Trump says he will ‘probably not’ seek a third term

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would “probably not” run for a third term.

“I’d like to run,” he said when asked about the possibility on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”

The 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. That applies to Trump as well, despite his two terms being non-consecutive.

But allies of the president — and Trump himself — have repeatedly floated him serving another term despite that constitutional prohibition. There are possible ways Trump could try to get around this mandate, including repealing the amendment or running for vice president and ascending to the presidency, POLITICO reported.

Trump has previously declined to rule out a third term, telling NBC in March there “are methods” to assume office again if he wanted to.

“Americans overwhelmingly approve and support President Trump and his America First policies. As the president said, it’s far too early to think about it and he is focused on undoing all the hurt Biden has caused and Making America Great Again,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement at the time.

On his official merchandise store, Trump 2028 goods are already for sale.

“The future looks bright! Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat,” one product description reads.
