What are Trump's plans for a third term?
We're gonna check in with our good friend, democracy. Gonna give him the old turn your head and cough. How's democracy doing?
In some of his strongest comments yet, President Trump says he's considering his options to serve a third term in office, a breach of the Constitution's two-term limit for presidents.
I'm sorry, considering the option? What, are you trying to order off-menu from the Constitution? Oh, yeah, I see you got a, what do you got, two terms here, but can I get it animal style? What are you gonna do, a third term?
How does that work exactly? In a phone call with NBC, Trump saying, quote, there are methods which you could do it, including possibly urging his vice president, J.D. Vance, to run and then cede power back to Trump. The president saying that's one method, but that there are others, too. Yes.
There are other methods. Did you try one a few years ago? There are other methods for staying in power beyond when you are legally allowed to be there. Historically, some of them involve catapults. Although maybe Trump has something more creative in mind with the Vance thing. Have you guys heard of the movie Face Off? Yeah. So here's how it's going to work. Trump will watch that movie as the military seizes power. Like, what the fuck? I'm sure at which point Chuck Schumer will say, I will allow it. Because in the third term, we think his popularity will go down to the 30s. So aside from the president saying, I'm not leaving... Is there any other image of the shambolic state of our democracy?
Perhaps something that looks like what you might get if you fed the destruction of democracy into an A.I. meme generator. All right. Elon Musk. OK. The richest and most fertile man in the world went to Wisconsin where he came out in a cheese hat before giving million dollar checks to voters in an effort to influence the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin.
Hey, hey.
You know what that's about? You know what that's about, Elon? Their culture is not your costume, Musk. Their people... Do not appropriate their dairy chapeaus. You can really get a sense of the fraying of our democracy by tracing the arc of its symbolic headwear. It's still a tri-corner, but it's not the same. Meanwhile, the process of streamlining our beautiful democracy continues apace. And a couple of months into Trump's second of his, let's say, four to seven terms, he continues to live up to his vaunted apprentice catchphrase, you're fired.
More than 1,300 workers now fired at the Department of Education. The IRS beginning to lay off more than 6,000 employees. The Social Security Administration will cut 7,000 jobs. The U.S. Postal Service will trim its workforce by 10,000.
