DONALD TRUMP SAID he gets to host the World Cup and 2028 Olympics because “they rigged the election”.

The president told a reception of the international football governing body Fifa in New York he “was supposed to not be here right now”, in reference to the second and final four-year term he would have served if he had won the 2020 election.

Trump’s comments come after he renewed claims in a prime-time TV address to the nation on Thursday that the White House race he lost to Joe Biden had been stolen from him, despite evidence to the contrary.

The president told a reception of the international football governing body Fifa in New York he “was supposed to not be here right now”, in reference to the second and final four-year term he would have served if he had won the 2020 election.

Wait.....so he DOES understand that there are 2 term limits! He keeps talking about 2028, and I'm like "Uhhhh, no. 2028 isn't an election you can even run in!"

I was begining to think he thought he could run for a 3rd term. So now, if he tries anything to undermine our government presidential term limit, we'll know right from the start that he knows he's being corrupt.

I still fully expect him to try to stay president in 2028, but also now we can point at video from this interview, as proof that he understands the concept of presidential term limits.

You seem to think he can’t shift the goalposts to whatever is expedient for his current thought.

What the last 10 years should have taught us is that nothing he says holds any integrity with anything he’s said prior.

What the last 10 years should have taught us is:

  1. A third of Americans are racist, greedy, morons, poorly educated or criminal.
  2. A third of Americans can't be bothered to do their civic duty to be informed and vote intelligently and they will just go along with the loudest lies.
  3. A third of Americans who are paying attention, and are intelligently voting, must do a whole lot more than just protest, voice opinions and/or write letters.

How did knowing and having evidence of Trump being corrupt help with anything hes done until now?

"it's only regarding two consecutive terms" or something.
