She’s still dancing around her answers enough to raise red flags, there is no loophole in the 22nd Amendment and it was not written to allow for loopholes.

The answer here is pretty cut and dry, folks: just don’t vote for Republicans. We wouldn’t have to worry about it if folks just didn’t vote for Republicans.

Their gameplan will be:
The 22nd amendment wont matter, the red states will refuse to certify the results due to „fraud“, and then hold a contested election on the house floor, and nominate Trump. Trump will get a 3rd term and the country will be embroiled in a 2nd civil war.

Let me spoil it for you. If he’s alive, he’ll run for a third term and he’ll win, regardless of how the voting goes. It’ll go to the Supreme Court and they’ll declare the 22nd unconstitutional and provide no rationale whatsoever. No one will be able to do anything about it and by that point the National Guard of all fifty states will be federalized and ready to put down any protests that pop up.
Trump will be President until he dies.

Reminder:
There is no such thing as a „third term“.
That’s just an authoritarian takeover and an unconstitutional act. It’s January 6th with paper. If Amy Coney Barrett or any other judicial official can’t just say that simply and clearly, they do not deserve the bench they occupy.

I’ve been saying this from the second Trump was elected: he isn’t going to leave and there won’t be free and fair elections. Hell, I don’t think this last election was fair. He has stated several times, out loud, that they wouldn’t have won without Elon’s meddling.

So here’s TL:DR –

I think it’s pretty clear, since his official store [is selling Trump 2028 hats](https://www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-hat/) and [Trump 2028 shirts](https://www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-shirt/?attribute_pa_size=small&attribute_pa_color=red). But I suppose if Trump is somehow indisposed between now and 2028, one of his gormless children could run using the same merch.
