and that his second consecutive term was stolen from him illegally, and he therefore has a right to correct the error, and he will run in 2028.
You will begin hearing about two consecutive elections / terms in relation to the 22nd Amendment more and more, and especially if the GOP holds either the House or the Senate in 2026. It will become a common phrase on Fox and all the MAGA outlets. The Supreme Court - a corrupt Trump organ at this point - will almost certainly ratify this aberrant reading of the clear text of the Amendment.
This will also cause a rift with Vance, who was almost certainly brought on board with a promise that he was the heir apparent (Vance has disappeared and pouted at any suggestion that Don Jr. might run).
