Donald Trump has announced he will run for president in 2028 during a rambling speech to the Washington press corps.

Trump was speaking at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when he appeared to make the announcement.

I won three times, now I’m gonna do it again,” he said, while putting on a cap that read “Trump 2028″.

“I’m gonna do it again. It should be easy.”

He went on to add that he won in 2020 but the election was rigged.

The 80-year-old was met with a smattering of applause, but even he did not seem excited by the moment.

Over the dead body of every patriot that stands for the Constitution, which reads in pertinent part:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

-22nd Amendment

*Edit: Here's the video of his announcement:

And I'm sure NOW the military will stand up, right? After all, their job is to defend the constitution not the fucker in office. Right????

    More disrespectful to the US than anyone ever thought a self-described American could be. Attributing election rigging by others, while rigging the election himself, ambiguously in reality and in dark, threatening humour.

    Which "minor update," to the voting machines, will help him win the next election.

    it’s a stark reminder that the constitution is not immutable. amendments are changes, and they may seem “hard to do” but with this regime and supreme court, they won’t stop until they pretend they did this legally. remember: nazis were legal.

    It’s official. He’s going for the Putin-esque “democracy”…a dictatorship where you beat the crap out of people at the polls for voting opposition.

    Don't forget that he is only president NOW because we are already ignoring the constitution. Don't act like breaking a different amendment is any different. We already lost our constitution and rule of law when we stopped enforcing them.

    14th amendment - Section 3

    "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

    He engaged in insurrection, Congress never voted to remove it, he is holding office NOW despite our constitution stating quite clearly he is ineligible.

    Illegitimate president.

    You can bullshit around the insurrection label, but the term limit is pretty cut and dry. Not going to stop them, but the ramp is how we got here.

    That part will never happen. No matter what - he's getting away with it. He's too old to face any real consequences.

    What we need to ensure is that responsibility doesn't end with him. We need a new round of Nuremberg trials and his cronies and enablers need to be held to account.

    No mercy. Those in the military who executed illegal orders should be court-martialed and executed.

    If I could trust the system to actually enforce the Constitution, I'd say bring it on. The 22nd amendment never prohibits running when you're ineligible to be elected. I'd actually love to see him run, "win", and then have to watch his opponent get sworn in because he's not eligible.

    IF I could actually trust that the Constitution would be enforced.

    Good Lord. If trump looked any more like roadkill, he'd have to fight to keep RFK Jr from trying to eat him. He looks like absolute dogshit. I didn't think it was possible for somebody to look worse than Steve Bannon, and to be fair it's really fucking close, but trump does manage to look like a slightly worse, bloated corpse here.

    But he's also a shitty president and a shitty person. Fuck trump. I can't wait to open my bottle of bourbon when it happens.

    Distraction from the war (failure), which is largely a distraction from the Epstein files.

    This is my theory: 1. Trump will try to declare a national emergency at the end of September or early October in order to stop the midterms from happening due to the ongoing “conflict” with Iran or any other geopolitical situation that he has caused himself. 2. The midterms will still take place, although it will be heavily scrutinized by the right with the possibility of violence toward people on the left on election day. 3. The midterms will heavily favor the Democrats leading to a total wipeout for Republicans in all states as a result the Republicans will cry foul and that they were cheated, causing immediate January 6 style riots all over the country and possibly even the capital again. 4. Regardless of the results of the midterms, Trump will use their results too justify him running in 2028 and at the beginning of next year he will do everything in his power to get the Supreme Court and anybody else to stand behind his presidential run and next summer, he will immediately pivot into campaigning. 5. While I do believe it is over for Trump and the Republicans, there’s always that small what if. If he manages to stay alive until 2028 I have that saddening feeling that there is a very good possibility he could win again. I will happily eat my own words on all of this, after it’s just a theory…stay safe and informed everyone.

    2016, Obama was president: Trump thinks that there were no problems with the elections.

    2018, Trump was president: Trump doubts the legitimacy of the midterm elections

    2020, Trump was president: Trump thinks that the elections were rigged.

    2022, Biden was president: Trump has no complaints about the elections and calls it a "great night".

    2024, Biden was president: Trump does not doubt the legitimacy of the elections.

    2026, Trump is president: Trump thinks that the midterm elections are going to be rigged.

    I think that I am starting to see a pattern forming.

    Can we get him arrested for "winning" 3x? Make him deny it publication to stay out of jail or something like that.

    they’re gonna claim “term” means something longer than 4 years; biden got in illegally; therefore trump would still be in his first term.

    No, dimwit. Even if you live that long you can’t run again.
