Trump on Running a Third Term: "I Would Love to Do It"

TIME

The Constitution is clear: Donald Trump cannot have a third presidential term. But that hasn’t stopped him and his allies from talking about it.  “I would love to do it,” the U.S. President told reporters aboard Air Force One  en route to Japan on Monday, while he also falsely claimed: “I have my best numbers ever.” When pressed if he’s ruling out the possibility of a third term, Trump kept his answer ambiguous: “Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me.”
