      I don’t think there will be an ‘after Trump term’ unless he passes while in office. Dictators don’t usually leave office.

        He said he shouldn’t have left in 2020. He figured if he had stay they couldn’t have physically remove him. He is going try it this time.

        I think there will be, but it will be a putin-medvedev where trump steps down and becomes voice president but maintains control without breaking the rules. He will organise a succession for his favoured candidate as well

      Yes, if trump ever leaves office alive or doesn’t get an instant pardon from the next guy.

      Those are two very big ifs
