Former US President Donald Trump has sparked fresh speculation about his political future, hinting at the possibility of a third presidential term while dismissing the idea of running as vice-president in 2028. During his recent trip to Asia, Trump addressed reporters, labeling the vice-presidential suggestion as ‘too cute’ and ‘not right.’ Although he did not elaborate on how he might pursue another term, Trump emphasized his strong poll numbers and expressed enthusiasm for the idea. Last week, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon claimed a ‘plan’ was in place to secure Trump’s return to the White House in 2028. However, the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms, making such a move legally challenging. Trump also highlighted potential successors, including Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whom he described as ‘unstoppable.’ Meanwhile, Democrats like California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Vice-President Kamala Harris have signaled their interest in the 2028 presidential race. Trump’s remarks continue to fuel debates about his political ambitions and the future of US leadership.
