Trump Declined to Clarify Whether He Would Seek a Third Term

Donald Trump declined to clarify whether he might seek a third term, leaving ample room for speculation. In an interview with NBC News, the US president sidestepped host Tom Llamas’s direct question about whether he could envision remaining in the White House after January 21, 2029—the day after his successor’s inauguration.

“I don’t know. That would be interesting. But wouldn’t it be terrible if I agreed with you—if I gave you the answer you’re looking for? It would make life much less exciting… I’m doing this for one reason only—to make America great again, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Trump said.
