Explaining why he wants to seek a third term, Trump said, “I have to start by saying that I have the highest poll of any Republican for the past 100 years.”
“We see it in the ’70s with a lot of polls, in real polls, and then, and you know, we’re very popular,” Trump said.
When asked about how he will be elected for the third term, Trump told NBC News there might be a way to do so.
NBC’s Kristen Welker provided him with a hypothetical situation.
In response, Trump said, “Well, it’s one. But there are others. There are others.”
“Can you tell me something else?” Welker asked Trump. “No,” he said.
Also in an interview, Trump was asked why he wanted to continue being president. Welker explained that it was “the toughest job in the country.”
“Well, I like to work,” Trump replied.
