US President Donald Trump stated during the White House
Correspondents' Association dinner that he intends to run for a fourth
presidential term.
The statement was made Friday night during the traditional
gathering of journalists, officials, and political figures in Washington.
The possibility raised by Trump is generating debate because
the US Constitution limits a person to two terms as president, so a potential
candidacy for a fourth term would require overcoming significant constitutional
hurdles.
The statements have thrilled millions of Americans who
support him, asserting on social media that the country, almost entirely broken
in the hands of Democrats, is visibly being rescued by President Trump.
On the other hand, Democrats insist on paying attention to
the issue of presidential power limits and the political future of Trump, who
has already served two non-consecutive terms as president. For now, the
statement should be understood as a declaration of political intent and not as
an announcement of a constitutional candidacy, which only time will put in its
proper place.
