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.

    You said “not 2012 Obama after we found out he wasn’t much better

    I literally didn’t…

    But by 2012 we knew it was all bullshit and most people were holding their noses again.

    People voted for change in 2008.

    In 2012 they voted to not have a Republican.

    You seem well…adjusted?

    I think the issue is I said one thing, you’ve clearly misinterpreted it…

    And now you want me to defend a position you made up for me.

    Why would anyone spend their free time doing that, even without you insulting them?

    Why would anyone every help you understand things?

      I just quoted it underneath the original comment so you can just check that out and I’ll take an apology whenever.

      It’s litterally the last sentence in the comment I replied to so yes, I ask you again. Are you okay or did a reach a different person than the one who wrote the comment with this screen name?
