Why President Trump should stay in Power after 2028
The Challenges of a 4-Year US Presidential Term

Sometimes when you're standing in the murky water you don't even know you're in it, while someone else can see your predicament from a distance. The mighty USA, greatest Country on earth, grants each of its new Presidents roughly 10 Months to govern. That's it. That's what the world sees when we look at the American Presidency.
Following the Presidential Inauguration (and after the entire bureaucracy's time and effort is spent for at least a month, fighting off the first Government Shutdown attempts) the newly elected President has around 10 months to try and effect some of the changes he or she campaigned on, before the focus shifts to the Midterm Elections. We saw that at the end of 2025, when the whole Epstein debacle (wasn't it nice to see the Scumstream Media being forced to apologize and admit that President Trump cut all ties with the prolific island banker at the first sign of Epstein's criminal tendencies?) became a snare to the Republicans, amidst their ambitions for the 2026 Midterms.
After the Midterms, more often than not the House flips, and it's normally a coin toss for the Senate, so there's not much hope of getting anything done with a (almost invariably) highly acrimonious interaction between the US Congress and US President during the final two years of the Presidency.
But the truth is, the whole thing can change.
I mean it's never been cast in stone; Franklin D. Roosevelt was US President for 16 years, wasn't he? It's already being done, elsewhere on Middle Earth, where the Presidents of the rest of the Free World are not bound to 10 Months of Government. No other self-respecting Western Country binds itself to such a short period of governance for its Regent (I mean President). In Ukraine, President Zelensky has found his own way of staying in power, through some legal thingy or whatever, and in Europe they simply rig each new election, so that the guy with the 8% approval rating emerges with 60% of the vote; thereby magically staying in power (for more than 4 years, lol).
In Russia, they held up the illusion of strict Presidential terms for a while, but President Putin only effectively sat out for one term. President Medvedev took over for a while, only to step aside again for Vladimir the Great at the appointed time (hat tip to President Medvedev, you don't often see that kind of loyalty in modern politics).
Perhaps the Time has come to turn into a serious debate the currently lighthearted discussion concerning the possible extension of President Trump's Presidential Term by another 4 years (or more), at the end of 2028.
Or perhaps just drop the US Presidential Term-limit idea in toto (I mean the US Senators don't have term limits, come to think of it).
