Never mind the constitutional prohibition on more than two terms. In September, for instance, he posted on Twitter and Instagram a campaign placard for “Trump 2024.”

If the American president was not just trolling his opponents, and really does plan to hang around indefinitely, then he could take some pointers from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who celebrated 20 years in power with a press conference on Thursday.
