The Guardian • • nation
Key Points:
- At a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, Donald Trump joked about having “the right to run again” for president, despite the 22nd Amendment prohibiting a third term.
- Trump claimed Democrats “stole” the 2020 election and used this as justification for his belief that he should be allowed to run again, a claim widely debunked and unconstitutional.
- He has repeatedly teased a third presidential run, including wearing “Trump 2028” merchandise and making public statements suggesting entitlement to another term.
- Allies, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson, have dismissed Trump’s claims as trolling, while opponents express concern over the seriousness of his statements.
- Trump acknowledged the constitutional limits but continued to hint at running again, emphasizing the lack of “wiggle room” in the law during his latest rally remarks.
