday, Routh filed a motion making several odd requests — including strippers, a golf match for the presidency, and even a “beatdown session” from Trump:

      To present new evidence two weeks before court when it has been almost a year for them to gather all they needed, need I say more — it is absurd. The deadline has passed. If you would like to trade admitting the evidence for my subpoena of that baboon Donald J. Trump, bring that idiot on; it is a deal. If you do not want to trade for dumbass, then give me all the others on my recent subpoena list, but I think a beatdown session would be more fun and entertaining for everyone; give me shackles and cuffs and let the old fat man give it his worst. We must beat down crime in America. Carpet is red, isn’t it, no harm in blood. If I am housed at Fort Lucie can it be in a far off, quiet room and can I have access to documents, phone, visitation, email, and maybe a computer and printer, or a fancy typewriter like this one; some female strippers would be great too(model parent): OR perhaps a putting green so I can work on my putting (a golf joke). A round of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job. (sorry hillbilly Vance)

      Routh was charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearm violations.

      A judge recently approved his request to represent himself, and jury selection for his trial is set to begin next week on Sept. 8.

      During a hearing, Routh presented about a dozen additional witnesses that he would like to subpoena, including Trump himself. The court had already approved four character witnesses for Routh, but he requested several more, including a former romantic partner, to testify on his gentleness.

      “That is clearly absurd,” Judge Aileen Cannon said.

      Routh also wanted to question several Harvard professors who he believes could testify that his actions were justified, but Cannon previously ruled that she would not allow Routh to use a justification defense.

      Routh has previously presented other strange requests to the judge.

      Fox News reported in July that Routh wrote an unusual letter to the judge asking why the death penalty isn’t on the table—and proposing that he be included in a prisoner swap with U.S. adversaries, even suggesting he be sent to freeze in Siberia in exchange for a Ukrainian soldier. 

      Trump Goes Off After Judge Releases Lengthy Election Subversion Case Brief

        4

        On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke out after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.

        In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of election interference, arguing that the filing’s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.

        “Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform.

        He also questioned the timing, contending that it came “immediately” after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s “disastrous” performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.

        The filing was submitted under seal last week. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan was the one who ordered its release.

        Chutkan wrote Trump’s team provided “no support” to claims of “bad-faith partisan bias” and rejected the defense’s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public’s “need to understand” the document.

        The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors’ superseding indictment should be able to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that presidents have immunity for official acts.

        Supreme Court Intervenes In Trump Plan To Fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook

        The Supreme Court stopped President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook on Wednesday, pausing her removal until the court can hear the case.

        The Supreme Court denied Trump’s request and said Cook can remain in her position through January, when the court is likely to make a final ruling on the issue.

        Trump fired Cook from her position after his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, accused her of mortgage fraud

        The update comes roughly two weeks after Trump officials appealed the case to the high court for emergency review. 

        Oral arguments are expected to be closely watched, given the unprecedented nature of the case, and the seismic shift that any ruling could have on U.S. economic decisions. 

        In appealing the case to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the Trump administration argued that the Fed’s “uniquely important role” in the U.S. economy only heightens the government’s and public’s interest in reviewing the case.

        Trump Threatens Russia With ‘Large Scale’ Sanctions

          1

          On Friday, President Trump said he was weighing additional sanctions and tariffs on Russia in a push to bring Moscow to the negotiating table to end the war in Ukraine.

          Overnight, Russia launched massive airstrikes against Ukraine, even as the United States is aiming to broker a peace agreement with the two nations. 

          While the Trump administration has largely focused on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, even going so far as to boot him out of the Oval Office last month, the deadly conflict began with Vladimir Putin’s invasion of his Western neighbor in early 2022.

          However, on Friday, just one week after the historic and contentious Oval Office meeting, Trump threatened sanctions against Russia as retaliation for the recent air strike, writing on Truth Social:

          Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!

          Critics of Trump’s foreign policy have long claimed that he takes the most charitable view of Putin’s expansionistic behavior, and, to be fair, Trump has largely given him a pass for invading Ukraine, calling him “genius” and “savvy” while blaming U.S. foreign policy under Biden.

          Lifelong Democrat Ditches Party Over Trump Bill

          7

          President Donald J. Trump announced his latest push to support American workers and American-made cars: a sweeping tax reform that will let vehicle owners deduct interest on U.S.-made auto loans — a move that puts American industry, not foreign conglomerates, back in the driver’s seat.

          Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with hardworking men and women from across the country — from farmers to food delivery drivers — Trump proudly introduced James Benson, a third-generation Ford autoworker from Belleville, Michigan, as a symbol of the shift sweeping Middle America.

          “I used to be a Democrat,” Benson said, “but after what President Trump did for our jobs and our families, I changed in 2017. I saw the difference right away — in my paycheck, in our plant, and in the way Washington finally started listening to us.”

          President Trump, whose bold tax overhaul in 2017 unleashed a wave of economic growth and record employment, doubled down on his Buy American, Hire American pledge. This time, his weapon of choice is a “big, beautiful” bill that makes auto loan interest up to $10,000 fully tax-deductible — but only if the vehicle was assembled in the U.S.A.

          “If your car is made here in America — not in China, not in Mexico — then you get the deduction,” Trump declared. “If it’s made someplace else, we don’t care.”

          The tax break would apply to passenger vehicles — including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles — built on U.S. soil and delivered fully assembled to dealerships. This ensures that the jobs created and the benefits received stay where they belong: right here in the United States.

          Details of the America First Auto Loan Deduction

          • Deduction Limit: Up to $10,000 in interest on qualified auto loans
          • Eligibility: Applies only to vehicles assembled in the U.S.
          • Income Threshold: Phases out for individuals earning above $100,000
          • Time Frame: Applies to tax years 2025 through 2028

          James Benson’s story mirrors that of millions across the Rust Belt: Americans who voted Democrat for decades but saw real results only after Trump took office.

          “Ford has a lot of plants here,” Trump noted. “And if you build here, you’re going to make a lot of money. I love the autoworkers.”

          This isn’t just rhetoric. Ford recently announced a $3.5 billion investment in a battery plant in Michigan, citing stable trade conditions and pro-manufacturing policy signals.
