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.
Earlier this month, War Room host and Trump advisor Steve Bannon told News Nation’s Chris Cuomo, “I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028. I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” doubling down on his comments at CPAC in February.
“We’ve had greater longshots than Trump 2028. We’ve got a lot of stuff we’re working on. We’re not prepared to talk about it publicly,” Bannon said.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Third Term Project, spearheaded by Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) who introduced a resolution in January 2025, is pushing for a constitutional amendment to permit a president to be elected up to three times, provided their prior terms were non-consecutive, a condition tailored to Trump as the only living ex-president with non-consecutive terms.
They argue that a third Trump term would “reverse the nation’s decay and restore America to greatness.”
