TRUMP RULES OUT VP RUN IN 2028, TEASES ABOUT THIRD TERM

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday ruled out running for the vice presidency in the 2028 U.S. election, an idea some supporters have suggested as a way for him to serve beyond his current term.

"I'd be allowed to do that," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "But I wouldn't do that. I think it's too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it's too cute. I think the people wouldn't like that. It's too cute. It wouldn't be right."

The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone from being elected to the presidency a third time. Some have proposed that Trump could circumvent this by running as vice president, then assuming the presidency if his running mate resigned - though legal experts have questioned the constitutionality of such a move.

Trump has previously hinted at interest in extending his time in office, even distributing "Trump 2028" hats at the White House.
