""I haven't really thought about it," he told reporters on Air Force One when asked about Bannon's comments. Trump claimed he has the "best poll numbers" he'd ever had, even though prominent polls suggest otherwise. He said if Rubio and Vance "formed a group" they'd be "unstoppable." But the president again added, "I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever.""
"Reality check: Trump has said he's "not joking" about a third term. And while legal scholars have told Axios they're taking his comments seriously, he's constitutionally barred from running again. Trump previously said in a conversation with NBC News that there were "methods" by which he could serve another term, such as Vance running for president and then passing the baton back to him."
Steve Bannon suggested there was "a plan" for Trump to stay in office. Trump said he "has the best poll numbers" he'd ever had and praised the idea of Rubio and Vance forming a group as "unstoppable." Trump declined to clearly rule out a third term, at one point saying "Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me." He previously mentioned possible "methods," including Vance running and then passing the baton back. Legal scholars say they take the comments seriously, and the 12th Amendment bars constitutionally ineligible persons from serving as vice president.
