Will we have a free election in 28? Or even 26?

[Mik]

A military backed coup is theoretically possible in the US, but it won’t be for Trump. You can take that to the bank.

Am with Mik on this.

The Trump Organization has begun selling red hats online with the slogan "Trump 2028" embroidered in bright white along the front, as well as T-shirts with the slogan.

The hats were listed for $50 with the description: "The future looks bright! Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat. Fully embroidered with a snap closure in the back, this will become your new go-to hat."

Well, it could be another Trump.

I heard a hypothesis that Trump likes to imagine the possibility of Trump 2028, and likes to put the possibility out there, so he can feel he's not a lame duck president. So he can act and be treated as if he's not lame duck. Makes sense.

I doubt he’d be treated as a lame duck anyway, at least by the GOP, what with his control over his ~40MM mindslaves.

For the immediate future, will he accept the results of the Canadian election? He's said that the Canadians really want to be part of the US, however this seems a tad controversial, so it's just conceivable that he could be mistaken. Hard to countenance such a thing, I know.

Said no Canadian ever.

@Doctor-Phibes

Trump had better, seeing that his policy of tariffs and other assorted threats against Canadian sovereignty have single-handedly stolen the election from the Conservative Party of Canada and all but ensured a Liberal Party majority on Monday evening.

@Mik

Said no Canadian ever.

I wish. Sadly, there are a few out here who have crawled out from under their rocks thinking the Trump path to salvation is the new and immutable gospel. I expect they will follow the lead of their MAGAt brethren and demand obedience from the majority of the country following Monday’s election. The rather inept premier of Alberta plays to their anger and keeps it stoked.

Trump has been musing about 'nationalizing' the election (though only in certain states, so really taking it over in blue states). He has specifically said that if Congress won't do it, he'll do it by EO.

Now this. Hopefully the courts can save us.
