Hillary Clinton recently said that former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama may try to run for a third term if President Donald Trump does so.

This, according to Fox News, was said by Clinton during a recent interview that she did on NBC's Meet the Press. 

Take a look at this:

"Barack and Bill to run"

Clinton is well-known for fearmongering about Trump, and it appears as though this is what she was up to here.

She said:

Listen to what Trump says. He telegraphs everything. And often when he's criticizing something he's criticizing them for what he's already done or intends to do . . . When he says, ‘You know, there are people who think that it could happen,’ what he's saying is he has people right now in these right-wing think tanks trying to figure out how to make it happen, and he also has very militant supporters who believe that it should happen, so if it can't happen legally that is not an obstacle.'

As you can see, Clinton also took some shots at Trump's supporters along the way.

It was at this point that she suggested that Obama and Clinton could seek a third term if Trump does.

She said:

I think you have to take all of it seriously. The best response might be for, you know, Barack and Bill to run too- I mean, OK, take your choice! Who do you want for a third term, people? If this is where we're heading, we're going to break the Constitution, give people a choice! I mean, this is so nuts, I feel embarrassed talking about it, but I think you have to face up to it. They are going to try to do that.

Background

Earlier on during the Trump administration, there was some hype being built up about a possible third term for Trump.

It ought to be noted that, for the most part, it was not Trump that was creating this hype. That's not to say, though, that he did not go along with it.

This went on for several weeks before Trump decided to settle the matter.

During an interview, he said, "I'm not looking at that," in reference to a third term. He also noted that "to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do it."

This, of course, will not stop the likes of Clinton from using this to motivate the Democrat base.
