President for life

I think the United States better be very careful. President Trump must be looking with envy at his counterpart in Beijing. President Xi Zinping has been enjoying power so much that he now wants to be president for life, and because it's China all he has to do is arrange for legislation to be rewritten to allow him to stay "on the throne" until his last words are uttered on this Earth. President Putin has pretty much done the same. He extended the previously limited term for an individual Russian president and no one wll be surprised if he doesn't stick out around in the Kremlin for another 20 years or so. Trump, poor chap, has a maximum of eight years in the White House under the constitution. But perhaps he will get his legal boys to come up with a brilliant idea so that he can do many more four-year terms to rival crafty Xi and KGB-cunning Putin. That's if Trump is not impeached or forced to resign or just loses the 2020 election. But there are ways round that too maybe. Of course, Trump might decide after four or eight years that he wants to hang up his red baseball cap and spend the rest of his days playing golf in Florida. But somehow I don't see that scenario. Even now he will be thinking to himelf, "For the sake of America First I must be allowed to stay on as president for ever." Xi and Putin are going to be the big big players for the next 10-20 years. As the law stands now, Trump will be gone one way or the other. He will be SO frustrated and angry that his two great rivals will be laughing their heads off as he departs from the White House and hands over to.....well, who knows but probably some Democratic Party upstart with a vision. By then, Theresa May will be gone (politically), Merkel too, probably Macron, that chap in Delhi, hopefully Kim Jong-un. Xi and Putin together as presidents for life. I can hear Trump shouting at someone, anyone, in the Oval Office right now. Probably at General John Kelly or Lieutenant-General HR McMaster. "I WILL BE PRESIDENT FOR LIFE!!!"
