Trump hints at third presidential run, stirs legal debate
Donald Trump suggested the possibility of running for a third presidential term, which sparked controversy. This information was reported by NBC News.
In an interview with NBC News, Donald Trump suggested that he is considering the possibility of running for a third presidential term. Although the U.S. Constitution prohibits such an action, Trump stated that there are "methods" that could make it possible. His statements have triggered a wave of criticism and concerns about the future of democracy in the U.S.
Trump's remarks faced sharp criticism from Democrats. Daniel Goldman, a congressman from New York, emphasized that this is another step towards seizing power and dismantling democracy. He called on Republicans to oppose these ambitions.
Legal experts, such as Jeremy Paul from Northeastern University, stress that there are no credible legal arguments allowing Trump for a third term.
Additionally, Derek Muller from Notre Dame noted that the 12th Amendment prevents Trump from assuming the office of vice president, which rules out one of the potential ways to bypass the limitations.
Some analysts suggest that Trump may be using these remarks as a political strategy to demonstrate his strength. Derek Muller pointed out that as an outgoing president, Trump has an interest in maintaining the impression that he still has influence in politics.
Trump claims that his popularity among Americans could justify a third term. However, Gallup data shows that his support never exceeded 47 percent during his second term. In recent months, support for his economic policies has also declined.
Donald Trump does not back down. US will "have" Greenland
President of the United States Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News, did not rule out the possibility of forcibly acquiring Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark. However, he emphasized that the use of force may not be necessary.
Trump emphasizes that the United States needs Greenland to ensure international security. During his first term (2017-2021), he showed significant interest in taking control of the island.
