Americans have shared their thoughts on if Donald Trump should run for office again.

While it's currently impossible for someone to run for office for a third term, Trump has been teasing the idea ever since he became president again in January.

As it stands, America's 22nd Amendment prohibits someone from running for more than two terms in office; but US Representative Andy Ogles wants this changed.

Instead, Ogles has suggested that the law 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."

Basically, because there was a gap between Trump's first and second presidency, he should be able to run again for a second consecutive term.

While the likes of Trump and Ogles wants the POTUS to remain in office until 2032, it's been unclear if US citizens want this to happen.

This has since changed though in the wake of Trump's latest approval ratings being published.

According to Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of poll participants approve of Trump's performance in office so far, down seven percent compared to February figures.

Wednesday (April 30) will mark Trump's 100th day as president.

People were also asked for their thoughts on the POTUS' controversial tariff hikes that's caused chaos in the global stock market in recent weeks, with 59 percent disapproving on the increases.

In a separate poll by Reuters and Ipsos, respondents were asked if Trump should or shouldn't run for a third term.

"Three-quarters of respondents said Trump should not run for a third term in office — a path Trump has said he would like to pursue, though the U.S. Constitution bars him from doing so," Reuters revealed.

"A majority of Republican respondents — 53% — said Trump should not seek a third term," it added.

While it seems Trump and some of his closest allies are keen for him to run for president again, the same can't be said for the rest of America...
