Another day, another example of Donald Trump vigorously stoking the fires of controversy by threatening to violate the very constitution he swore to protect.
Readers may be aware of the somewhat worrying murmurings suggesting that the POTUS is eyeing another run for presidency in 2028. This, of course, is impossible according to the US constitution, which expressly forbids an individual from seeking a third time in the White House.
But since when has Trump ever done things by the book? The answer you’re looking for is hardly ever, if at all.
While finding a way to defy the hallowed constitution by putting himself at the helm of the country for a third time would be shocking even by Trump’s standards, the 78-year-old has already started dropping hints that that’s exactly what he will attempt to achieve.
Inside their relationship
Donald Trump and Pope Francis didn’t always see eye to eye — and while their relationship eventually turned frosty, it actually started off on a surprisingly positive note.
Back in 2013, long before Trump entered the White House, he had nothing but praise for the newly elected pontiff. “The new Pope is a humble man, very much like me, which probably explains why I like him so much!” Trump tweeted in December of that year. It was classic Trump — equal parts compliment and self-promotion.
But the honeymoon didn’t last.
