Summary

Donald Trump refused to rule out seeking a third term as president, telling NBC News there are “methods” to do so and emphasizing, “I’m not joking.”

Though the 22nd Amendment bars presidents from serving more than two terms, Trump suggested possible workarounds, including a VP succession plan.

He cited strong poll support and added, “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Allies like Rep. Andy Ogles and Steve Bannon back the idea. Amending term limits would require a complex constitutional process.

    No glass in Pennsylvania. No weapons allowed either. And yet, he was inches away.

      Inches count. How’d the shooter fair? He still kicking? But also, candidate Trump was just a candidate then. More events back then meant less planning, with worse personnel.

      He’s not having that rapid stream of events to attend these days. They get more planning if there are fewer big public events, and it’s the Secret Service’s presidential agents protecting him now.

      …what’s the end game anyways? Putting Peter Thiel’s avatar in charge?
