President Donald Trump is no stranger to making controversial comments. He recently shared that he wanted to run for a third presidential term. He has even sold Trump 2028 merchandise in his online store. He thinks he is doing such a great job with the country that he shouldn’t have to leave office when his term ends. However, the United States Constitution ensures that each president can only serve two four-year terms. Since Trump was president from 2016 until 2020, he is ineligible to run again.
He has shared his ideas that could keep him in the White House longer than he should. While he seemed pretty convinced he could find a loophole or ignore the Constitution entirely, he has begun to backtrack.
Donald Trump has said it is “pretty clear” he cannot run for President again
The 22nd Amendment, which was ratified in the 1950s, prevents candidates from serving two terms. However, Trump loyalist Steve Bannon recently shared that he was confident Trump would remain in office past 2028. Trump has hinted at that before, but now, he seems to be walking back that talk.
“It’s a very interesting thing,” Trump told reporters in South Korea on October 29th, as reported by Deadline. “I have the best polling numbers for any president in many years. Any president. I would say that if you read it, it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad. But we have a lot of great people.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed that Trump was only joking when he had made previous comments about running again in 2028. He claimed that he is simply ‘trolling’ Democrats. “I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes about 10 years to do that,” he said. “I don’t see a path to that.” For now, Trump is taking back his comments about trying out another presidential bid.
