Trump Suggests Possible Run for Third Term, Challenges Constitutional Limits
In a candid interview, Trump expresses enthusiasm for a potential third presidential term and proposes tariffs on rivals.
In a spirited appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," former President Donald Trump entertained the idea of running for a third term, declaring he was “not joking” about it. Trump, speaking from West Palm Beach, Florida, mentioned that “a lot of people” are in favor of him extending his presidency, indicating he has possible “methods” to bypass the two-term restriction imposed by the Constitution.
The interview covered a variety of topics, highlighting Trump's frustration with President Vladimir Putin and detailing his intent to impose tariffs on international competitors. During the discussion with host Kristen Welker, he stated, “We have a long way to go. I’m focused on the current,” yet left the door open for future political maneuvers.
This revelation comes in the wake of a reassertion from the White House that Trump should concentrate on his ongoing term, dismissing the notion of a third term as premature. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung emphasized the public's support for Trump’s policies and his commitment to reversing the perceived damages of the Biden administration, pitching the classic "Make America Great Again" narrative.
Despite the controversial nature of his comments, Trump's enduring popularity among his base continues to fuel speculation about his future political ambitions.
