Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention
theguardian.com

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration.

“You know, FDR 16 years – almost 16 years – he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” The ex-president and GOP presidential frontrunner said to the organization’s annual convention in Dallas, prompting some in the crowd to yell “three!” Politico reported.

Trump has floated a third term in past comments, even mentioning a prolonged presidency while campaigning in 2020. He has also tried distancing himself from this idea, telling Time magazine in April: “I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all. I intend to serve four years and do a great job.”

Why not educate someone who is earnestly asking? There is so much information and misinformation, just typing "Biden Israel" into Google and expecting full context is hopeless.

That's a very true thing. The problem with search engines anymore. There's so much money in propaganda and misinformation. Getting on and finding real information as opposed to false information can be a daunting task.
