The lawsuit claims that these statements were "knowingly false and
intended to harm Mr. Trump?s reputation and influence," particularly
during a period when Trump is actively campaigning for a 2028 reelection.
Wait, what? He can't be elected to a third term, not without a change in
the Constitution.
Trump and Bannon stupidly think they have some way around that. Without doubt Trump cannot be the nominee for president in 2028. Is there some other dirty subterfuge they might try, e.g. Trump is Vance's running mate and after winning the presidency, Vance resigns and Trump becomes president? Probably can't happen. The amendment says that a person may not be elected president after having been elected twice or having served more than half a term in addition to being elected once. But if ineligible to be elected president again, he would be
ineligible to *serve* as president again.
I think it's all moot. Trump will be dead before *this* term concludes.
