Professor E.J. Dionne highlights Trump’s immediate lame-duck status under the 22nd Amendment, arguing it weakens his hold over the GOP. He urges Republicans to leverage this to curtail Trump’s autocratic tendencies and envision a post-Trump political future. However, he warns of the persistent influence of MAGA loyalists. rawstory.com/trump-implication

Well, let's see-- Raw Story quotes Dion's WaPo article, and long story short, we're likely looking at a President Vance who would appoint Trump to something, 22nd Amendment be damned.

And there are ways of repealing Amendments. Biden is turning lame-duckhood into an advantage and I'm sure Trump is taking notes because like Biden, Trump now has nothing to lose.
