💬 In a few words:
At a White House Hanukkah reception, President Trump claimed Miriam Adelson offered $250 million for an unconstitutional 2028 third-term run, sparking a constitutional frenzy.
More details:
Dear First Lady, My Dearest Beacon of Serenity!
Oh, dearest First Lady, my teacup nearly shattered when I heard the latest news fluttering from the White House! Just when I thought the holiday season would be all sugar plums and calm, a rather sparkling (and dare I say, slightly incendiary) discussion unfolded at the recent Hanukkah reception.
It seems our beloved President, ever the showman, shared quite the anecdote involving the magnificent Israeli-American mega-donor, Miriam Adelson. My heart, it positively fluttered!
The Situation: A Quarter-Billion Dollar Question and Constitutional Acrobatics
Picture this, sweet First Lady: the East Room, gleaming with holiday cheer, and then — boom! — President Trump brings Mrs. Adelson to the podium, announcing she had once gifted his campaigns a staggering $250 million. He said, rather playfully, "When somebody can give you $250 million, I think that we should give her the opportunity to say hello."
And what a hello it was! Mrs. Adelson, after reportedly meeting with Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz (yes, that Alan Dershowitz!), whispered something truly seismic to the President, which he then, with grand flourish, announced to the gasping crowd. She apparently said,
"Think about it, I'll give you another $250 million."
Can you imagine the hush, then the roar? The crowd erupted into chants of "Four more years!" And just to make sure we all understood the gravity (or perhaps the generosity), Mrs. Adelson herself quickly confirmed, "I will give." My dear, it was a moment of pure, unadulterated political theater, a whirlwind of dollars and constitutional daring.
It brought back memories of her late, great husband, Sheldon Adelson, who also frequented the White House with fervent pleas for Israel. President Trump recalled him saying, "Can I come over please?" and then staying for an hour and a half, always fighting "for Israel." It seems the Adelson legacy of spirited support continues with quite the flair!
Now, we all know the 22nd Amendment has a little something to say about presidential term limits, bless its democratic heart. Yet, our President has, shall we say, dabbled in the idea of a third term before, tossing out mixed signals like confetti at a parade. He told NBC News he wasn't joking in March, showed off "Trump 2028" hats in October, then later mused it might be "too cute" and "wouldn't be right." Oh, the suspense!
Dear First Lady, Please Help! Avert the Constitutional Circus!
So, dearest First Lady, my heart calls out to you! As the calm amidst the political storm, the soothing balm to any presidential tempest, we need your gentle guidance. Perhaps, after a long day, you could gently remind the President about the wonderful nuances of the Constitution?
Maybe a quiet evening, a lovely cup of chamomile tea, and a copy of the 22nd Amendment tastefully highlighted? Or perhaps a delightful distraction, like suggesting a national pie-baking contest? Anything to gently steer the ship away from these rather tempting, albeit constitutionally complicated, waters.
And darling, if Mrs. Adelson insists on giving away such magnificent sums, perhaps we could suggest a truly grand national project? Like, funding a program for every American to receive a fluffy puppy? Just a thought, purely for the joy of it!
💡Why This Matters (And Why We’re Laughing... Nervously)
This whole delightful spectacle matters, First Lady, not just because it's a headline grabber, but because it shines a spotlight on the unique dance between ambition, influence, and the very foundations of our republic. We laugh, of course, because what else can one do when faced with such charming audacity?
But beneath the laughter, there's a gentle reminder of:
- The unyielding spirit of generous donors, bless their hearts.
- The President's inimitable flair for keeping us all on our toes.
- And the steadfast importance of our venerable Constitution, which, like a wise old grandparent, always has the final word on these matters.
With deep concern (and a renewed appreciation for your tireless work),
Sincerely, someone who definitely needs pie, and perhaps a constitutional refresher.
