We are not even past the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term and the left-wing politicians and media have their hair ablaze about a hypothetical Trump third term.
The left-wing political/media class often counsels itself to not give Trump excessive coverage. They call upon themselves to focus on the BIG issues and not be distracted by every controversial statement.
But … they cannot help themselves. They have stepped into the LaBrea Tar Pit of obsessive resistance to anything Trump — and cannot extract themselves. That is obvious in their overreactions to Trump suggesting that there may be a constitutional path or two to a third term. The left-wing media echo chamber has spent hundreds of hours and reams of print to respond to the fantastical third term narrative.
Already the evergreen resistance movement is gearing up for a fight over an all but impossible third time. Trump threw some chum in the water and the liberal sharks are in a feeding frenzy.
The debate as to whether there is a theoretical means by which a two-term President can achieve a third term would be interesting as an academic debate as part of a constitutional law course. For all practical purposes, however, it is meaningless academic calisthenics. It is the equivalent of arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
This is a short commentary because the subject is not worth a lot of attention. It just makes me laugh to see all those overcharged left-wingers make such fools of themselves – or, more accurately, allowing Trump to make fools of them.
So. there ‘tis.
