Trump seeks not third, but ‘fourth’ term as US president in new post: ‘Record numbers all over the place’

"Should I try for a fourth term?" US President Donald Trump asked as he floated the idea of running for another term, claiming "record numbers all over the place."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump, yet again, reflected upon his desire to run for another term as the US president. However, the US Constitution stands as the biggest hurdle in that path.

Trump has repeatedly hinted at running for more terms as US President, despite the US Constitution limiting a person to only two terms.

In November 2025, Trump, who is currently serving his second term in the White House, posted an AI-generated image of himself holding a sign reading "TRUMP 2028, YES!", captioned "TRUMPLICANS!".

The Trump Organization had also started selling hats that say “Trump 2028” and t-shirts that say “Trump 2028 (Rewrite the Rules).”

This was despite Trump admitting that he is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. "If you read it, it's pretty clear," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while travelling from Japan to South Korea in October last year. “I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad.”

He had, however, reiterated his personal interest in more time in office. “I would love to do it,” Trump had said.

Last year, in a video, Trump was seen telling reporters that “in a way,” a third term would be a “fourth term because the other election, the 2020 election, was totally rigged.” Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.
