President Donald Trump seemed to put a pin in the idea of him serving a third term, telling NBC’s Kristen Welker he will “be a two-term president.”
“I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward,” the president said on Sunday’s “Meet the Press.” “But I think we’re going to have four years, and I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular.”
These comments were his firmest to date indicating he won’t attempt to remain in office. For months, Trump has made comments about a third term, which were laughed off as jokes by many Republicans but cheered on by others. Trump’s website posted “Trump 2028” merchandise last week.
