US President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of running for a third presidential term in 2028 during a midterm election campaigning trip to Des Moines, Iowa, Report informs.
"We have the best poll numbers we've ever had. Think of it. If I were to run again, if I run again, would anybody be happy about it," Trump told the cheering crowd of his supporters.
He also expressed hope that Republican candidates will win the midterm elections in November.
Last November, Trump said he was not even thinking about the idea of running for his third presidential term, but refused to answer the question of whom he sees as his likely predecessor.
The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, adopted in 1951, has limited the president's term of office to two terms.
Nevertheless, Trump hinted at the possibility on several occasions. His former chief political strategist and advisor Steve Bannon also said this was possible.
