BREAKING: “Trump wants a third term? Mike Johnson says ‘impossible’, but the former president still wants to occupy the White House in 2028”
WASHINGTON D.C. — In a stunning political development, House Speaker Mike Johnson made it clear that the 22nd Amendment bars President Donald Trump from running for a third term, stressing that any change would require “a complicated, multi-year process” to be passed by Congress and the states.
Trump, however, did not hide his excitement when answering reporters on Air Force One, saying, “I would love to do it,” but admitted that he would not be allowed to do it now. The president also emphasized that his interest in a third term was to spite Democrats, and asserted that the Republican Party has bright future leaders like Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance.
Not stopping there, Trump confidently showed off the results of a recent cognitive test at Walter Reed Medical Center, confusing it with an “IQ test,” and challenged Democratic congressmen Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take the test. He described the tests as “difficult and complex,” designed to detect early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, and emphasized his mental clarity.
While many observers have called Trump’s comments controversial, House Speaker Mike Johnson has maintained that there is no legal path for Trump to run for a third term. Johnson has described those who fear a third term as “crazy” and asserted that upholding the Constitution is the top priority.
The current tense political situation is raising many questions about the 2028 presidential election, constitutional powers and the mental health of US leaders, causing the public and media to closely monitor Trump’s every move in the coming years.
