BREAKING: Trump Says He’s “Not Joking” When Asked About Seeking a Third Term, Says “A Lot of People Want me to Do It” and “There are Methods Which You Could Do It”

President Trump told reporters this morning that he is weighing options and methods to seek a third term as President of the United States.

The President says that right now, he is “focused on the current” and “it’s far too early to think about it.”

When asked if he wanted a third term, he reportedly said, “I like working.”

Per NBC:

President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

“I’m not joking,” Trump said, when asked to clarify. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

When asked whether he has been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term, Trump said, “There are methods which you could do it.”

One of these methods could involve JD Vance running for office and stepping down for Trump to take over. “But there are others too,” the President added, refusing to share more with the leftist outlet.

This also comes as GOP lawmakers are weighing the option of amending the 22nd Amendment.

Now’s not the time to talk about this. There are too many other things that need to be fixed first.

Hell no! If Trump can run for a 3rd term then so can Obama.

I like it but are there enough people with balls to elect Vance knowing that he’d resign shortly after inauguration, assuming Vance wins in 2028? And how would everyone knowing this ahead of time affect the outcome?

I don’t think so. It’s unconstitutional. Sorry Trump.

It’s a great time. It will suck up all the faux outrage so he can go about the business of the people.

Exactly. Trolling.

But 2 days ago a Freeper (who shall remain nameless as he later backed off his claim) took this as a serious possibility.

I wonder if now as I resume to the replies on this thread - will I also find foolish Freepers who see the “wisdom” in this?
