Donald Trump, during a trip to Asia, hinted at his interest in an unconstitutional third term as US president but did not definitively rule it out. He cited his “best numbers ever” as a reason he would “love to do it”. This is not the first time Trump has shown interest in extending his time in office beyond the two terms permitted by the US constitution. His recent remarks provide more insight into the thought process within some MAGA circles about how to achieve this.
