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.
