Willis Eschenbach had this to say on claims Trump won't leave office after the expiration of his second term:

I keep reading folks claiming that Trump will insist on running for a third term, or will refuse to leave the White House after his second term.

That will never happen, President Trump's not like that. But care to know who actually did that? Our favorite farmer, Mini Mike Bloomberg. As the Wall Street Journal noted, when Bloomberg was Mayor of New York City:

===
"Perhaps Mr. Bloomberg’s most controversial move was running for a third term in 2009 by engineering the repeal of a law passed twice by voter referendum limiting city elected officials to two terms. That decision colored his final years in office, as his approval ratings fell from the high 60s and never again cracked 50% in his third term, according to Marist. Voters reinstated term limits in 2010."
===

The law was passed by voters not once but twice, but Mike is too elite to be held in check by mere voters ...

And the sting in the tail of this tale? After leaving the Mayor's job, he voted in favor of the law being changed back again to the two-term limit, saying that the special exemption from the law for him alone was an "extraordinary one-time thing".

According to Farmer Mike, laws are for the little people, not for the ultra-rich folks like him.
