Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump said he’s “not joking” about serving a third term in the White House — and thinks there’s a loophole to make it happen.

Trump, 78, told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a Sunday morning phone call that “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Trump claimed that “there are methods which you could do it,” including having Vice President JD Vance, 40, run for president with Trump as his vice president. Vance would then resign to allow Trump to regain the top job.

“But there are others too,” Trump said, without elaboration.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, says “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” — allowing for the potential loophole of Vance resigning in Trump’s favor.

“I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration. I’m focused on the current,” the president said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’” HERE)

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump revealed he’s “not joking” about running for a third term during a Sunday phone call with NBC News’s Kristen Welker. . .

“I’m focused on the current,” the president continued.

“I’m not joking,” Trump clarified. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump added, responding to a question on if he has embraced plans to seek reelection for a third term. Seeking a third term, however, is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution.

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” the amendment states. (Read more from “Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term” HERE)

How Congress Can Kick Illegal Immigrants off Medicaid — and Save U.S. Billions

/0 Comments/in , /by

With one stroke, Congress can deliver on three of President Trump’s biggest priorities: Discourage illegal immigration, reform a broken welfare program and save taxpayers billions.

It can all be done if Republicans roll back Medicaid for illegal aliens in their coming reconciliation bill.

As we show in our new report for the Foundation for Government Accountability, migrants have been allowed and even encouraged to abuse Medicaid — at enormous cost to Americans.

Medicaid was created for low-income citizens and lawful residents. But for more than a decade, and especially under Joe Biden, states have corrupted the program by letting it cover illegal immigrants, too.

This creates an obvious incentive to enter the US illegally, since foreigners know they can get health care on the taxpayers’ dime.

It also pushes vulnerable Americans, including the elderly and people with disabilities, to the back of the line for care. Often, they’re stuck behind able-bodied adults who shouldn’t be in this country at all. (Read more from “How Congress Can Kick Illegal Immigrants off Medicaid — and Save U.S. Billions” HERE)

Woman Whose MAGA Hat Meltdown, Subway Wipeout Went Viral Is an ‘Extremely Liberal’ Luxury-Brand Specialist, Dual Citizen

/0 Comments/in , /by

The woman who received “instant karma” after berating a President Trump supporter on the subway — and then face-planting on the platform after trying to grab his “Make America Great Again” hat — is an increasingly “agitated” creative director for several luxury brands, The Post has learned.

Alberta Testanero, a 55-year-old dual Italian-American citizen, went viral for the caught-on-video incident on the 6 train in Midtown last week after branding the MAGA fan “uneducated” and a “racist.”

Testanero has gone off the deep end when it comes to politics, a former colleague claimed. “She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,” the one-time coworker told The Post. . .

A freelance creative director and branding specialist who has worked with posh outfits like Tiffany & Co., Coach, Bergdorf Goodman and Kate Spade, Testanero prides herself on “maintaining the highest standards,” according to her online profiles. . .

[During the subway confrontation last week, some] bystanders urged Testanero to leave the guy alone. “That’s why he won, because of people like you,” a rider chimed in.

Trump, DOGE, American People Win Big, Activist Judges Take the ‘L’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Another major win just dropped—and this one’s a direct hit against activist judges trying to play lawmaker from the bench and a huge victory for DOGE.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a stay on a lower court’s activist ruling that tried to block Elon Musk and others from exposing corruption inside USAID. So, what does this mean? Well, it’s was a very big “not so fast” to judicial overreach—and a solid victory for President Trump’s DOGE plan and mostly the American people who deserve a country free from fraud and bloat. . .

This latest decision is more than just a legal technicality—it’s a total slapdown of the radical activist bench that’s been running wild, inserting progressive politics where law and order should rule. The Fourth Circuit didn’t dance around the issue. They got straight to the heart of the problem: these lower court judges are assuming powers they don’t have and stepping way outside the limits of Article III.

Trump’s Letter To Brutal Regime Provokes Accusations Of Causing ‘Breach Of Promises’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s president on Sunday rejected the idea of direct negotiations with the U.S. in the Islamic regime’s first public response to the letter President Donald Trump previously sent to the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“The response by the Supreme Leader to Trump’s letter was delivered to the U.S. contact in Oman by our brother Dr. Araghchi. In that response, direct negotiations have been rejected,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said. “But, regarding indirect talks, Iran has always been involved in such talks and the Supreme Leader has emphasized that indirect talks can still continue.” (Read more from “Trump’s Letter To Brutal Regime Provokes Accusations Of Causing ‘Breach Of Promises'” HERE)

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to back out of a critical minerals deal, warning the Ukrainian leader would face big problems if he did.

