The idea of an additional term run for Trump has reached mainstream status after recent comments made by the President himself seem to hint at this possibility. In a recent interview aboard Air Force One, Trump referred to this subject, discussing how he could achieve the presidency one more time.
Trump stated that, while he could get to be president once again by running as VP and then assuming after the resignation of his running partner, he would not do it in this way.
He declared:
I’d be allowed to do that. But I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that.
“I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever,” Trump assessed on the probability of a third term.
Even with these statements, traders in Polymarket, one of the largest prediction markets, still rule an announcement for a third term unlikely, with less than 13% deeming it possible, at least in 2025.
The probability reached as high as 18% on October 24 after Steve Bannon, who served as a chief strategist of Trump during his first term, declared there was “a plan” for Trump to be elected for an additional term.
“Trump is going to be president in ’28, and people ought to just get accommodated with that,” he assessed.
Trump reaching a third term in office would contradict the 22th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
It clearly states that “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
While the possibility of it happening is still uncertain, Trump might announce his intention of running for president for a third time.
Nonetheless, any attempt to circumvent the 22th would have unpredictable effects on the U.S. economy, potentially affecting the worldwide economy adversely.
