Top Republican Says Trump Bluffing?

Senator Says Trump Is “Trolling the Press” While Staying Laser-Focused on America First Agenda

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump is once again dominating headlines—this time with bold remarks suggesting he might consider a third term in the White House. As expected, the liberal media exploded in outrage. But according to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), it’s all part of Trump’s masterful strategy.

“Not unless the Constitution changes,” Thune told reporters, when asked about Trump’s 2028 possibilities. “You keep asking him, and I think he’s probably having fun with it—messing with you.”

⚖️ Could Trump Run Again? The Truth Behind the Third Term Buzz

President Trump’s comments came during a Sunday event where he responded to growing speculation from supporters who say they want him in office long after 2028.

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said. “But I always say—we’ve got a long way to go. It’s still early. Right now, I’m focused on delivering real results.”

But when asked whether he was joking, Trump made it clear: “I’m not joking. There are methods you could use.”

He even floated the idea of Vice President J.D. Vance running and then stepping aside—though that scenario would raise constitutional issues under the 12th Amendment.

“There are others too,” Trump added, cryptically, without offering more details.

🧠 Constitutional Limits? Here’s What It Would Take

For any president to serve a third term under current law, a major constitutional shift would be required. Either:

• A two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, or
• Two-thirds of U.S. states calling a constitutional convention

Then, three-fourths of all states would need to ratify any amendment. In other words—it’s a long shot, but not impossible if public momentum builds.

💥 Trump Still Has the Power to Drive the Narrative

Whether serious or strategic, Trump’s comments have once again proven his unmatched ability to control the national conversation. While Democrats panic and the media spins, millions of Americans see a strong leader unafraid to challenge the status quo.

For conservative Americans, especially those 50 and older, this is another reminder of why Trump remains the most influential political figure in America today.

He speaks directly to the people—and never backs down from a fight.
