Trump Suggests 'No More Elections' Scenario Amid Potential 2028 U.S. War

President Donald Trump is once again alluding to the possibility of exploiting a loophole to secure a third presidential term. At a recent White House summit on August 18, Trump participated in a joint press conference alongside various European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who expressed concerns regarding the safety of elections amid Russia's aggression, according to PEOPLE.Taking advantage of this moment, Trump suggested he might postpone the 2028 presidential election if the U.S. found itself “in a war” at that time, playfully stating, “So, let me just say, three and a half years from now… if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, that’s good.” This remark aligns with his consistent musings about a potential third term as he promotes “Trump 2028” merchandise and hints at “loopholes.” Despite these comments, the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution prohibits him from serving beyond two terms. During the same press conference, Trump reiterated his unfounded claims of voter fraud, criticizing mail-in ballots and voting machines. He advocated for “watermark paper” for more reliable elections, declaring his intent to lead a movement against mail-in ballots and expensive voting machines.
