Trump insists he’s ‘not joking’ about a third term and hints at ‘methods’ despite constitutional limits: Live updates
Donald Trump claimed that serving as president again in 2028 would be a fourth term just hours after stating that he was not “not joking” about considering another four years in the White House.
During an interview with NBC News Sunday, Trump told Kristen Welker “there are methods” that could enable him to stay in office for an unconstitutional third term.
While heading back to Washington, DC on board Air Force One on Sunday evening, the president stated that it would actually be “sort of a fourth term” claiming that the 2020 election – which he lost to Joe Biden – was “rigged.”
Trump also told Welker that he was “p***** off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the lack of a ceasefire in Ukraine and threatened to bomb Iran if there was no new nuclear deal. He also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy of trying to back out of a potential new minerals deal.
Stocks tumbled around the globe on Monday ahead of Trump’s promised “Liberation Day” Wednesday when he is expected to impose reciprocal tariffs on “all countries” that levy duties on U.S. goods.
