Donald Trump, the former U. S. president, recently hinted that he understands he can't run for president again in 2028. He mentioned this while flying to South Korea, saying, \"Based on what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run. \"
Trump has been talking about running for a third term, but the U. S. Constitution clearly states that no one can be president more than twice. This rule is known as the 22nd Amendment. Trump even joked about running as vice president, but he quickly dismissed that idea, saying it wouldn't be right.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is a constitutional lawyer, also weighed in on the topic. He said that changing the Constitution to allow Trump to run again would be nearly impossible. It would take about 10 years and a lot of political support to make it happen.
Trump, however, focused on his high poll numbers, saying, \"I have my highest numbers that I've ever had. \" He seemed disappointed but accepted the situation. Johnson also acknowledged the disappointment among many Americans but emphasized the importance of following the Constitution.
Despite Trump's hints, he has not officially ruled out running for president again. He has been teasing the idea for months, but the Constitution stands in his way. For now, it seems Trump's presidential run may be over, but he continues to stay in the spotlight.
