Just heard an interview on BBC radio this morning with an American explaining that there are avenues for Trump to do this by abusing the line of succession. It sounds like they want to appoint him as Speaker of the House and then have the president and vice president abdicate.
You're getting too technical.
The real simple solution is to...
Step 1: Say you're running for president
Step 2: Win primary unopposed
Step 3: Appear on national ballot unopposed
Step 4: Announce that you have won
Step 5: Anyone who claims you didn't win is in violation of the Abolish Woke Act of 2027 and subject to indefinite detention
Yeah, you're not wrong, that's another path. Full blown authoritarianism.

Reminds me of when there was a Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev who I think was just a puppet until Putin decided there was no point in pretending.
Yes, exactly. They used Medvedev as an example.

It’s like the more backwards, upside down and wrong it seems, the more serious he actually is.
Especially “covefefe”. Never forget!
B.Y.O.B from System of a Down playing in my head on loop rn
Who up getting they lies fed from the tablecloth?
Obama has entered the chat
He doesn’t lie about what he wants to do.
He lies about his accomplishments.
It’s been like this since his first term. He’s not lying about invading Greenland or punishing Canada into being the 51st state. He absolutely wants to. Assuming (hopefully) that both these endeavors never materialize, he will claim that these threats accomplished some other goal that was made up on the spot. Which will be a lie.
And you thought Alex Garland's Civil War movie was fiction.
While it is an interesting question, I don't actually want to find out how many tanks the Supreme Court has. 'Lots' is bad, 'None' is far worse.
Yeah. The method involves suspending the constitution.
He needs to be driven out of office, like now.
They've already installed a guy that hasn't been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They're breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.
it’s already done for, the us government that is. I don’t believe we can come back from this, it’s calvinball from here on. rules don’t apply anymore, it’s just vibes and whims of a ketamine fueled nazi and his geriatric anger sycophant.
Maybe after it's all done we can make some new rules that make more sense

He doesn't care about court orders or rule of law. It is possible for him to try it. It is amazing he can say stuff like openly, no pushback from his base. He is pushing people to their limits something will have to give.
no pushback from his base
They wouldn't be his base if they were going to push back. The Republicans who don't like Trump have already fled to the Democrat Party (which is now thoroughly infested with Neocons) while the Dems that decided they are cool with Fascism are increasingly defecting to the Republican Party.
We're self-sorting into Fascist Extra Strength and Can't Believe It's Not Fascist: Imitation Patriotism.
Hopefully it involves a gun and an orange man's head
We know, he said so before the election. You’d have to be a fucking gigantic moron of an idiot to not understand that. And still Americans voted for him.
Well they actually want him to be king / dictator lmao
It reminds me of the George Washington story. After they defeated the brits a bunch of people wanted to make him king... after they just got done sailing 3000 miles and almost a decade of war just to GET RID OF HAVING A KING. (and other stuff) The baboons that wanted that are this same voter base.
Well, Americans think it’s going to make their life easier, if you don’t need to vote anymore.
Why vote again when you already have the best anyway. Just a waste of time and taxpayers money if you ask me. /S
