Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

    Did you see the entire 4 year presidency so you can compare it to the current one or did you just see the debate bro? You realize he was on TV talking every day for 4 years and fox news captured all the speech blunders. It was not that many.

    Did you see anything but the debate bro? be honest? Did you say Genocide Joe and Vote Jill Stien and hand the election to trump? Pretending like biden was a bad president is an opinion reserved for Fox news enjoyers. Biden was not the problem you were. The low information voter. The voter that shows up last minute and sorts through a couple narratives and sends it. Or are you the voter that splits the party in the most important election of our life time. Which one are you bro? You don’t sound like you need to be discussing politics, you need to be studying it.

      Sorry, is it suddenly a problem that I judge a candidate by the campaign they run like literally everyone else?

      I only bring up the debate because while there had been gaffes and brain-farts before, this was the most he’s spoken at one time in a while and it was real fuckin’ bad, man, and anyone with eyes could see it. I dunno if it was a new problem or an old problem getting worse, but I’m gonna go ahead and guess it’s the second one since his staff has already spoken out about his issues. I’m not saying Biden was a bad president (certainly not compared to either Trump term so far), and he at least had a competent administration around him. I’m saying he was a bad candidate and should not have run again. You know, like he said he wouldn’t.

        I look forward to not expecting your vote against trumps 3rd term. Be sure to keep criticizing the dems in the past and not focusing on the authoritarian coup underway!
