Remember when Donald Trump floated the idea of running for a third term and everyone pretended he was just kidding? Well, he’s not. But don’t just take our word for it.

READ/WATCH: ‘I’m Not Joking’ — Why Trump Believes He Can Run Again

Trump has repeatedly claimed “there are methods” he could run for an unconstitutional four more years in office before clarifying, “I’m not joking.” 🤨

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump told NBC News Sunday, who then asked if he wanted a third term.

“I like working,” he said, ominously.

When asked to clarify what exactly that meant, he doubled down.

“I’m not joking. But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

NBC then pressed Trump on whether he’s been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term.

“There are methods which you could do it,” he said.

NBC asked about a possible scenario where Vice President JD Vance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. Trump responded, “That’s one method.”

“But there are others too,” he added. Asked to share another — Trump simply responded “no.”

Here’s the Deal ➡️ In America, we have this thing called the 22nd Amendment. It’s been around since 1951 and limits the number of four-year terms a president can serve to TWO.

It was created to prevent our democracy from becoming a dictatorship and carry on the noble tradition started by George Washington of peacefully stepping aside after 8 years.

Amending the Constitution is difficult — but not impossible. It requires either a two-thirds vote of Congress or two-thirds of the states agreeing to call a constitutional convention to propose changes. Either route would then require ratification from three-quarters of the states.
