The Constitution is clear: Donald Trump cannot have a third presidential term. But that hasn’t stopped him and his allies from talking about it.

Despite his flirtations with a third run, Trump told Time in April 2024 that he didn’t plan on seeking a third term. “I wouldn’t be in favor of it. I wouldn’t be in favor of a challenge [to the 22nd Amendment]. Not for me,” Trump told the magazine. “I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all. I intend to serve four years and do a great job.”

President Trump told reporters on Monday that he “would love to” run for a third term as president — despite the Constitution’s two-term limit — hinting for at least the seventh time since last year’s election that he hopes to remain in office beyond January 2029.
