OP link seems to be a real news site, but 1) it’s a video, no full article, and 2) other news sites are saying Trump was making a joke. I don’t agree with Trump “joking” about it, but OP headline seems too certain in the opposite direction. Perhaps “teases” 2028 run would be a far better headline.
> Trump lashes out at 'fake news' and jokes about 2028 presidential run in press gala do-over
> "Just like my presidency, the second time is always better. And the third time is better yet," Trump said, before adding: "I'm only kidding."
> He later doubled down, pulling out a red "Trump 2028" cap and saying he was "pleased to announce my intention to – and this is a somewhat of a scoop – my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States".
So I live in Canada -- Alberta specifically -- a province that's going to be having a referendum in this coming fall on separating from Canada. The provincial government is corrupt and has ties to the Republicans and the separatists are obviously funded and enabled by them as well.[0]
I see what the Americans did in Venezuala, I see they plan to do to Greenland, and I see what's going on around me here in Alberta.
What do I do? I don't mean that as a rhetorical question, it's a genuine open question -- What are my/our options at this juncture?
The American people don't seem to be able or willing to get a handle on this guy and the oligarchs who have aligned around him to put him into power. When I look at the American people I don't see a people who can organize to resist this. I don't see system with people in power who can put a stop to this. I don't see as sort of substantial pushback to this stuff.
So it'll just keep going, and going, and going until it collapses. Will they take me down with them?
