CNN contributor Lulu Garcia-Navarro said Friday on CNN’s “The Arena” that talk and trolling about a potential third term for term-limited President Donald Trump has been “incredibly triggering” for Democrats.
Amid speculation about Trump seeking a third term — from which he is constitutionally ineligible — the president posted a meme on Truth Social on Sunday showing a campaign yard sign with various years and ending with “Trump 4eva.” While discussing the online jokes and a recent comment from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, Garcia-Navarro said she didn’t believe the conversations were simply “trolling.”
“You know, what I will say is that this is incredibly triggering to Democrats. And people use the word trolling. I don’t know that this is trolling necessarily. What I would say is that this doesn’t come out of a vacuum. I mean, this was a president who tried to launch an insurrection on January 6,” Garcia-Navarro said.

“This is a president who’s still trying to litigate the 2020 election. This is a president who is putting people in positions of power that has to do with our next election, too, that are election deniers. I mean … there are many things that could lead one to believe that it is not beyond the realm of possibility,” Garcia-Navarro added. “We wouldn’t be saying this if this were [former President Joe] Biden. We wouldn’t be saying this if this were [former President Barack] Obama.”
During an interview with The Economist released Thursday, Bannon told reporters he believes Trump will go for a third term in order to “finish” what the party has started.
“I know this will drive you guys crazy, but [Trump] he’s a vehicle of divine providence. He’s an instrument. He’s very imperfect. He’s not churchy, not particularly religious, but he’s an instrument of divine will,” Bannon said. “You could tell this of how he’s pulled this off. We need him for at least one more term, right? And he’ll get that in 28.”
Despite speculation about the president running for another term, the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, states that “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”
However, in March, law professor and ABC News contributor Kim Wehle suggested the Supreme Court may allow another chance for Trump in the next presidential election, following the high court’s ruling that Colorado, Maine and Illinois could not remove him from the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
Trump previously addressed the speculation of a third term in March with NBC’s Kristen Welker, saying that while he’s heard “a lot of people” want him to run, he’s “focused on the current” administration.
“I’m not joking,” Trump said during the interview. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

Ms Pelosi was asked by President Trump in January 2021, if she would agree to allow the home guards in to take control of a potentially explosive situation. Her and her Democrat colleagues refused point-blank. The question is WHY?
Who then are the real and actual traitors here?????
In my opinion why would DJT want to run again? He made his mark now its up to the next president. God forbid its a lefty America hating tramp. Vance is not a shoe in. Dude will have to earn it.
Depends on who is left alive by November 2028. They are now hunting Obama’s spooks so this will be a war to the last man. Can’t imagine it’s any different in GB/Ireland. I wouldn’t recommend any more public appearances until the fat man sings. Populism versus communism. Take your pick.
My gawd, no wonder people have TDS. This CNN drivel is nothing but “bash Trump” with EVERY SENTENCE… in upTALK, no less.
“Trump Third Term” can mean “Don Jr. running, or JD Vance (or anyone) running, winning & continuing Trump’s policies.”
Just like Biden’s winning was Obama’s Third Term.
Also, does anyone else wonder who Tom is talking to?
Not as bad as the irish being triggered atm. Only about 35p of the people turned out for the presidential election and around 10pc of the votes were spoiled meaning a communist known as the woke bitch of the west will become president. As I said, the irish electoral system is rigged. To get nominated to run for president in ireland, their senate have to select the candidates…lmao. Democracy is freemasonic and the illusion of choice. Its plain as day now what it is after this.
From checking the lady out, it seems she stood as an Independent and is not particularly enamoured with the the UK or EU for that matter. Her politics are said to be Far Left, but I have my doubts. Probably more like my good-self, an ethnonationalist with socialist leanings.
Ethnonationalists are not too fond of being herded into an ’empire’ where the rules are dictated by its ruling autocrats and there is no room for expressions and practices supporting individual national sovereignty and self-determination.
