Splashed all over the news today is Trump declaring victory over Harris as 47th American president. But, one of the big questions is, keeping in mind Trump was mightily ‘pissed off’ after losing to Biden in 2020, can he run again?
Well, the 22nd amendment of the US Constitution states ‘No’! Only two terms, that’s it! But constitutional amendments can be repealed. Look at Vladimir Putin of Russia or Xi Jinping (China) or the ‘Supreme Leader’ of Iran!
Because, that’s what America has voted for!
Since losing office to Joe Biden, Trump has sown the seeds and fanned the flames of discontent and radicalism.
And Trump’s threat to deploy the US military against anyone who protests against his will as president, will become the reality, in the US.
The ‘honeymoon period’ for Trump, however, is not likely to last until inauguration and the internal divides and frustrations will bubble up.
But Trump is just the man to suppress them and make America more isolationist, more unreliable, and very, very dangerous.
This second Trump term is going to be very different from his first chaotic four years with large sections of the press labelling his far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political philosophy – fascism!
