US President Donald Trump has denied that he is considering running for a third presidential term, a move which experts agree is banned under the US Constitution.
"I'll be an eight-year president, I'll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important," Trump told NBC's Meet the Press with Kristen Welker in an interview that will air on Sunday.
Trump has previously said that he was "not joking" about wanting to serve a third, or even fourth, term as US president.
He later said his statements were meant to troll the "fake news media".
His company, The Trump Organization, has been selling "Trump 2028" hats, fuelling armchair speculation that he may seek to remain in office after his second term ends in January 2029.
In the interview, recorded from his residence in Florida, Trump said that he has had many "requests" from people asking that he consider seeking to remain in office.
"So many people want me to do it," Trump said, just days after celebrating his first 100 days of his second term.
"It's something that, to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do. I don't know if that's constitutional that they're not allowing you to do it or anything else," Trump said.
He added that "there are many people selling the 2028 hat".
"But this is not something I'm looking to do," he said, going on to list several Republicans who could take his place, including Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular," he added.
The Constitution's 22nd Amendment says that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice".

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Asked by NBC whether anyone has approached him with these theories, Trump deflected, answering that "in a capacity of being a big supporter, many people have said different things".
Let's all just give Trump credit where due, for some Master-Level Trolling, and let it slide.
LOL!
It’s all schtick!
And the ignorant and TDSr’s flock to it like moths to a flame!

L@@K!
WOW!!!
Look-those issues have a short shelf life until the subject is changed. This time it’s reopening Alcatraz-more conceivable.
He could always come back to it by challenging the Kenyan in ‘28.
Too bad for us.
There are plenty of people named Trump that Trump 2028 can represent.
TRUMP is in his third term. The second was stolen by the democrats with millions of fake votes made out of thin air and disappeared back into thin air after the election.
That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t serve a third term.

Yep, what ever happened to taking over Gaza and turning it into a resort?
Every single one of your questions is silly, and they indicate you are someone with no sense of humor whatsoever.
It is vital that President Trump vigorously grooms his replacements. And he should do this at the national level, starting with strictly controlled endowments to conservative colleges.
For example, The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace (founded 1919). Imagine if it was instead promulgated at a dozen or more universities? “Trump Institutes” could also strongly influence America for the next 100 years or more.
I'm glad they told us what the experts think. Otherwise I'd have been tempted to read the Constitution and have an opinion on what it plainly says for myself. /s
This topic is a hoax and the sheep are falling for it. I’m waiting for the unwashed masses to stand in line, waiting for Trump to walk across the Potomac.
He’s already been elected three times, AND he has earned his retirement years. Let the man move on. WE have a TON of work to do in continuing his legacy and his ideals. WE have to get to work. HE can relax and enjoy the fruits of his labors... and probably an unending line of lawsuits and arrests the moment that Democrats get back in power. Hopefully he’s going to enjoy his retirement in a nation with no extradition, and they can enjoy the massive amounts of taxes that he pays every year.
Would you like to read your own post a second time? The silliness IS the humor.
(At least, I hope it is, LOL)
Pretty sure Republicans have some suitable nominees for the 2028 election, while (to my knowledge) the Democrats have nobody suitable.
