They've already come up with a crackheaded, baseless explanation. They say that it only applies to 2 consecutive terms.

Logic isn't the play. They will say/do anything that gets them what they want. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

    So then Obama can run. Glad we settled that.

    No, their "logic" is that a president is eligible for re-election only until they serve two consecutive terms, after which point they are no longer eligible.

    They have to create a system that allows Trump to run but won't allow Obama to run. He couldn't stand losing to Biden, and he obviously re-lives that loss every day, but he would actually implode if he lost to Obama. And everyone around him seems to have the job of "keep Dear Leader from imploding."
