Mike Huckabee Says Trump Can Run for a Third Term, and He Was Chosen as 2024 Campaign Manager
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he will appear on alongside Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night to “explain” how Donald Trump “will be eligible for a 3rd term.”
Huckabee claimed Trump’s critics, including former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats in general, as well as the news media and House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, would make the president eligible to run in the 2024 presidential election. He also said he was “named to head up the 2024 re-election.”
“I’ll be on @seanhannity 2nite @FoxNews at 9pm ET and will explain how @realDonaldTrump will be eligible for a 3rd term due to the illegal attempts by Comey, Dems, and media , et al attempting to oust him as @POTUS so that’s why I was named to head up the 2024 re-election,” Huckabee tweeted.

The president has previously joked about running for president indefinitely. Earlier this year, he tweeted an edited video depicting him campaigning for office forever on a satirical Time Magazine cover. It was based on an actual magazine cover from last year that showed Trump campaign year signs every four years from 2024-2044.
Trump just retweeted this a few days ago:

Huckabee’s tweet came as the House Judiciary Committee held a marathon debate on two articles of impeachment Wednesday ahead of final votes expected on them later in the day. The full House is expected to vote on the articles next week.
Twitter had a field day:
NEWS: Trump Ally to Argue for (Illegal) Third Trump Term on Fox News Program Run By a Trump Adviser
(If you don't think Huckabee got Trump's blessing to splatter this obscene argument all over longtime Trump domestic policy adviser Sean Hannity's TV program, please think again.) https://t.co/sNNey8aO5d

This BS is designed to trigger a silly response. Don’t fall for it. Unless Huckabee hates the Constitution, which he apparently does. No one will honor Trump staying pass the date he is thrown out. Which is Jan 21, 2021. https://t.co/V5o70AVSjh

It's not Huckabee's dismal joke that's so distressing. It's the people in the replies who would be utterly thrilled at Trump discarding the Constitution and running for endless terms in office. This is a cult. https://t.co/wKm7S0C7xJ
