Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration.
“You know, FDR 16 years – almost 16 years – he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” The ex-president and GOP presidential frontrunner said to the organization’s annual convention in Dallas, prompting some in the crowd to yell “three!” Politico reported.
Trump has floated a third term in past comments, even mentioning a prolonged presidency while campaigning in 2020. He has also tried distancing himself from this idea, telling Time magazine in April: “I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all. I intend to serve four years and do a great job.”
Man, all those guns, and no one shot him in the face multiple times. What a shame. Damn shame.
That would never happen: These brave 2A champions have completely banned firearms from these conventions for security reasons.
It’s my biggest gripe against the left. Imagine betting your life on a game of football where one side is playing no contact tag rules and the other is playing full lethality death ball rules. We’ll sit here and talk about how they’re not playing fair, but pride parades won’t march with guns. We’ll cry about how horrid it is that they force their religion into our schools but we won’t use the same system to fight it.
The left will die for their beliefs, but the right will kill for them. Only one of those methods leaves survivors.
As the saying goes, “go far enough left and you get your guns back.” It’s not leftists clutching pearls over “gun violence;” it’s privileged centrist liberals (a.k.a. MLK’s “white moderates”) doing that.
