Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’

By New York Post. President Trump said he’s “not joking” about serving a third term in the White House — and thinks there’s a loophole to make it happen.

Trump, 78, told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a Sunday morning phone call that “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Trump claimed that “there are methods which you could do it,” including having Vice President JD Vance, 40, run for president with Trump as his vice president. Vance would then resign to allow Trump to regain the top job.

“But there are others too,” Trump said, without elaboration.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, says “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” — allowing for the potential loophole of Vance resigning in Trump’s favor.

“I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration. I’m focused on the current,” the president said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’” HERE)
