Trump dismissed the vice presidential run to bypass term limits as 'too cute' but did not rule out seeking a third presidential term in 2028, claiming strong poll numbers.
- On Monday aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump ruled out running for vice president in the 2028 election but said he "would love to do it" regarding a third presidential term.

- Looking ahead, Trump would be 82 on January 20, 2029, and amending the Constitution requires two-thirds of Congress plus ratification by 38 states, while his recent MRI at Walter Reed was 'perfect'.
