Americans Horrified After Trump Finally Admits the Truth: He’s ‘NOT JOKING’ About Serving a Third Term
In a move that’s as surprising as finding out water is wet, former Donald Trump has once again floated the idea of a third term in office. Yes, you read that right. Despite the 22nd Amendment clearly stating that presidents are limited to two terms, Trump seems to believe there are “methods” to sidestep this pesky constitutional detail. During a recent NBC interview, he hinted at these mysterious strategies but, in true Trump fashion, left us all guessing about the specifics.
Now, for those of us who paid attention in civics class, the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951 to prevent any president from overstaying their welcome in the White House. But Trump, never one to let a little thing like the Constitution stand in his way, has been dropping hints about a third term since his first stint in office. Back in 2020, he suggested he deserved a bonus term because, according to him, his campaign was spied on.
Fast forward to 2025, and the plot thickens. Trump’s allies are reportedly brainstorming ways to keep him in power. One particularly creative (and by creative, we mean eyebrow-raising) idea involves JD Vance running for president and then conveniently handing the reins back to Trump. It’s like a political game of hot potato, but with the highest office in the land.
Of course, amending the Constitution isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It requires a two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. Given the current political climate, that’s about as likely as pigs flying in formation over the Capitol.
Critics are understandably alarmed by these developments. Tampering with presidential term limits is seen as a direct threat to the democratic principles that underpin the United States. After all, there’s a reason we don’t have monarchs or dictatorsโAmerica decided long ago that power should be shared and checked.

But Trump’s musings don’t stop at extending his stay in the Oval Office. He’s also entertained the idea of acquiring Greenland, even suggesting that military action could be on the table. Because nothing says “stable leadership” like contemplating an invasion over a chunk of ice.
While most former presidents settle into a life of memoir-writing and occasional public appearances, Trump seems intent on keeping us all on our toes with his unconventional ideas. Whether these musings are serious plans or just attempts to stay in the headlines, one thing’s for sure: the political landscape remains as unpredictable as ever.
As you’d imagine, people on social media were sickened:
Dear media,
Itโs not:
โPresident Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.โItโs: โKleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve โThird Termโ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He โSworeโ An Oath To Defend.โ
Youโre welcome.

Iโm against violence but anyone who wants a third Trump term should be punched in the fucking face.

Trump says he can run for a third term. He can't. The constitution is crystal clear. This is exactly what the rest of the country was worried about. That he wouldn't listen to our laws or our constitution. That he cares more about power than he does about democracy or America.

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. https://t.co/ZQpEL8kgNm pic.twitter.com/qmjHbfF0lY

This is what dictators do.
In three months, Trump has crashed the stock market and spiked costs.
Now, he's scheming for a third term instead of doing anything to make Americans' lives better. https://t.co/MWCwIzS9JQ

Look at how much damage Trump has done to the country in just two months.
Imagine the utter destruction in 4 years!
The idea of anyone wanting Trump for a third term (other that his most diehard cultists) is laughable.

If youโre cheering for a third term for Trump, just admit you donโt give a damn about the constitution and you want a king. Then, at least, we can identify the loyalists for the traitor class they truly are.

Media: โTrump wonโt rule out third term.โ
