    Does Trump know this ruling could end with Biden legally ordering his assassination? His opponent is President right now.

      I think Trump’s betting on the Supreme Court dragging their feet long enough to where Dark Brandon cannot Dark Brandon, but Trump can just assassinate anyone who says he can’t be a 3rd term president.

        I mean, and this is all alleged mind you, Biden could use the threat to American democracy to assassinate Trump and there are many people who would be okay with that since Trump IS a threat to democracy.
