Trump said he is not joking about the idea of a third term as president
Republican United States President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is not kidding about the notion of pursuing a third term, which is barred by the Constitution, but that it is too early to consider it.
Trump, who began his second non-consecutive term in the White House on January 20, has made vague allusions to seeking a third, but he addressed the issue openly Sunday in a phone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not kidding. I’m not kidding,” Trump said, but ”it’s too early to think about it.”
“There are methods to do it, as you know,” he noted, declining to offer further details on specific ways.
According to the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, presidents of the United States can serve only two four-year terms, whether consecutive or not.
