Trump Allegedly Offered $250M for a Third Term... in Newsweek, 2018?
Newsweek (and numerous other outlets) have recycled a six-year-old story about Donald Trump allegedly being offered $250 million by a donor to run for a third term. This 'news' from Newsweek in 2018 , based on Michael Wolff's book, predates the entire drama of a second term, let alone a hypothetical third. The sensational headline pretends this is relevant to current political discourse, rather
than a historical footnote that never materialized and frankly, wouldn't have been legally possible anyway. It appears the journalistic imperative has shifted from reporting verifiable, current facts to mining dusty archives for clickbait. One might wonder if this serves any purpose beyond distraction, especially since the 22nd Amendment neatly precludes three presidential terms. Perhaps we should
check The Onion for news, it's often more grounded in political reality.
