Donald Trump could become the first president for life in US history, the American magazine The Atlantic warns readers.

In March, Trump refused to rule out the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, saying he was “not kidding” about the prospect and “there are ways to do that.”

The publication emphasizes that Trump’s options today are far greater than in 2020. For example, his party controls both houses of Congress, and the leader himself will undoubtedly do everything possible to maintain this.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, paved the way for Trump’s third term by essentially granting him absolute immunity from criminal prosecution now and into the future.
