Here we go...

at least Obama will be able to run against him if he is changing the rules
That is the funny part of this. And also the ridiculous part. No. Obama won’t. This will never pass, but the proposal states that any president with terms interrupted can run for consecutive terms. So this would cut out Obama’s chance to run again.

No. They got that covered. You can’t serve more than 2 consecutive terms.

Did they change it? Because originally it was only allowed if you served four years. Then had time between your next term. You could run for consecutive terms.

So another Trump/Biden showdown

Funny enough. Yes. I don’t think Trump will run again. I know Biden won’t. But no way in hell would the gop leave the possibility for another Obama run out there. He has already been in office for 12 years according to some. :)
It would obviously never pass. Constitution is never going to be ratified for something like this.

But I do think it is funny. The last 4 years and Obama's 8 years everyone on the right thought this is the end of the US. We'll never recover. It's over etc. Left does the same thing over Trump. If it is Trump v Biden in 28, that would literally be it. Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas would be better candidates to run this country in 28

It says nothing about 2 "consecutive" terms... it's 2, period.

Section 1: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Haha. You are right in a lot of ways. I had never seen much of a difference despite the president. I did feel and hear the difference with Biden. I see a ton of everyday working class people during each week. They were all hurting. Bad. Rent. Groceries. Etc. I have never heard more complaints the last three years than o have in my life. I know people will complain about trump too, but so far I am not hearing that nearly as much from my clients. It is early.

I have posted this before. Trump, Hillary, Biden and Kamala. Those have been the candidates. That list is awful. Absolutely awful. You certainly have a point about 28. Trump will be 82. Biden 85. Come on fellas. It is time to walk off into the sunset. For the love of god.

It says here once you hit two consecutive terms you are done. But you are allowed to run for two consecutive terms. At least that is how I read it. This is the said proposal unless I am out of date on it. This was from January, so maybe I am behind the times.

I'm also in the insurance space. More commercial and benefits vs personal lines. But I also manage about 25 or so group retirement plans. I am sure as hell hearing the Trump complaints

Well. Mine have been choosing to eat instead of keeping coverage. I feel for the retirement folks. But their accounts will recover soon. I like his focus more on Main Street. That is who is really needs it at the moment. The rich got richer for the last 8 years. By the end of May it will be back where it was three months ago.

Main Street vs Wall Street is not a thing anymore. None of what Trump is doing, outside of China, is a positive for Main Street. Main Street is way too reliant on Wall Street.

And the "markets will recover" is accurate. But it is also a timing thing. A 45 year old doesn't matter too much for. A 67 years old Main Street phamacy owner doesn't have that time. On his feet all day for 40 years, not a job where you just sit in an office. So he does need to retire. Doesn't make a ton of money cause CVS and Walmart and Costco etc etc have just taken over the mom and pop space. But now has to continue working past what he ever should have cause of how erratic and irresponsible (and pointless on every single level) most of these tariffs have been. It doesn't work to cry inflation under Biden but give Trump a pass.

And yea, Wall Street will recover. Could be in a month or a year or 2.5 years. But Main Street does not have that luxury. Mom and pop stores get f*cked and they are done. I do not see how this is a positive focus on Main St other than Trump saying it. None of this benefits Main St.

There are no more than a handful of those types. I would say there are none, but this America, so . . .walgreens to cvs they wiped them all out.

We will see. I can tell you as a fact. No speculation. The last four years didn’t work for the working class. At all. Not any and why Dems went from being in total control to 18 percent approval. And Trump who was left for dead after 1-6 got reelected. That isn’t just a trainwreck but way worse. Period. Those are the facts. Can’t be argued. The rich got richer. The poor got poorer. The middle class shrank. I don’t know if what Trump is doing will help in the long run. But I am glad he is at least saying it. Mentioning Main Street. All is well here. Nothing to see damn sure wasn’t working or correct. And it showed by him winning the popular vote. Proof is in the pudding there.

