Does everyone remember during Trump's first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said "maybe we should try that" and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he'll get. Now there's a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.
