In recognition of the restrictions outlined in the US Constitution, Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that he is “not allowed” to seek a third term.
Trump and his followers have frequently brought up the possibility of the 79-year-old running for president in 2028, which has alarmed his opponents and delighted supporters.
“I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had, and you know, based on what I read, I guess I’m not allowed to run, so we’ll see what happens… It’s too bad,” Trump said on Air Force One.
The US Constitution limits presidents to two terms, and Trump began his second in January.
Trump, who served his initial term from 2017 to 2021, often mentions that his supporters have called for him to govern beyond his current tenure, despite the constitutional restriction.
Additionally, the former reality TV star recently put red caps with the words “Trump 2028” printed on a desk in the Oval Office.
According to a widely held belief among his followers, JD Vance, the current vice president, would run alongside Trump for president in 2028.
This week, he disregarded that notion and stated on Wednesday that it was “pretty clear” that he would never be able to run again.
“But we have a lot of great people,” Trump said.
