Trump Hints Third-Term Ambitions Amid 22nd Amendment Debate

President Donald Trump has publicly expressed interest in serving a third term as U.S. president, despite the constitutional two-term limit established by the 22nd Amendment. He stated he "would love to do it" but acknowledged the constitutional reality that a third term is not allowed unless the amendment is changed, a process considered lengthy and difficult. Trump dismissed a speculative strategy to run as vice president in 2028 and then assume the presidency as "too cute" and inappropriate, yet he stopped short of fully ruling out another White House bid. His former strategist Steve Bannon has been more vocal, claiming there is a plan for Trump to secure a third term and suggesting various unspecified alternatives to bypass the constitutional limit. The Trump Organisation has also marketed "Trump 2028" caps, fueling speculation about his political ambitions. Critics have raised concerns about these discussions and rhetoric, viewing them as attempts to challenge or circumvent constitutional norms.
