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.

    A lot of people would like to have Obama back, too. It’s weird how these monsters want to set up a specific scenario where Obama cannot run again, but donvict can.

    That’s weird.

      I’m betting far more people want to see Trump strung up by his ankles, maybe he should bow to pressure there as well.

      Your last name must start with the first 4 letters T-R-U-M and you must be the most beautiful white man ever known, everyone says so.

      I think he should attack Greenland.

      Hell, I’d even let him take a pair of chopsticks with him, if he can fit it in his kayak.
