Summary
Donald Trump refused to rule out seeking a third term as president, telling NBC News there are “methods” to do so and emphasizing, “I’m not joking.”
Though the 22nd Amendment bars presidents from serving more than two terms, Trump suggested possible workarounds, including a VP succession plan.
He cited strong poll support and added, “a lot of people want me to do it.”
Allies like Rep. Andy Ogles and Steve Bannon back the idea. Amending term limits would require a complex constitutional process.
Nice fantasy. But that’s all it is. He’ll have bullet proof glass, weapons aren’t allowed at his rallies. You don’t think people tried this with Hitler, Stalin, and Putin? It’s said there were over 600 attempts on Castro’s life. He died of old age.
Hell, people tried it with Nixon, Regan, and Obama, people try these things all the time.
