Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

      That won’t change things, another idiot will come along.

      The only solution now is to topple him or render him powerless. Move your asses Americans, we don’t need you to speedrun the dictatorship game.

        Another idiot might come along, but cults of personality like Trump’s are rare. For whatever reason, idiots love Trump the way they haven’t loved anybody since Hitler. Even with Reagan it wasn’t this blind devotion.

        Just look at how much infighting there was in the GOP before Trump came along. If he were gone, that would come back and they’d be tearing themselves apart again.
