Marjorie Taylor Greene Offers ‘Dangerous’ Theory On How Trump Will Stay In Power

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday she is “concerned” that President Donald Trump could use war in Iran or elsewhere to stay in power after his second term. (Watch the video below.)

Greene referred to an exchange between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy last summer. The Ukrainian president told Trump that elections were suspended while his country was at war against Russia. That aroused Trump’s interest.

Host Alex Jones cued up the clip.

“So you say, during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump said. “So let me just see. Three and a half years from now, so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

Jones went off on a tangent about Trump’s musing this week about running for prime minister of Israel, but Greene kept to her point.

“So that type of behavior is someone planting an idea over and over and over again,” Greene said. “He constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people’s reactions. But saying it over and over and over again normalizes the idea. And I think it’s incredibly dangerous, and no one should ever accept it. Absolutely, absolutely not. There cannot be a third term, no. That’s against our laws. That’s against the Constitution. There is no third term. And if this country is at war, no, our election should not be canceled, absolutely not.”

Trump’s contemplations of an illegal third term are old hat. But a somewhat novel theory emerged this week of how he might try to pull off staying in the White House by literally staying at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
