U.S. President Donald Trump has addressed ongoing rumours about a possible third presidential bid in 2028, indicating that another run is unlikely.
In an interview with CNBC, Trump said, “No, probably not, probably not. I’d like to… I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had,” downplaying the chances of a future campaign.
Despite being constitutionally barred from serving a third term, Trump has often joked about returning to the presidency, sparking speculation among his supporters about a potential comeback.
Back in November, during a meeting with House Republicans, Trump revisited the idea humorously, saying, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we have to figure it out,’” a comment that reportedly drew laughter.
He also suggested that his 2024 run would be his last—unless lawmakers made changes.
The U.S. Constitution’s 22nd Amendment, passed in 1951 after FDR’s unprecedented four terms, limits any president to two elected terms. It also states that anyone who serves more than two years of another president’s term can only be elected once more. This rule effectively bars Trump from seeking office again after two terms.
Nevertheless, Trump has continued to stir debate with comments hinting at loopholes. In a previous NBC News interview, when asked if he was joking about another run, he stated, “I am not joking,” and added, “There are methods which you could do it.”
These remarks have alarmed critics, who argue they threaten democratic norms. Even Trump’s former Attorney General, Pam Bondi, made it clear during her Senate confirmation hearing that a third term is unconstitutional unless the law is changed.
While some of Trump’s loyal supporters remain enthusiastic about his potential return, legal experts insist a third term is not legally feasible under current constitutional provisions.