I had three uncles who owned mom and pop pharmacies. None of them were hurting for money. Ever. One is worth 50 million dollars now. At least. The other two passed. They aren’t making those kind of choices. (Where is my next meal coming from) If he is, well, what the hell happened.

I am not saying Biden did anything good for working class. I voted for Trump 3x. Not because he is good, but because Hilary was worse. Biden had no idea what day it was. And Kamala Harris was an absolute awful train wreck who openly would have loved to have killed both our businesses.

But just cause "Biden was worse" doesn't mean what Trump is doing is good. It's not. But the measuring stick should not be "look at what Biden did". My 2 year old could have done better than Biden and her cabinet would have Kermit the Frog as VP, Grover as Sec of State and Moana as Treasury sec. Biden was non existent and let the ultra left to rub the country.

But the response to Trump being a dumbass should not be "What about Biden". It is irrelevant. TDS has now become Trump supporters supporting him no matter what. It is no longer the left hating everything he does.

And you can replace pharmacy with any other industry. Also, where I am, Long Island NY, the CVS and Walgreens etc took over earlier than they did in other parts of the country. Also assuming based on other posts of yours that you are a few years older than me, which would likely make your uncles a few years older than this client.

Not going to speculate how a pharmacist who owned 1 small town pharmacy could be worth 50m, but I have some ideas. Some ideas legal, some not so much.

You are going to accuse my uncle of doing things illegally. Dear god man. He is just a smart guy who diversified. He didn’t make it just by owning a pharmacy. He used the money he made in a town of 10000 to buy and sell other businesses. He also invested well. He owns about 5000 acres. That is family land mostly. But he bought it off his brothers and my mother. He has tons of blue berry farms. He bought dollar generals. He owned the first pizza delivery place in this small town. Prior to dominoes. And he bought a ton of condos in Florida he sold. He has made a mint in the stock market. Married to the same lady for 60 years and probably never even cheated a dime on his taxes.

The point of what I am saying about Trump is we don’t know. You can speculate that what he is doing won’t be good. And it may not be good in the short run. But you are making a blanket statement after 3 months. You can definitively say Biden sucked. Bad.

I was not accusing him of doing anything illegal. That is why I said some legal some not. If he only owned a pharmacy, then yea. Other investments is different.

I am highly confident what Trump is doing is very bad. Again, China is an exception... But tariffs on Europe and Canada and Israel and other alternatives to China like Cambodia and Laos etc are bad. Short term won't have a huge effect, but it will turn out to not be a victory (though Trump and others will claim it as such). I cannot say it with 100% certainty, but I can with 99.99999%.. And it is not just short term. Short term is only the effects on the market. Long term is the effects of closed mom and pop shops that cannot and will not be able to reopen. That is the issue. IMB, Walmart, Citi Bank, Home Depot... They can hold out whatever they need for as long as they need. Doesn't matter. Joe's corner hardware store cannot. 3-4-5 mos can sink them

99.99999. That is quite a strong prediction. I would give it 70 percent if he heads down the same path. But I don’t think he will. I think a good bit is posturing. We will see. I can give you a 100 percent guarantee. Kicking the can down the road isn’t the answer. What happened the last four years wasn’t the answer. Trying something different may not be either. But we know status quo isn’t sustainable.

I agree the last 4 years was not sustainable. But widespread chaotic tariffs don't curb inflation. They ignite it. It really isn't something that is debatable either. Prices hike from tariffs. The same way 1+1=2. Every time.

I agree. Widespread chaotic tariffs will not curb inflation. But the last tariffs he used worked. So well despite hating everything he did the lefties kept a lot of them in place. I will let the dust settle to see where it finishes. I guess the first time around 1 +1 =4

 
Did they change it? Because originally it was only allowed if you served four years. Then had time between your next term. You could run for consecutive terms.
I worded that incorrectly. You can’t serve a 3rd term after serving 2 consecutive terms. That’ll keep Obama away. Btw, I have no idea if true. Just playing along

You guys may have to wait until Obama gets out of jail. This mess about his chef being drowned may interrupt things.