“He’s trying to back out of the rare earth deal and if he does that he’s got some problems, big, big problems,” Trump told reporters.

“He wants to be a member of NATO, but he’s never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that.” (Read more from “President Trump Hits Zelensky With Stern Warning as He Threatens to Back Out of Rare Mineral Deal” HERE)

Trump ‘Very Angry’ With Putin, Threatens Tariffs on All Russian Oil

/0 Comments/in , /by

US President Donald Trump said Sunday he was “very angry, pissed off” with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, NBC reported, marking a sharp change of tone as Washington seeks to end the war in Ukraine.

NBC’s Kristen Welker said Trump had called her to express his anger over Putin questioning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s future as a leader — something that Trump himself has done.

Welker, on her NBC show “Meet The Press” on Sunday, quoted directly from an early-morning telephone conversation with the president.

Trump said that “if Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault” then he would impose “secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia.”

Welker said Trump told her “I was very angry, pissed off” over Putin’s recent comments about Zelensky’s credibility and talking about new leadership in Ukraine. (Read more from “Trump ‘Very Angry’ With Putin, Threatens Tariffs on All Russian Oil” HERE)

The Strategy Behind Trump’s Looming NATO Withdrawal? A New Global Order

/4 Comments/in , /by

Recent speculation suggests Donald Trump may withdraw from NATO, while few have explored the reasons he might pursue that path.

Yes, abandoning America’s longtime security framework in Europe aligns with promises to cut spending and avoid foreign entanglements — but the motivations run deeper than that.

It’s about restructuring the global order.

The U.S. is pivoting toward a more transparently transactional alliance system, one centered on regional powers that can do the heavy lifting while Washington plays arbiter.

The new security and economic bloc forming before our eyes looks like it will involve Russia, Turkey, and Israel. (Read more from “The Strategy Behind Trump’s Looming NATO Withdrawal? A New Global Order” HERE)

Judge Blocks Part of Trump’s DEI Executive Order, Calls It a ‘Coercive Threat’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Yet another federal judge has blocked a portion of one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders, arguing that his directive to terminate government contracts with all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs is a “coercive threat.”

Judge Matthew F. Kennelly of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois signed a memorandum opinion and order on Thursday in favor of a Chicago-based nonprofit that promotes “diversity, equity, and inclusion within the skilled trades industry.”

The organization, Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT), receives roughly 40 percent of its annual budget from the federal government, according to the document.

In a 46-page civil lawsuit filed in February, a month after Trump signed EO 1415, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” and EO 14173, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.”

As a result of Trump’s orders, CWIT received notices from the Department of Labor (DOL) Women’s Bureau and the Illinois DOL about grants they were funding, stating that all recipients of federal financial assistance are directed to cease all activities related to DEI “effective immediately,” and that the department was “reviewing all active federal awards and will take appropriate action, including terminating the awards, consistent with the Executive Orders.” (Read more from “Judge Blocks Part of Trump’s DEI Executive Order, Calls It a ‘Coercive Threat’” HERE)

Trump More Popular Than Ever – Percentage of Americans Who Think Country Is on the Right Track ‘Through the Roof,’ Says CNN Analyst

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s popularity is at a record high as the largest share of Americans in decades believe the country is on the right track, according to new polling data.

While the president’s current net-favorable rating is in the negatives — at -4 percentage — he is making steady progress in the right direction. It’s far better than the -10 point rating he had in March 2017 and the -7 point rating Americans gave him after the November election, according to aggregate polling compiled by CNN analyst Harry Enten.

Enten gave the network’s lefty viewers a “reality check” this week with the new poll numbers, showing Trump has a higher favorability rating now than at any point in his first term.

“All we talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is,” Enten began. “But in reality, he’s basically more popular than he was at any point in term number one and more popular than he was when he won the election back in November of 2024.”

“So when you compare Trump against himself, he’s actually closer to the apex than he is to the bottom of the trough,” the CNN analyst explained. “And of course, that’s so important because Donald Trump, historically speaking, has had his numbers underestimated.” (Read more from “Trump More Popular Than Ever – Percentage of Americans Who Think Country Is on the Right Track ‘Through the Roof,’ Says CNN Analyst” HERE)
