Almost half of the Republicans who identify as members of the Make America Great Again movement have said President Donald Trump can run for a third term in office despite being term-limited by the Constitution, according to a new poll.

A SurveyUSA poll of 2,491 registered voters found that 21 percent of all respondents said Trump was eligible for a third term in the White House, while 49 percent of MAGA-identifying Republicans said the same.

Why It Matters​

Trump, who began his second term in January, has repeatedly suggested that he could run again in 2028. Though his comments are often made jokingly, he has said in recent weeks that he is not joking about pursuing a third term. If the president decides to run for another term, he may propose legal routes never before tested in U.S. history.

Any attempt to amend the Constitution to allow Trump to run for a third term is unlikely to succeed, as it would require significant support from Democrats.



Article continues:

 
I suspect the only reason Trump supporters want him to run for a third term is because they think we need to make up for the four years he was out of office.
 
.

To get to a third Trump term we’ll have to first survive his second.

Any odds on that?

I thought to myself whether I should keep his On the Record updated just for reference, but then I thought after reading the OP article I'm not going to anymore. If they didn't learn from his first term, and then not the second, it's more than probable that that's exactly what they want.
 
If my reading of the Constitution is correct, Trump is actually eligible for a third and fourth term, because of the general welfare clause

Not a chance of that happening. But Trump really might try to run Don Jr.
