Trump Rules Out VP Gambit But Would ‘Love To’ Run for Third Term

In a statement, President Donald Trump has ruled out the possibility of running as a vice-presidential candidate in the 2028 election. This comes in response to suggestions from some of his supporters that he should find ways to circumvent the Constitution's prohibition on a president being elected to three terms. Trump stated that he would "love to" run for a third term as president, but acknowledged that this would not be possible under the current constitutional framework. The president's comments have sparked renewed discussions about the potential for constitutional changes or reinterpretations that could allow for a longer tenure in the White House. Overall, the president's remarks highlight the ongoing tensions between his political ambitions and the established limits on presidential terms in the United States.
