A big problem is the media asks him these types of things as if the premise is sound. They never say, for instance, “You are constitutionally prohibited from running again or of being on a ballot. Do you not agree that saying otherwise is a violation of your oath of office?” Instead it’s “You haven’t ruled out running for a third term. How would you do that?” Regardless, he will be long dead in 2028.
Ken, you are correct about our-no-longer-independent media. It would be a great start if they reported on his actions rather than his incoherent words. We don't need his 'opinion' on anything. Reporters should report on what he and his fellow-criminals are doing to the country, not on their moods and whims and vengeful comments.
Yes, and may I reiterate that even the indy Contrarian dressing up a king's robe on Trump's hairpiece with AI only reinforces his designs on kingship. The platform that prints Azza Cohen's "Split Screen" column detailing the power of imagery should surely know better than to repeat a trope, even in jest.
You are committing the exact same error in logic that you accuse others of -- making statements untethered to reality in support of your opinion and then treating those opinions as facts.
Yeah, this is just a rehash of the hit article he did after the biggest peaceful demonstration in American history. I guess he didn't read the comments, because nobody liked it. I won't be reading Phillips anymore. Didn't read this one either.
Trump is definitely not going to leave office willingly. His lies on the campaign trail about not knowing anything about the planned destruction of our government by Russell Vought, should have been a heads up to all voters. Anyone who thinks the Republican Party is going to abide by the constitution, needs a to start taking seriously, the current takeover of our government. Tuesday was a beacon of hope that at least some are starting to realize this. The Contrarian is so important at the moment, because of the refusal of corporate media to report Trumps actions and their editing of all coverage that they give him. We have a daunting task as citizens, to hold our government accountable for their misdeeds, and our vote is our weapon. Our voices in protest are also equally important. Democracy will end in this country if we let this happen. The choice is dictatorship or a free nation.
I’d say the elections on Tuesday showed that the No Kings protests generated and/or revealed REAL momentum against this abominable administration and Trump himself. Nothing “faux” about that.
I agree we need to take any suggestion of a 3rd term for the demented rapist felon very seriously indeed. Having said that, it is my fervent hope that he dies long before 2028. By the end of the year would be a great Christmas present for the country.
“This week, The Telegraph published an article detailing what the proposed plan could entail. There was a suggestion about exploiting a loophole by having Trump run as a vice-presidential candidate, with the hope that the Republican presidential candidate would win and then step aside, allowing Trump to take over. Although this scheme would be complicated by the 12th Amendment, given Trump’s history, the legalities involved are hardly something Americans should trust as a guardrail.”
Complicated? The 12th amendment outright prohibits the plan.
Mr. Phillips, when Trump leaves office in January 2029 I expect to see an article from you in The Contrarian explaining how you got this so wrong. Trump, as usual, is trolling the Left.

If I get you right, KnockKnockGreenpeace, you seem to be saying that America has a very serious problem.?!
How could this have possibly happened??!!
Contrarian, please don't use AI-generated art; that is not why we're here.
"the faux momentum from that day is all but dead"

That was some faux momentum that we saw Tuesday.

An inevitable “return to norm” is NOT on the horizon.
America is going to have to fight like a wet cat to get it's democracy back.
