Short of amending the Constitution, which Trump does not have the votes for, there is no legal way to get a 3rd term. Trump attempting to stay in office will spark a civil war/revolution.
I teach forensic semiotics and my favorite lecture is about emoji forensics.
None of these people have the experience or knowledge of how to manage this program.

Trump is trashing the US economy to get the government out of the way of him and his super wealthy friends. The rest of us are just cannon fodder.
Since 1981 I have been waiting for tax cuts to trickle down. If you think giving the wealthy free rein will magically make their gains work for you, you probably still believe the Easter Bunny is real.
Trump wants to fully close the southern border. Such an action would cost Americans a loss of $200 million of revenue per day.
It is logically impossible to be anti-establishment and be the leader of the establishment.
Remember, insurance companies only profit off of you when they prevent you from getting the medical care you need.
The perks of having term limits. Assuming they do not engage in a coup d'etat, most try to just wait them out.
I cannot say for certain, but a former FBI agent, turned consultant, informed me he was going to introduce the Capitol Police to my research on January 6th attack, titled the Hero Fallacy Paradox to create a new threat assessment model.
The only reason private sector employers don't want you to share your pay info with your fellow employees is control. It keeps the workforce weak and easier to manipulate into working hard for other people's profits.
Trump doesn't bluff. I would love to play poker with him because he is far too simple to be that devious.
I think it is more lawyers than political scientists. Law is the #1 degree for people involved in politics. Political scientists tend to look at politicians the way a biologist looks at non-human animals.
The 1% didn't make their money making the lives of the working class better. To them, labor is just like any resource they believe exists so they may exploit it for their narrow benefit.
The new billionaire president and the wealthiest cabinet in US history is ushering in a new era of plutocracy. The working class are guaranteed to suffer.

Why do we kiss the ring of the rich? We were sold the lie that if we didn't, our world would collapse. We believed this lie for far too long. We trusted the lie for far too long. At the end of the day, it is still a lie.
True. However, they also cannot define fascism, even in a very basic sense.

I expect our team to be posting here more actively in the coming months.
Inspired by his tough-guy bravado and promises to expel immigrants from the US, the German far-right has projected onto Trump a “fantasy of ethnonational power” they seek to replicate.
I have never been a fan of Trump, nor did I vote for him.
You don't seem mentally healthy. I'm not a Republican, nor a suppprter of Trump. How are you not getting this?
Fuck no!
