In a recent interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," former President Donald Trump raised eyebrows by discussing the possibility of a third term in office. He remarked he was “not joking” about the idea and claimed many Americans wanted him to run again, suggesting there might be “methods” to bypass the constitutional two-term limit set by the 22nd Amendment. During the interview, Trump expressed his anger toward Russian President Vladimir Putin and reiterated his intention to impose tariffs on global competitors. While the current White House maintains that Trump should focus on his ongoing term and that it's “too early” to discuss future races, they acknowledged Trump's significant support among his base for his “America First” agenda.
