Donald Trump’s appointment of John Phelan, a private investment firm chairman with no military experience, as Secretary of the Navy has sparked backlash from some of his supporters on Truth Social.

    He’s not going to win a third term. And he won’t be able to cheat into a third term. I’m not concerned about that.

    The number of times he’s flown right past that, things he’s said or done that were guaranteed to lose him the election, or get him impeached and removed from office, or at least lose support among his base or Congress, or get him prosecuted, or or or…

    Yeah, at this point, I’m not betting anything or anyone will realistically stop him.

    And if you’re betting on the Constitution blocking him from running again, remember that him being inaugurated is already a violation of the Constitution as an instigator of insurrection against the US government. Nobody is going to stop him. Do you really think it’ll be different in '28? After 4 years of no longer solidifying but outright cementing his judiciary at all levels he can seat? With an executive branch that’s been purged of non-loyal employees?

    He’s been underestimated at every step, except for the 2020 election, the one time he’s truly lost anything. So you really think underestimating him now and expecting norms and laws to keep him in check when they’ve literally never done so is a good idea?!?
