President Donald Trump is supposed to be prevented from running for president again because of term limits, but he and his supporters have repeatedly talked about ways to get around the limitations and remain in power after 2028.

Trump said Monday that he would not run as Vice President on a ticket with J.D. Vance as the presidential candidate, then have Vance resign so he could be president again, but he is still considering a "secret" plan concocted by advisor Steve Bannon to thwart the 22nd Amendment.

“I think the people wouldn’t like that. It’s too cute. It wouldn’t be right,” he told reporters on Air Force One about running as Vance's VP.

He briefly said that he thought a J.D. Vance/Marco Rubio ticket could be "unstoppable," but then went back to thinking about his own candidacy in 2028 and who his Democratic opponents would be.

"Great group of people"

“All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don’t. They have [Texas Rep.] Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have AOC who is low IQ. You give her an IQ test, have her pass the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed,” he claimed.

“Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump.”

Trump has vacillated several times since taking office about whether he would seek a third term or not.

In March, he told NBC that he was "not joking" about running again, but said to CNBC in August that he would "probably not" run again.

"Would love to do it"

“I would love to do it," he said on the way to Tokyo for meetings with Japanese leaders there, speaking about Bannon's plan. "I have my best numbers ever, it’s very terrible, I have my best numbers.”

In an interview with the Economist last week, Bannon spoke in vague terms about the plan, but sounded certain that it would work.

“He’s going to get a third term… at the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is," Bannon said. "But there’s a plan.”

The RealClearPolitics polling average has Trump's approval rating at 45%, which is not the highest it has ever been, but it has definitely been lower.

His disapproval rating of 51% puts him at a -6 net favorability rating, but that's nothing new for him.

With more than three years left in the current term, there's plenty of time for his ratings to change one way or the other. There's no telling where he will be by November of 2028.
