Trump "In 4 years you won't have to vote again."

[noname223]

Can he be less explicit of wanting to abolish US democracy as we know it? Lol. Is this his new strategy? It will give media attention for sure.

Trump: "You have to get out and vote. You won't have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won't have to vote again."

the "context" that conservatives are scrambling to put forth is that trump is gonna fix things in the next four years so they don't have to worry about voting so much in the next poll. but, uh, after trying to overthrow the election and all... really bad choice of words, trump.

also, this clip of pence getting popular at the same time is cinema.

Presidential term limits in the United States were established by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. The amendment was passed by Congress on March 21, 1947, and was ratified by the required number of states on February 27, 1951.

FDR was elected four times in the US.

Just some interesting historical context that a lot of people often forget

Reminds me of that part of the Watchmen where Nixon repels presidential term limits and is repeatedly re-elected.

I saw a speech by Hitler during the election campaign and even he talked about leaving power after 4 years if he won, he is reaching a stellar level.

Those are are just empty words spoken to hype up a crowd, like everything the man says. I don't doubt that if he could, he'd get elected again and write the "you can't vote us out because we're the legendary defenders of America" law, and win politics. But he can't do that, not just because of the rules of the establishment, but also that he wouldn't be smart enough to pull it off anyway.
