Trump Suggests He Is Serving Third Presidential Term During Speech
Reality Check with Ross Coulthart
President Trump: America 'just getting started' as nation celebrates 250 years
"We've rebuilt our military in my first term. We use it in a bit. In actually, I should say 3rd term, but I won't do that because I don't want any controversy."
During his July 4th address, Trump referred to his current presidency as potentially a third term before catching himself and saying he wouldn't say that to avoid controversy. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms, making a third term constitutionally prohibited. This remark echoes his frequent refusal to accept the 2020 election results and previous comments about serving beyond constitutional limits.
