Donald Trump, who has recently been elected for a second term as President of the United States, has told House Republicans that he might consider a constitution-breaking third term in office. President-elect Trump, who has a penchant for making controversial statements, said “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you (supporters) say otherwise”.

During his speech to fellow Republicans elected to the House of Representatives, Mr Trump said, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure something else’.” His statement at a hotel in Washington DC ahead of his meeting with President Joe Biden was cheered by his supporters.
