Trump says he won't seek a third term
www.bbc.co.uk
"This is not something I'm looking to do," the US president says about speculation he may try to find a way to run again in 2028.

In other words he’s seeking a 3rd term, constitution pending or not.

      Also, there has been more than a few days’ worth of data proving that he can’t really be taken for granted for more than one and a half minutes.

    Wasnt a Republican controlled house propose the one who propose the 22nd ammendment? So after FDR won the 3rd term?

    It’s laughable now how a Republicunt President would want to go around this.

      He’s not going to run. Did you see him dancing around and leaving early during the last six months of the 2024 election? He doesn’t need to run and no one needs to vote.

    He wants to hand it off. Hell step down and give it to Vance. Seriously. That’s his play if he’s not the guy

    For those that didn’t read the article, he was asked about his previous statements that he wanted to run for a third term. His response was meant to convey he was “trolling the fake news media.”

    “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 aired on Sunday.

    Whether you believe those to be his intentions or not, it seems kind of important to understand he was responding to a question about earlier statements.
