Former President Donald Trump has reportedly been considering a potential third term, despite the U.S. Constitution’s 22nd amendment clearly prohibiting this. Critics argue that the U.S. Constitution is only as strong as the institutions upholding it, which they believe Trump has been systematically weakening in his bid to expand executive power. This has led to fears that the U.S. could transform into an electoral autocracy similar to Hungary, despite some people’s faith in the Constitution and American exceptionalism as protective measures. Trump’s inner circle is said to be already strategizing potential ways around this constitutional hurdle.
