Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, has publicly expressed his ambition to remain in the White House beyond the two-term limit established by the U.S. Constitution.

In a recent interview with NBC, Trump asserted that he was 'not joking' about the possibility of running for a third term after 2028.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, states that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, but Trump indicated that there are 'methods' to bypass this restriction.

He claimed that a significant number of people would support his bid for another term, although he noted it was 'too early' to discuss concrete plans.

Among the scenarios suggested by Trump was the idea of former Vice President JD Vance potentially winning the presidency before 'stepping aside' for him.

Trump described this as one of several possibilities for how he could regain office.

This is not the first instance where the 78-year-old billionaire has floated the idea of a third presidential term.

In January, he expressed uncertainty regarding the legality of his potential candidacy, discussing with Republican officials the idea that he might run again if 'we can find a way.'

Additionally, a Republican lawmaker from Tennessee has proposed an amendment to the Constitution to facilitate a third term for Trump, though any such reform would require a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as ratification from 38 states, rendering it a highly improbable outcome.

Despite Trump's assertions about a potential third run, he has also suggested that the current campaign might be his last.

However, his continued engagement with the notion of extending his presidency has raised questions about his intentions and the future of his political career.
