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 dictatorsโ€”America 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:
