Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to wreck the economy for an unconstitutional third term.
In a phone interview with Kristen Welker this weekend, Trump vaguely floated that there were “methods” for him to seek a third term and claimed that “a lot” of people want him to ignore the Constitution and run again. In the same conversation, he made his priorities crystal clear—when asked about his reckless tariffs driving up car prices, he smugly declared he “couldn’t care less.”
Let’s be clear, Trump’s economic record is a disaster. He ended his first term as the only president in modern history to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started. Just two months into his second term, his policies wiped out $4 trillion in post-election stock market gains. And now, he’s already scheming for a third term to finish bleeding middle-class families dry so billionaires like him can keep cashing in.
“Donald Trump already wrecked the economy once, now he’s well on his way to doing it again by slapping huge, unnecessary tariffs on some of our closest trade allies – and he doesn’t even care if the finances of American families are a casualty of his trade war. The only thing on his mind is the power to hand tax breaks to billionaires like himself while working families foot the bill,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Brandon Weathersby. “Trump doesn’t care about your paycheck, your kids’ future, or your retirement plans. He only wants to finish what he started in his first term: squeezing every last dollar from working families while billionaires like him laugh all the way to the bank.”
