Trump wants a third term as president. He's not kidding. - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : But they are a clear view into how Trump wants to expand his powers and impact election outcomes by disenfranchising millions of eligible voters by any means necessary.
60% : In an interview on Sunday with NBC News, Trump returned to a familiar but alarming fixation -- his desire to stay in office regardless of constitutional constraints.
58% : Most common is a scenario where current Vice President JD Vance would top a 2028 Republican ticket with Trump as his running mate, then step down to let Trump become president again.
48% : But when asked whether he wanted to stay in office beyond Jan. 20, 2029, he said, "I'm not joking." Then Trump added -- ominously for anyone who remembers what happened on Jan. 6, 2021 -- "There are methods [by] which you could do it." Running for a third presidential term would require repealing the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution which clearly states, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.
48% : Trump often sounds more interested in reigning as a king than of serving as a two-term president.
44% : Not yet, but Trump and some Republicans are already working on it.
39% : " Trump sees the presidential seal as an immunity shield from prosecution.
38% : " But after years of playdates with people like President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Trump is ticking every box of authoritarianism.
35% : Trump has as little regard for the truth as he does the Constitution.
34% : And then there's this: In January, Jack Smith, the former special counsel who charged Trump with multiple felonies related to 2020 presidential election interference, wrote in his final report that if not "for Trump's election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.
28% : Last week Trump signed a legally questionable executive order that would give him unprecedented oversight of federal elections; it would require people to show government-issued proof of citizenship to register to vote in a federal election, mandate that mail-in ballots arrive by Election Day, and give the unelected Elon Musk and his tech rats access to state voter rolls.
25% : States that do not comply, Trump said, could lose federal funding.
22% : President Trump says he's not kidding.
