During an interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump expressed openness to the idea of running for a third term, despite it being prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. Trump mentioned that many people have urged him to consider it, emphasizing that he was being serious about his contemplation. However, he acknowledged that it is early in his current term and that his focus remains on the present administration. Trump stated that he enjoys the work involved in being president, indicating a genuine interest in the possibility. The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution restricts individuals from being elected to the presidency for more than two terms, outlining a rigorous process for amending this provision. Although Trump has flirted with the notion of seeking a third term, he did not provide specific details on how this could be achieved. Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon speculated that Trump might aim to run and win again in 2028, suggesting unconventional methods that could potentially enable him to do so.
