President Trump has clearly never heard of the 22nd amendment.
On Friday, Trump tweeted out an animated version of an old Time magazine cover that's clearly not something Time created. It's essentially Trumpian fan art, in which the president appears in front of campaign signs dating up until the year 90000. That's a solid 21,996 more election cycles, which could be the most exhausting number known to man.
The video was originally posted last October by a Trump-loving "memesmith" who goes by @CarpeDonktum on Twitter, and was a spin on that week's Time magazine cover. Trump has tweeted out several @CarpeDonktum videos in the past, including a video montage of Democrats rolling their eyes at the State of the Union that was taken down for a copyright violation.
