US President Donald Trump says that “I’m not joking” about trying to serve a third term, the clearest indication he is considering ways to breach a constitutional barrier against continuing to lead the country after his second term ends at the beginning of 2029.
“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump says in a telephone interview with NBC News from Mar-a-Lago, his private club.
He elaborates later to reporters on Air Force One from Florida to Washington that “I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the other election, the 2020 election was totally rigged.” Trump lost that election to Democrat Joe Biden.
Still, Trump adds: “I don’t want to talk about a third term now because no matter how you look at it, we’ve got a long time to go.”
