United States President Donald Trump is reportedly exploring the possibility of serving a third term, despite the constitutional ban set by the 22nd Amendment.
In a recent interview with NBC News, Trump was asked directly about the prospect, and while he acknowledged that it was too early to make any firm decisions, he also stated that “there are methods which you could do it.”
Trump, who began his second term in 2025 after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election, has been known to raise the idea of extending his presidency.
While his previous references to serving beyond two terms have often been dismissed by Republicans as jokes, this time, he made it clear that he was serious. “I’m not joking,” he stated emphatically.
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
