Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

    he’s literally thinking about what Zelenski did in Ukraine to extend his power / term.

    Uhhhhhhhh zelenski did not start the war. Russia did.

    and the U.S. is struggling with debt.

    Struggling is a bit much… Sure, it’s going to get there, but current levels are not a struggle.

      I would add that the war with Ukraine is also happening on Ukraine soil, which is very different than a war happening across large bodies of water, as is more likely for the U.S.
