Trump Hints at 2028 Run
Donald Trump has hinted that he might run for a third term as U.S. President in 2028.
The U.S. Constitution currently limits presidents to two terms, a rule established by the 22nd Amendment.
Trump's supporters have suggested a loophole where he could become vice-president and then president, but legal experts say this is unlikely to work.
Changing the Constitution to allow a third term would be very difficult.
Trump has downplayed this idea, suggesting instead that a family member might run for president, with him making key decisions.
Overall, while Trump has hinted at a third term, there are significant legal and political hurdles.
Trump's second term began in January 2025, and he is currently working on his 'America First 2.0' agenda, which includes stricter immigration policies and higher tariffs on trading partners.
In the meantime, his son, Donald Trump Jr., is gaining traction as a potential candidate for the 2028 Republican nomination, narrowing the gap with Vice President JD Vance.
