We have a long, long, long three years ahead of us when it comes to Trump. And, as such, there are any number of ways that he could really screw things up. Given his love of besmirching anything that anyone holds sacred, it seems logical that Trump would inevitably go after the Constitution.
There are a few excuses I could imagine him using to do such a thing. One, the most obvious one, is so he can run for a third term. The second, less obvious, but equally potent to the MAGA base would be to pass a balanced budge amendment.
I say all of this in the context of a growing suspicion on my part that Trump is a Russian agent of some sort. Putin notoriously pass through a series of constitutional changes in Russia as he was consolidating power. It would make a lot of sense if Trump did too, because, lulz, form follows function.
As such, Trump has such an absolute hold on the American political system that once he broached the subject of a Constitutional Convention, there would be no stopping it happening.
And, as I understand it, there’s no avoiding the very real possibility that any such convention would be populated primarily with MAGA participants so Trump would, at last, make America Trumplandia once and for all on an existential basis.
