Social media hit it with just three words on Friday after President Donald Trump, at a rally, explained that he’s “entitled” to run for president again because he was cheated out of the 2020 victory.
“Cue the meltdowns,” a commenter said.
And, “We’re not doing that.”
Of course, he’s triggered leftists over and over by making the claim, and this time he elaborated by saying it was his right since the 2020 election was “stolen.”

The Guardian said Trump’s joke came at a Thursday rally where he said he has “the right to run again.”
He admitted he thinks “the law says I’m not allowed to run again.”
That’s under the 22nd Amendment’s provision that a president cannot serve three full terms.
But he added, “Well, the one thing is different: they cheated us on the second one because we won it three times. So I think I have the right to run again. I think I have the right to run again because they cheated.”
The crowd applauded.
Trump’s campaign promoters even, at one point, were selling “Trump 2028” hats.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has explained that the president “has a good time … trolling the Democrats.”
Opponents complain that they think he is serious.
