Donald Trump hints at running for a third term again in bizarre speech

The idea of President Trump running for a third term isn't going away any time soon...

Donald Trump has once more alluded at his intentions of running for president again.

President Trump is currently serving his second term in office, having been sworn in again last month at the White House.

The businessman-turned-politician first served as president from 2017 to 2021 and, while he wanted to serve another term, he lost the election to Joe Biden.

Now Trump's back once more and, while there's legislation that states a person cannot be president for more than two terms, the 78-year-old keeps teasing that he may run again.

Yesterday (February 20), the POTUS hosted a Black History Month event at the White House where he boasted that his party received 'more votes from Black Americans than any Republican president ever'.

Trump continued to say: "I won't be happy the next time. Should I run again? You tell me."

"There's your controversy right there," he added as people started to chant 'four more years' at him.

It's thought that Trump's sentiments mark the fourth time in a month that he's hinted at running for president again, despite the 22nd Amendment outlining that this isn't possible.

As per the National Constitution Center, the 22nd Amendment states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

But there are potential ways Trump could run again.

Firstly, US Representative Andy Ogles has shared a proposal that would change the wording of the legislation.

"This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs," Ogles has said.

Instead, he has suggested that the amendment reads: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

While this terminology would allow Trump to run again, it would prevent the likes of Barack Obama from doing so as the ex POTUS served two terms in a row.
