In an interview hosted by Politico, the California governor said the US must ‘wake up’ to the the threat posed by the president’s disregard of democratic norms
Donald Trump is gravely serious about running for a third term in violation of the US constitution, California governor Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday, warning Americans to “wake up” to what he described as the president’s flagrant disregard for democratic norms.
“I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election,” Newsom, a Democrat, said during a live interview at a summit hosted by Politico in Sacramento. “This guy doesn’t believe in free, fair elections.”
Newsom, who has gained national attention in recent weeks for his merciless trolling of Trump online and who is widely considered a presidential contender, said he had a stack of two dozen “Trump 2028” hats sent to him by the president’s supporters.
Third term my ass, he plans to be dictator for life. “Term” implies some sort of permission to be there.
I mean, they’re probably the same thing. Dude’s almost 80. Honestly I think it’s charitably 50/50 he even makes it to next election season (or whatever hot mess it ends up being), he looks like hammered shit.
Term also implies there is an election lol
Even North Korea pretends to have elections. The dividing line between dictatorship and democracy is if the elections are free and fair.
Two things can be true. He can be dictator for life, and Vance can run as an incumbent in 2028.
