Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…

    He just said there are ways and I mean he could run as vp and then Pres could resign etc. so yeah I mean he can’t “directly” run again.

      Apparently, any and all blatantly false national emergency declarations just sail right through any checks and balances. Martial law is just as easy. Surely a fentanyl tweaker Mexican anti fa supporter will be accused of rape at some point.

      It’s important to note that even in that scenario, he’s limited to a total of 10 years. If he would take over from a VP position, he could exceed 10 total years as POTUS.

      Whatever “limited” means in the current state of things is another question.

      I fully expect him to try to change something, pull some underhanded thing like the VP switcheroo, or even try another insurrection (why not, he wasn’t punished for the last one? ) but as of right now he can’t run again.
