Trump 2024? How horrific is that thought? Especially since it’s not allowed per the U.S. Constitution.
The idea is more enticing after Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“After tonight’s #DemocraticDebate…….that whole Trump 3rd term thing is looking better and better,” South Carolina’s senior senator wrote in a tweet Wednesday night.
Graham, who during the 2016 campaign called Trump a “jackass” and said he was “not fit to be President,” has become one of the president’s biggest defenders. He posted the tweet after the first night of NBC’s back-to-back Democratic presidential debates.
After tonight’s #DemocraticDebate [1]…….that whole Trump 3rd term thing is looking better and better.

Graham’s tweet came minutes after Trump posted, for the second time, an edited video based on a TIME magazine cover that shows a Trump campaign yard sign that reads “Trump 2024” and other signs in the background, with the years increasing by four-year increments. The video ends with a yard sign that depicts Trump being president forever.

The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution limits an elected president to two four-year terms in office.
Twitter had some thoughts:
Lindsey Graham likes to “joke” about Trump serving more than two terms. Well, let me just remind this phony US Senator that he is “joking” about the Constitution. And that’s just disgraceful. Another new low for Donald Trump’s little lapdog. #LindseyGrahamResign [5]

A Senator should not joke about this. https://t.co/VNF6NQAP0G [7]

Trump understands nothing. He will not understand this as a joke. It's dangerous and fuels his egomania.
But to be clear, there are much bigger reasons for #LindseyGrahamResign [5]. https://t.co/Gea0CNf11O [11]— Josh Levs (@JoshLevs) June 27, 2019 [12]

You disgust me. Joking about the Constitution.
You do not represent South Carolinians like myself, and that behavior will not fly with me. Hopefully Sen. McCain is haunting your ass every day just as much as Trump. #LindseyGrahamResign [5] https://t.co/F1qpn755Le [15]
