Trump has not entirely dismissed the possibility of seeking a third term as US President, but instead stated that he would "love to do it", despite knowing his options are limited by the 22nd Amendment. However, Trump immediately ruled out attempting to bypass this constitutional restriction by running for Vice-President in 2028.
When asked about the potential for him to run again via the VP route, Trump described the idea as "too cute" and declared that it wouldn't be right. The notion was floated as a way for him to circumvent the two-term limit without requiring his opponents' consent or approval from Congress.
Trump did express interest in running, stating he had never seen better poll numbers than the current ones. He also mentioned that he would support potential successors JD Vance and Marco Rubio, calling them "unstoppable".
However, with the Republican Party's nomination process looming closer for 2028, Trump has been less clear on what his actual intentions are or how he plans to circumvent the constitutional barrier.
It is essential to note that repealing the 22nd Amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and Senate, which appears to be highly unlikely. A more feasible approach for Trump to pursue a third term remains an open question at this point in time.
