Trump says he's 'not joking' about seeking a third term: 'There are methods which you could do it'

President Donald Trump on Saturday once again floated running for a third term as president, telling NBC News he's "not joking" when he suggests he might run again despite the Constitution's 22nd Amendment that says "no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice." "A lot of people want me to do it," Trump told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Sunday. "But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it's very early in the administration." Trump added he's "focused on the current" administration.

"Well, that's one," Trump replied. "But there are others too. There are others." Welker asked Trump if he could "tell [her] another" scenario where Trump could run for and win a third term. "No," Trump replied. "Okay. So, but but sir, I'm hearing -- you don't sound like you're joking. I've heard you joke about this a number of times," Welker said.

Trump keeps his promises to voters -- except the economic ones

'Giant question mark' over Trump admin's handling of classified information: national security expert

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on March 27, 2025, ordered top Trump administration officials to preserve records of their messages sent on the messaging app Signal from March 11 to March 15 following a transparency watchdog group's lawsuit alleging that the officials have violated the Federal Records Act. This marked the latest development since The Atlantic on March 24 published a Signal chat among Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other national security officials discussing specific plans to attack Houthi militants in Yemen. Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief at The Atlantic, was mistakenly included in the chat and wrote about what he saw.
