Trump Talk

The discussion centers on the feasibility and implications of Donald Trump pursuing a third term as president.  Matt explains the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms, and dismisses various hypothetical scenarios, such as running as vice president or Speaker of the House, as impractical and unconstitutional. Matt argues that Trump’s comments are likely driven by ego rather than a serious intent, noting that such a move would harm his legacy and public perception. The conversation also touches on the potential impact of Trump’s actions on media coverage and public opinion, concluding that any benefits to Trump are outweighed by the negative consequences.
