Letter To The Editor: FDR Got A Fourth Term, So Why Shouldn’t Trump?

Photos: Wikimedia Commons The following letter to the editor was sent by reader Kimball Shinkoskey. Dear Editor: FDR got a fourth term, so why shouldn’t Trump? In the leadup to his second term, Trump joked that he would be a “dictator on day one.” Nobody is laughing now. He hasn’t stopped dictating since day one.   Today Trump “jokes” with the press that he might win a “fourth” term of office in 2028. Plenty of things suggest he is serious. First, he is re-building D.C. in his own image like lifetime kings did in their capital cities: renovating Dulles; bringing in the military to make the city safe; planning new monuments like the Arc de Trump and renovating old ones like the Reflecting Pool; hanging huge graven image banners of himself on government buildings. Consider this. He is undertaking a billion-dollar East Wing renovation of his residence that won’t be completed until well after 2028. He is taking more opportunities to show off his “Trump 2028” hat. He is visiting the doctor a lot to try to get ahead of any chronic diseases that might befall him. Hmmm . . .
