The media needs to pre-empt Trump's wiggle room answers. Ask him "Who will you support for VP in 28, Vance or...

..will you support whoever wins the primary?"

If he even remotely inserts "some say I can run," "well there's a possibility of a thir-"

No.

F that.

The journalist needs to stop him right there. Say in concisely that he can't run. Read the amendment and immediately ask the original question - who will he support, Vance etc.?

They need to stay on it. Maybe he will get pissed and openly claim that he plans on a third term. Who knows, but the media has to stop letting this "cutsy" shit fly.

He maybe serious. Maybe not. He sure loves to troll and he hates the idea that he could be a lame duck (and he soon will be) so this must be forced. This is something that journalists need to better with Trump and the GOP in general on.

No more letting them answer your question with their desired narrative.

will continue 'the cutsy sh*t', as you have it - because that has endlessly worked for him.
And any 'journalist' that attempts to 'brace' him ... Will be shortly shown the door.
(with a great deal more consequence to the journalist and career, than to the interviewee)
