Well, ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn because the progressive media is at it again, losing their collective minds over something President Donald Trump said. This time, it's about a third term in the White House. Yes, you heard that right: the man who's already served two non-consecutive terms is apparently "open" to the idea of a third. Cue the hysteria! The headlines are screaming, the pundits are punditing, and social media is ablaze like a Tesla dealership in San Francisco with liberal outrage. But let's be real: this is just Trump being Trump, tossing out a line to watch the media chase their tails while the rest of us roll our eyes and wonder when they'll focus on the actual news.

Meanwhile, there are real stories out there that deserve attention that might actually stunt the incredible momentum of the Trump Administration. Take Greenland, for instance: the island of just 55,000 residents just voted for independence, and the implications for U.S. interests in the Arctic are huge, but it's also a huge rebuke of Donald Trump's ambitions to have the United States take over Greenland. But is the media talking about it? Nope, they're too busy hyperventilating over Trump's hypothetical third term.

Then there's Putin, who's clearly not participating in good faith in the Ukraine peace talks. Putin, who started this tragic war, has been dragging his feet and smirking through negotiations mediated by the United States, infuriating Trump and embarrassing his Administration; which went after Ukraine and Zelensky first. This is a critical moment for global security, with lives and nations hanging in the balance. Yet, the media is more concerned with Trump's jests than Putin's maneuvers. It's almost as if they'd rather clutch their pearls than report on something that actually matters.

And let's not forget the unpopular tariffs set to take effect on April 2nd. These are going to hit American consumers hard, especially in the short term with inflation already squeezing wallets. Families are going to feel the pinch at the grocery store, the gas pump, and everywhere else. But the media is too distracted to notice, too busy speculating about Trump's openness to a third-term to focus on the economic fallout; which is a real news story that could hurt him and make the remainder of his term a lame duck. It's like they're allergic to reporting on anything that doesn't involve Trump saying something outrageous: and he's playing them to his advantage expertly!

Oh, and did I mention Signalgate? That's the scandal where top administration officials allegedly leaked information about a strike on the Houthis to The Atlantic. It wasn't just an informal chat as they first tried saying: Signalgate was a serious breach of national security (even if we do like how well this Administration is working together behind the scenes). But instead of digging into the details and going all in on Mike Walz and Pete Hegseth, the mainstream media is fixated on Trump's third-term talk. Trump has them so flustered that the media has forgotten how to prioritize real news over fake news.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: Trump's supposed openness to a third term. First off, the man is 78 years old; by 2028, he'll be 82. That's not exactly spring chicken territory, folks. Sure, he's got energy, and he loves the spotlight, but running for president is a grueling marathon, not a victory lap. Age isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, but it's worth considering when we're talking about a guy who'd be pushing the upper limits of presidential stamina after Joe Biden proved what happened when you're in politics for too long. In fact, Trump would be almost the same age as Biden in 2024 if he runs again. It's not going to be a good look for Trump's legacy.

More importantly, there's this little thing called the Constitution. Perhaps some of you have heard of it. The 22nd Amendment explicitly states that no person can be elected president more than twice: period, end of story. Amending the Constitution isn't like changing your Netflix password; it requires a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate, followed by ratification from three-fourths of the states. That's a tall order, especially for something as controversial as allowing a president to serve more than two terms. The last time we amended the Constitution was in 1992, for something as mundane as congressional pay raises; the idea that Congress would rally behind a third term for Trump is laughable. Democrats would never go for it, and even many Republicans would balk.

But wait, there's more evidence that this is all hot air! Enter J.D. Vance, the vice president and heir apparent. Vance has been front and center in this administration, taking on high-profile roles and building his own political brand. Trump himself has praised him, saying Vance is "doing a great job" and calling him "the future of the party." It's clear he's being groomed for 2028. So why would Trump position Vance as the next leader if he were serious about a third term? This is classic Trump: say something outrageous to get the media riled up, then sit back and watch them ignore the real issues.

So, here's the bottom line: Trump's third-term talk is just that, talk. It's a distraction, a shiny object for the media to chase while real stories like Greenland's independence vote, Putin's bad faith, the tariffs, and "Signalgate" go unreported. The progressive media's obsession with Trump is making them look unhinged, and it's giving him political cover for the actual problems his administration is facing. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to focus on what matters; but let's be honest, they won't. They'll keep chasing the Trump circus, and we'll keep laughing at their expense.
