Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

"No, I'm not joking. I’m not joking," Trump said, but "it is far too early to think about it."

"There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know," he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

I would honestly be surprised if he survives his current term.

The line of succession does not get any better. Vance will be a puppet, but he will also be more cruel to try to show that he's as good as DJT. He can't command DJT's followers like DJT. So, he's going to try to control them in other ways. That's when things will get out of hand.

Same. I mean...I know he has the best medical care possible...but he's old AF, fat, does not exercise, his brain is quickly turning further into mush, and no matter how much his handlers insulate him from doing actual work, he still has an insanely stressful job. I don't see how he makes it to 2028 without major health problems up to and including stroke, heart attack, and/or death.

I meant that the people with guns and violent tendencies are getting pissed off. Republicans won't show up in their own districts/townhall meetings anymore. Thomas Crooks took a shot at trump before all of the recent problems he's caused. I can't imagine him holding an open air rally anywhere in the US right now.

Yes, he is still popular among Republicans, but he only needs to be extremely unpopular with just one psychotic gun nut, and he's pissed a lot of them off recently.

Yep, he's divisive and stirs up extreme emotions. It only takes one person. I thought assassination as soon as I read your first comment
