Trump rules out VP run in 2028, but says he ‘would love’ a third term

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, said he “would love” to serve a third term in office, but he has decided against running for vice president in the 2028 election.

Despite the US Constitution’s ban on anyone from becoming president for a third time, the comments on Monday were made.

Trump, who presided over the country from 2017 to 2021, officially resigned from office in January.

The 79-year-old has frequently feigned serving beyond the constitutionally mandated two terms, making fun of it at rallies and making fun of Trump’s supporters wearing “Trump 2028” hats.

Some allies have taken those warnings seriously, suggesting that they are considering whether to pursue legal or political options.

Some claim that Trump could run for vice president in opposition to the ban, while another candidate resigned and ran for president, allowing him to reclaim the presidency.

Trump said to reporters on Air Force One on Monday that he “would be allowed to do that” when asked if he would run for vice president in November 2028.

He continued, however, that he would not proceed in that direction.

“That’s not what I would do. It’s too adorable, in my opinion. Yes, because it’s too adorable, I would eject that rule. That’s not what I believe the people would like. It is too adorable. It wouldn’t be right if it weren’t.

However, according to scholars, Trump is not eligible to run for president if he is not also eligible to run for vice president. No person who is not constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of president shall be eligible to hold the office of vice-president of the United States, according to the US Constitution’s 12th Amendment.

Trump said, “I would love to do it,” referring to the possibility of a third term in office on Monday. My best numbers ever come from me.

When a reporter asked him whether he was opposed to a third term, he responded, “Am I not ruling it out? ” You’ll have to tell me, I mean.

Trump responded, “I haven’t really thought about it,” when asked whether he would be willing to fight in court over the legality of another presidential bid.

The US president added that Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance are “great people” who might run for president in 2028.

He claimed that if a group were to form ever, it would be “unstoppable.” I do, in fact. That is what I think.

Trump made the remarks while taking a flight from Malaysia to Japan on the Air Force One.

He spent the weekend attending the Kuala Lumpur summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and will then fly to South Korea to take part in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
