*He tried to do exactly that, and his coup d'état would've been successful
if it wasn't for Mike Pence, but unlike last time on January 6, 2029 he
will have** a vice president who will slavishly do exactly as he is told,
and a pet Supreme Court that can't conceive that the current POTUS could
ever do anything wrong. So **at noon on **January 20 2029 when he takes the
presidential oath of office for the third time there will be lots and lots
of people spouting ridiculous reasons why that isn't *really* a violation
of the Constitution, while simultaneously insisting that they love nothing
better than the Constitution. *

*Yes, and that's the only good thing I can say about the Republic Party.  *

*25 years ago that may have been true but today the above statement is
