Trump Says He Would “Love” to Run Against Former President Barack Obama in 2028

“I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you’re allowed for some reason to run for a third term, is there a thought that Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump in the Oval Office on Monday..

Oh, normalization of a third term. Cool.
Cool, cool, cool.
- I actually just saw the video. He actually talked about only having 4 years to do everything, I think things on here get a little over exaggerated a bit sometimes . I Suggest looking to up.
  
  Considering everything he’s done in less than 4 months, I’d expect him to finish up within the next few weeks. April 20th sounds good to me.
  
  Did you forget the first 4 years where he fucked everything up in the first term?
  
  How about you share the video?

No. Hard stop. This is just him trying to force Dems to decide that they’re okay with the idea of a third term and then use that admission against them to support why it’s okay for him.
Cut off any thoughts of third terms NOW.

Should run against a giant guillotine. Something tells me the guillotine would win the popular vote.
- Boots Riley has been saying it for decades...
  It's finna blow cause
  They got the TV, we got the truth

  We got hella people, they got helicopters
  They got the bombs and we got the, we got the

  What was the other song by him earlier on...
  It was a cartoon video... From maybe 2005 that looked like a flash animation. Not sure it was from an album.

This reads like an obvious ploy to soften the idea to his base. They hate Obama too, probably because Trump does.
What other opponent would ire them more? Also, if someone like Obama was on-board, it would be more of a challenge to the rule against it from both sides. Democrats rally behind Obama, Voting machine hackers behind Trump.
Is like a pretext to calling Obama a chicken for not doing it down the road.

The clearest indicator yet that Trump's rigging the next one.

hypothetical right now
The GOP is brewing up something.
- Bannon has stated publicly they are working on working around the constitution to do so.
  One trick would be via order of succession. Eg JD runs for prez, some rando as VP, trump as VP speaker, JD resigns, VP resigns, trump is acting prez.
  
  It certainly goes against the spirit of it, but yea, the amendment says no person shall be elected more than twice.
  It’s something entirely different to be elected the highest office in the land and be such a sycophant as to give it away to a madman.

hey America, you know all those GUNS you have to protect you from monarchy....time to use them.
- But as they like to remind us every time i remind them of their second amendment, its only the republicans that are 2a Defenders 😂
  Their whole country is getting taken over by Nazis, and they're too afraid to do anything. Americans are pussies.

Trump has such a hard on about Obama. He lives rent free in trumps mind.
Also, he's already stacked the deck so of course he would love to get the next win against him.
- I’m convinced the only reason he went from saying he’ll run to actually trying to run was that White House Correspondent’s dinner in 2011 where Obama made fun of Trump a bunch.

I'd "love" to see Trump run off a bridge.
- long walk off a short pier. Preferably someplace with sharks.

Trump would love to run against Obama because he knows if he loses it’d be easy to dispute a third Obama term.

Hypothetical? That's a weird way to spell "unconstitutional".

It would be nice to see Trump get absolutely destroyed by the person he hates most in the world.
- He seems like someone with deep-seated internalized self-loathing, so I feel like that would just be a self-own.
- I doubt it. Obama really went into the dark side after his first term, so he'd only be marginally better than your average Dem candidate.
  
  I’ve been a conservative voter with ethics my whole life and Obama was the best candidate I ever voted for.
  
  Voters don't really pay close enough attention for that to matter. The vast majority couldn't tell you a single 'dark side' thing he did.
  Obama is super charismatic, which is a large part of why he won in the first place.

I feel like someone took the Necronomicon, and didn’t speak the three words correctly
- Klaatu varada...necktie
  
  Now look at what you did!! The time-space continuum is ruined and we have oompa loompas with long necties wrecking the geopolitical and economical landscape!
  
  Definitely an N-word!

Its not hypothetical. Its straight out against the constitution.
- Order of succession is one thing they are looking at.
  JD runs for prez. Someone else as VP. trump as speaker VP.
  Daddy Warbucks buys/rigs elections.
  JD wins.
  JD resigns. VP resigns.
  Trump is acting prez.
  He didn't run nor was elected as prez. But he can become acting prez via order of succession.
  Voilà. 3rd term.
  For reference https://thehill.com/opinion/5204688-steve-bannon-trump-third-term/
  
  "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
  -12th Amendment
  Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.
