what makes you come to that conclusion? Because some people here don't agree, that everything the Trump administration does, is the bees knees? I have no hate for America, I have however a disdain for that pack of grifters, liars, gaslighters and conmen in the current administration. I think your countrymen, who have that same disdain and who fight back against the administration overstepping their powers, also don't hate America. They love America, just not in your preferred flavor, which seems to be boot.

Yet it is interesting to see how many people identify themselves with Trump, and Trump with America.

It is said that Putin is Russia and Russia is Putin-Can you say the same about Trump ?

He is all over the news when our news channel and newspaper are reporting from USA-Which makes one wonder if Trump is USA and USA is Trump.

By the way-I do not dislike USA-I wish I had the money for a transatlantic cruise and take a tour de America in a rented RV.

Our 'leaders', well. We all have representative democracies and it is seldom funny and mostly embarrasing what the elected 'leaders' do, until one realizes they have to make compromises.
I guess and hope Europe has learned its lesson. I also think Europe can defend itself, it has to build up fast though.
Wish you all the best, I still hope your health improves.

Why? Just because you MAGA-people hate everything that isn't white, male, old, straight and cis?

So what was I doing standing guard on the Fulda Gap for three years keeping the Soviets at bay? Oh that's right you love Russia so you probably wanted their tanks to roll right into Paris.

Trump running a third term as President, could it be possible ?

Here a Danish expert on American politics give some ideas to how Trump can run for a third term

Quote:

At first glance, the simplest (and least creative) way to get around the constitution is to change it.

The 22nd Amendment states that 'no person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice.'

The problem with amending the Constitution, however, is that it is somewhat difficult. A constitutional amendment requires both two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-quarters of the states (38 out of 50) to vote in favor.

The Republicans are nowhere near having such a large majority in either the House or the Senate, just as Trump only won 31 states in the 2024 election.

In reality America was saving Europe several times already. I thought people playing Silent Hunter would know it well :03:

But yeah, in movies America always saves the world, it is so common that it became funny film trope already: :D

I was thinking the same-It would be (almost)impossible for him to run for a third term.

The question could be-What will he do or what have he in mind, when he comes to the conclusion that he is finish as the President in Jan. 2028 ?
