Trump Dismisses Third Term Talk: ‘I’ll Be An Eight-Year President’
- President Trump stated in a May 2025 NBC "Meet the Press" interview that he will be a two-term president and not seek a third term.
- This follows earlier comments in which Trump acknowledged strong support and discussed possible methods to pursue a third term despite the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two elected terms.
- Trump indicated his intention to serve two terms and expressed a desire to complete four successful years before passing the leadership to other prominent Republicans, naming figures such as JD Vance and Marco Rubio as potential future candidates.
- He said, "many people want me to do it" regarding a third term but called legislative proposals to keep him in office a "compliment" and denied planning to run again.
- Experts agree the 22nd Amendment bans a third elected term, requiring complex constitutional changes to allow it, and Trump's recent remarks suggest he now rejects such an attempt.
