In the history of the U.S there has been only one president who served two non-consecutive terms, and that was in the late 1800s. Who was that?
As part of the educational aspect of my blog that was Grover Cleveland. From Wikipedia:
Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. In the years before his presidency, he served as a mayor and governor in New York state, winning fame as an anti-corruption crusader. Cleveland is the only president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive presidential terms. He won the popular vote in three presidential elections—1884, 1888, and 1892. Benjamin Harrison won the electoral college vote, and thus the presidency, in 1888.
Could Donald Trump be only the second President to serve two non- consecutive terms? If there have been other U.S. presidents who ran a third time after losing in their quest for a second consecutive term, I confess … I just don’t know. When you think about it, there are really only a few reasons why someone would run a third time after losing the second time around.
Back in 1888, Grover Cleveland won the popular vote, and so he possibly felt that he had a reasonable shot at being elected in 1892.
He was right, as he did get elected in 1892.
To me there are two other possible reasons why someone would run for President after losing in the interim.
First: the interim election was fraudulent! To me the 2020 Presidential election was indeed fraudulent. The recent uncovering of the fraudulent nursing home votes in Wisconsin and the info showing that the so-called “impenetrable” voting machines are actually susceptible to potential hacking, are only the first two chinks in that armor.
Second: The President who was “elected” in the interim election has been terrible, and we’ve got that in spades!
Therefore, because of past election fraud and present Presidential incompetence, I am predicting that DJT will be a second Grover Cleveland.
