Trump Expresses Interest in Third Presidential Term Despite Constitutional Limitations

President Donald Trump has expressed interest in potentially running for a third term in 2028, despite the 22nd Amendment prohibiting more than two terms. He stated he "would love to do it" and claimed to have his "best numbers ever," though he ruled out running as vice president as a "too cute" workaround. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon claimed there is a plan for Trump to secure a third term, which has alarmed political commentators and former Trump staffers like Alyssa Farah Griffin, who suggested Trump might challenge the constitutional limits in court by arguing the terms need not be consecutive. Legal experts and media figures have expressed concern about this unprecedented move, with some fearing Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and influence over the judiciary could facilitate such an outcome. The debate reflects deep divisions over constitutional interpretation and the future direction of American democracy under Trump's current presidency.
