"But that hasn't stopped him and his allies from floating the idea in public and plastering it on merchandise, making critics and Constitutional scholars squirm. Driving the news: Just days after seemingly declining to rule out another stay on Pennsylvania Avenue, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, "I guess I'm not allowed to run." But he added, "I guess we'll see what happens.""
"He boasted that he had the "best numbers for any president in many years" and that he has the "highest numbers that I've ever had." (According to many prominent polls, that is false.) Trump said it's "too bad" he can't run again. The intrigue: Trump's apparent acknowledgment of the 22nd amendment came less than 24 hours after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he had spoken with Trump about the "constrictions of the Constitution.""
Donald Trump and allies have publicly floated and merchandised ideas to extend his presidency beyond two elected terms, provoking critics and constitutional scholars. He told reporters, "I guess I'm not allowed to run," and also said, "I guess we'll see what happens," while boasting of high poll numbers that many prominent surveys contradict. House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged discussing constitutional "constrictions" with Trump and expressed skepticism about a 2028 path. Steve Bannon suggested a "plan" to sidestep the 22nd Amendment. Amending the Constitution is described as an extreme long shot, and a vice-presidential route was called "too cute."
