Trump at NRA convention floats 3-term presidency


The former president has more recently shut down the proposition of seeking a third term, which is barred by the Constitution.


Former President Donald Trump on Saturday floated the idea of a third term if he wins in November.

“You know, FDR 16 years — almost 16 years — he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” Trump quipped at the National Rifle Association annual meeting, speaking before a crowd of gun rights supporters.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday floated the idea of a third term if he wins in November.

Some in the crowd shouted in response: “Three.”

It’s not the first time Trump has mentioned extending his stay in the White House, an idea he suggested while on the campaign trail in 2020.
