Newsom Alleges Trump Privately Discussed Third Term, Warns of Constitutional Challenge
WASHINGTON D.C. – California Governor Gavin Newsom publicly revealed details of a February conversation with former President Donald Trump, alleging Trump discussed circumventing constitutional term limits too possibly serve a third presidential term. Newsom’s warning comes amid growing concerns about Trump’s continued influence and repeated questioning of democratic norms.
newsom asserts trump referenced Franklin D. Roosevelt‘s four terms in office during their Oval Office meeting, signaling a possible intent to exceed the two-term limit established by the 22nd Amendment. While Trump has publicly downplayed the prospect of a third run, Newsom argues his private comments and broader pattern of behavior necessitate a proactive response from Democrats to safeguard the integrity of U.S. elections and the constitutional framework. This revelation adds fuel to ongoing debates about the future of American democracy and the potential for challenges to established political boundaries.
According to Newsom, Trump’s ambition extends to replicating the aesthetic of the White House ballroom within his Mar-a-Lago resort, a detail Newsom presented as evidence of a disregard for established standards and norms.
Newsom urged Democrats to “fight fire with fire,” emphasizing the need to actively counter Trump’s potential strategies to bypass the 22nd Amendment. He stressed the importance of vigilance against any attempts to undermine democratic principles, framing Trump’s suggestions as a serious threat that must be addressed.
The former president’s intentions remain uncertain, and the impact of Newsom’s warnings is yet to be seen. However, the governor’s public statements have sparked renewed discussion about the limits of presidential power and the potential for future constitutional challenges.
