US President Donald Trump has said he will not seek a third term in office, while he has repeatedly hinted at his desire to become president in 2028. Reuters reported this on Wednesday, October 29.
From Trump's side, this statement is a "marked shift," as he has been discussing his desire to be the head of the White House for the third time for several months, the newspaper writes. However, during a trip to Asia, the US president changed his mind.
"Trump often teases a third term at his rallies and happily hands out "Trump 2028" hats to his friends at the White House. Some political analysts see the third term references as a strategic way to remain relevant, antagonize his political opponents and avoid becoming a lame duck," the article says.
The day before, US House Speaker Mike Johnson said he saw no way to change the Constitution to allow Trump to run for a third term.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in July, US President Donald Trump's approval rating dropped to 40%, which is the lowest level of his support for a second term in office.
On May 21, US President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, said that he does not rule out the possibility of running for president in the future.
We would like to remind you that the support of US President Donald Trump on the eve of 100 days of his second term was the lowest among all American presidents over the past 70 years.
