Sooooooooo, we as a nation have ALREADY just given up that trump can and will run for a 3rd term? I always said he'll try to force a loophole. So far he's done nothing of the sort. No loophole has been established. There is from a legal standpoint no reason to think he can currently run for a 3rd term.

Yet all across the internet I keep seeing people talk about it like it's inevitable. Like we're just going to skip the two term limit, and just pretend he found the loophole, because otherwise he'll drag us through some bullshit to get there. So now, rather than challange him at all, we as a society have already given up, 2 years before the election even happens. We've come to accept that laws and constitution mean nothing. Trump is just going to run for a 3rd term. That's just how it is. Laws don't matter. Government doesn't matter.

And who exactly decided all this? I for one plan on repeatedly challenging his ability to run for a 3rd term.
