Donald Trump Trolls ‘Fake News’ With Plans For Third—and Fourth—Term at Vegas Rally

Like so many high rollers before him, President Donald Trump appeared to be pushing his luck in Las Vegas on Saturday night, in a speech he made at a rally.

According to Mediaite, the newly elected Trump teased the crowd by alluding to serving more than two terms as president: “It will be the greatest honor of my life to serve. Not once, but twice—or three times or four times,” Trump said, before clarifying he has—at least for now—no real plans to extend his time in the Oval Office.

“Headlines for the fake news,” he explained of his free-wheeling quip, adding that the real-deal “honor” is “to serve twice.”

“For the next four years, I will not rest… I will not yield. And together, we will not fail. We will win, win, win. We will bring back the American dream,” he told a cheering crowd. “We’re going to bring it back. You know, in recent years, our nation has suffered greatly. But we are going to make it great again, greater than ever before.”

Trump’s comment comes on the heels of Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles bringing forth a House Joint Resolution in the hopes of allowing a president—but really a specific president, in Trump—to serve more than the maximum two terms the Constitution’s 22nd amendment currently allows.

“He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,” a press release on Ogles’ website reads in regard to Trump.

The proposed amendment, however, was swiftly (and predictably) met with backlash from both Democrats and conservative voices.

“Constitutional amendments are for enduring principles and process. Not for a singular moment or because you want attention from the current leader,” Trump’s former attorney Jenna Ellis wrote on X.
