President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that he’d “love” for the Democrats to run Barack Obama against him in 2028 if he decides to run for a third term.
The President took questions from reporters as he signed an executive order with rock artist Kid Rock.
Fox’s Peter Doocy asked President Trump whether or not he thinks the Democrats will try to run Obama for a third term in 2028 in light of news that the 45th and 47th President may try for a third term.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, President Trump told reporters that there are several “methods” that could be used to make him President for a third term. “I’m not joking,” he said.
Still, the President says that right now, he is “focused on the current” and “it’s far too early to think about it.”
One of these methods could involve JD Vance running for office and stepping down for Trump to take over. “But there are others too,” the President added, refusing to share more with the leftist outlet.
Earlier this month, War Room host and Trump advisor Steve Bannon told News Nation’s Chris Cuomo, “I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028. I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” doubling down on his comments at CPAC in February.
“We’ve had greater longshots than Trump 2028. We’ve got a lot of stuff we’re working on. We’re not prepared to talk about it publicly,” Bannon said.
This also comes as GOP lawmakers are weighing the option of amending the 22nd Amendment.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Third Term Project, spearheaded by Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) who introduced a resolution in January 2025, is pushing for a constitutional amendment to permit a president to be elected up to three times, provided their prior terms were non-consecutive, a condition tailored to Trump as the only living ex-president with non-consecutive terms.
They argue that a third Trump term would “reverse the nation’s decay and restore America to greatness.”
President Trump said a 2028 race between him and Obama “would be a good one,” and that “people are asking me to run.”
“They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that. But I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job. We have four years, just about,” he said before touting his success in less than 100 days with tariffs and trillions of dollars in foreign investments.
Regarding investments in American business and manufacturing, the President said, “I think we’ll be at $5 trillion very soon.”
WATCH:
Doocy: I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you are allowed, for some reason, to run for a third term, is there a thought the Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you for his third term?
Trump: I’d love that. I’d love that. That would be a good one. I’d like that. People are asking me to run, and there’s a whole story about running for a third term. I don’t know. I never looked into it. They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that. But I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job. We have four years, just about. Almost close to four years.
Time is flying, but it’s still close to four years, and we’re getting a lot of credit for having done a great job in the first almost 100 days. And we have some big things we’re going to be announcing over the next two days that you know very well, Peter, and I think it’s going to be something that’s going to bring a lot of wealth back to our country, tremendous wealth back to our country, actually.
