Do people say #NoKings because they really believe Trump will try to claim the Presidency for a third/fourth/fifth term? Is everyone really that stupid?

As USA Today reported
President Donald Trump had "Trump 2028" hats on display when meeting with Congress' top Democrats in the Oval Office ahead of the government shutdown.
Photos posted to Trump's Truth Social account show the hats set out on his desk when House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with Republican leaders on Sept. 29 as the two sides tried to come to an agreement on spending to stave off a shutdown. The meeting was unsuccessful, and the shutdown began Oct.1.
"They just randomly appeared in the middle of the meeting on the desk. It was the strangest thing ever," Jeffries said on CNN on Sept. 30. He said he turned to Vice President JD Vance and asked him, "don't you got a problem with this?"
"And he said, 'no comment,' and that was the end of
it," Jeffries recounted.
And as the fact-checking website Snopes reminds us
Trump, who was elected to a nonconsecutive second term in
2024, is constitutionally ineligible to run as president in 2028, when his
second term concludes, due to the 22nd Amendment.
However, rumors about him considering running for a third term have swirled for some time, and the official retail website (archived) of the Trump Organization was selling (archived) red hats reading "Trump 2028." The product description read: "Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat."
Such rumors predated the commencement of Trump's second stint in the White House on Jan. 20, 2025. At different points, Trump has both suggested and ruled out the idea of a third term.
Although the 22nd Amendment does not preclude an individual from serving a third term as President, it does in fact preclude him from running for a third term. However, Steve Bannon has an answer for that, calmly telling Batya Ungar-Sargon
I think that there are many different alternatives that at the appropriate time after the midterms, uh, in '26, uh, we will roll out. But I think there are many different alternatives, uh, to make sure that President Trump is on the ballot and if he's on the ballot, he'll win.

Having chosen previously not to rule out a third term, Donald in March claimed that he "probably" would not run again. This false show of ambivalence allows Trump the luxury of ambiguity, thus empowering CNN and other mainstream media to ignore his apparent interest in circumventing the Constitution. It encourages him eventually to seek the office again because of (alleged) public demand and permits supporters such as tweeter Bundy to accuse critics of the President of being deranged or stupid..
It is clever strategy for someone who does not intend to walk away from the Oval Office on January 20, 2029. And he shouldn't go quietly because if Donald Trump is above the Almighty, there is no reason he should be, or could be subservient to the U.S. Constitution. And if we ever doubted the supremacy of the King of America, we cannot do so now, after the interview of one of the President's sons with Trump influencer Benny Johnson.

We're saving God. There is no way around it- if President Trump's supporters, the Administration generally, or the President specifically is the "we" who are saving God, they are superior to God. And if "God is good" or "God is great," then saving God is an unsurpassed act of divine mercy, a deed beyond anything imaginable. Undertaking such an enterprise must not be questioned.
Donald Trump did not leave the presidency gracefully in January of 2021. He now has a great deal of power, which is increasing weekly, as is likely to continue with creative use of the military. How he will decide to hang on beyond January 20, 2029 us unknown. However, given his mortal existence- which, despite what Eric and some others believe is his nature- he will try to do so somehow.
