President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is eager to present Donald Trump as a radical Republican who is hostile toward legal limits, constitutional law, democracy, and institutional norms. To an incredible degree, the former president is providing his Democratic rivals plenty of fodder to work with. Politico reported over the weekend, for example: The video of the comments suggested he wasn’t simply joking around. Alas, this was not an isolated comment.
” It was around this time when CNN’s Daniel Dale highlighted the Republican’s shift in tone: “Trump has modified how he talks about staying in office beyond two terms. He used to frame it as a pure media-trolling, libs-triggering joke; this week, he’s been offering an actual reason why he should get more time in office.” I came to a similar conclusion.
