From Breitbart: President Donald Trump said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he was not considering a third term as president.
Host Kristen Welker said, “The Trump organization is selling hats that say Trump 2028. Are you seriously considering a third term, Mr. President, even though it’s prohibited by the Constitution or is this about staying politically viable?”
Trump said, “I will say this: so many people want me to do it. I have never had requests so strong as that, but it’s something that, to the best of my knowledge, you’re not allowed to do. I don’t know if that’s constitutional, that they’re not allowing you to do or anything else, but there are many people willing to wear the 2028 hats, but this is not something I’m looking to do. I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally, a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward, but I think we’ll have four years, And I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular.”
Welker noted that the U.S. Constitution does prohibit him from running again, and questioned Trump again about some of his allies who are seriously pushing for him to find a way to run again.
The president repeated his assurance that he is not looking to run again in 2028.
Welker questioned him on who he viewed as his likely successor.
She also noted that Trump has built a political movement that has transformed the Republican Party, and asked, “When you look to the future, do you think the MAGA movement can survive without you as its leader?”
“Yes, I do,” Trump responded, noting how strong the MAGA movement is.
He took a stab at the Democrat Party in such disarray, and pointed to progressive Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Tex.), saying she is “definitely a low-IQ person.”
