Can Trump actually serve a third term?
My legal analysis may surprise you. Watch the Dershow on Rumble, Youtube, Spotify and Apple. Hear my 65 years of constitutional expertise on the topic. Is there a loophole? Watch the Dershow.

This particular podcast seems more concerned with his visibility a a center of attention than with legal analysis. Nothing really to see here. Anyone reading history knows about Franklin Roosevelt being President for four terms, tht he died in the fourth, and that the Constitution was subsequently amended to cut the presidency to a maximum of two elected terms.
Yet Dershow podcasts form a unitary series with fundamentally general issues of credibility, morality and narrative bias. A strong adherent in the ad hominem argument and total war against his opponents, Dershowitz is the classroom example of being Mr. One-Sided. He tolerates no dissent, and regularly goes to the extremes of personally feuding with dissenters. With Prof. Finkelstein, Dershowitz publicly claimed Finkelstein's mother was a Nazi collaborator in a concentration camp. Dersh then gathered donors and personally travelled to Chicago to force DePaul under threat of massive defunding to dismiss Finkelstein. Dershowitz is a prime instigator of censorship with his cover ups and prolific defamation lawsuits.
But his central lifelong description is being one-sided, ignoring all evidence inconsistent with his narrative. In his efforts to get a pardon for George Nader, it is hard to find out why Nader was jailed. You have to go to a different source to learn Nader has been a recidivist pedophilic rapist with a taste in a series of poor blond 14 year old boys who were imported periodically from Prague to Nader's ritzy residence in DC. Sort of an Epstein Organization with Home Service, and young boys instead of young girls. . One hopes the very busy President has time to set side to independently check sources about Nader's background other than Dershowitz. Is it necessary as defense attorney and podcaster to be so one-sided? Is it socially acceptable and does it produce good social results? Dershowitz's effort to get Nader pardoned follows the Catholic Church pattern of dealing with pedophilia: just send the pedo priest to somewhere else, another parish- - -where the pedo can continue assaults against children. Dershowitz is telling the President to pardon Nader for the quid pro quo of Nader promising to never return to the United States,.
What example of one-sidedness is more obvious than Dershowitz's frequently repeated leitmotif "there are no innocents in Gaza". completely disregarding facts of disability, inability to influence power. chlldhood and an enforced poverty crushing all opportunity for individual action. Considering also his long association with Epstein, it appears Dersh enjoys crushing the vulnerable.
One of these vulnerables was his Orthodox first wife. Sue Barlach was physically beaten into "battered wife syndrome". A judge wrote a detailed ruling. It determined Dershowitz physically beat and psychologically abused Barlach, leading to her hospitalization and need for long term psychiatric therapy. Then Barlach died.. Being an adjudicated wifebeater, causing battered wife syndrome, seems very relevant background reflecting podcaster credibility, judgement, morality, and acceptance of common social norms. Dersh doe not talk about this. There is no "truth in packaging" or notifications of bias in Dershow podcasts.
I ask for more information on Substack podcasts about the battered wife. How does Dersh treat women and the vulnerable. That is always relevant to the themes of his podcasts. Dersh wants to be a public figure---public figure are not allowed to cover up matters involving their inhumanity. He needs to answer these issues with more than his characteristic threats. He must provide more information. Why did he beat her so assiduously? Who were witnesses?
I ask that a Dershow present witnesses, her children, now full-grown adults, motherless since early childhood. I invite the show's producer to speak about what he knows, saw and now feels about his mother's treatment by Dersh. Maybe somehow she deserved it? The producer has a brother who should also remember Sue Barlach.. Was the Judge's ruling correct? Is this all jusr water under the bridge?
Another great show. I particularly liked the convoluted approaches Trump could do to stay as president for a third term, very entertaining and informative. Like you say, very unlikely. Things can change dramatically in short order as one ages. Some friends of my wife for instance, neighbours, the man suffered a stroke at 78, with no warning....cannot speak, or write, but can walk. Basically he is a vegetable. His wife had to take over all the finances at 76, and could not, never did it before, had to get help. Now he is 80, little changed, but she has developed dementia. They are in real trouble today, both cannot drive or take care of themselves now, so had to sell the house and car to go into an extended care home. In a matter of a couple years, their whole lives changed upside down just like that. Of course, this has freaked my wife out, so now she's all over me for getting things in order, shared access to all finances, wants to do things like travel to odd places or sell assets, or change our winter vacation routines, etc. I'm trying to get her to relax, we are both in good health and organized. They are only a couple years older than us, but things can happen rather quickly as one ages. In any case, I doubt Trump is going to want to still be president by the time he finishes his last term, he just likes to throw out little bombs out there to see the media flip all over the place. Maybe he's serious, maybe not, but he loves to create distractions....after all the wall of tariffs are coming in a couple days, perfect timing to create diversions. Anyway, great show. Thank you.
