Trump On Seeking Third Presidential Term

Republican President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that he was not joking about considering a third presidential term, despite it being prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. However, he mentioned that it was too early to give serious thought to such a possibility.

Trump, who began his second non-consecutive term on January 20, has hinted at the idea of a third term in the past but directly addressed it in a phone interview with NBC News on Sunday.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump stated, while also stating that “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he added, without providing further details.

Under the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, presidents are limited to two four-year terms, whether consecutive or not.
