Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

    Yeah. The method involves suspending the constitution.

    He needs to be driven out of office, like now.

        I don’t believe we can come back from this

        It can, but that would require a huge number if Americans putting in a lot more effort than they seem to care to do.

      They’ve already installed a guy that hasn’t been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They’re breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.
