A third term for Donald Trump: Republican senator gives President the benefit of the doubt despite constitutional hurdles.
Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama has become known for his unwavering support of President Donald Trump, and on Tuesday, he further underscored this stance when discussing the possibility of a third term for the president. In an interview with CNN, Tuberville refused to rule out the idea, saying that while the Constitution may say it's not possible, "if you read it" - a nod to Trump's penchant for using constitutional loopholes.
Tuberville's comments came as some Trump allies have floated the possibility of a 2028 presidential bid, despite the fact that running again after two terms is unconstitutional. However, when asked if he thinks this would be possible, Tuberville said it was "very unlikely". But rather than dismissing the idea outright, he chose to emphasize the importance of not ruling out possibilities without considering all available information.
The senator's approach has drawn criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who bluntly stated that there is no way for Trump to get around the term limits in the Constitution. According to Johnson, Trump knows this, and his behavior often comes across as a form of trolling Democrats who are concerned about his actions.
Tuberville's comments also come on the heels of President Trump ramping up attacks on the Constitution, including halting funds distribution and deploying National Guard troops in cities. This has led to nationwide protests, with many Americans pushing back against what they see as an overreach by the executive branch.
Ultimately, Tuberville's stance suggests that he is willing to consider unconventional scenarios, but also acknowledges that the possibility of a third Trump term is a long shot. As such, it seems likely that we won't be seeing "Trump 2028" anytime soon - at least not without a significant shift in public opinion or a rewriting of the Constitution itself.

We'd have to start calling him "Older-Man-in-Chief" 
. But seriously, I don't think anyone's really thinking about this, because let's be real, we're all still trying to figure out how he managed to get re-elected the first two times 
. Tuberville's just playing it cool, but I'm sure Trump would love him for being on board with a constitutional gray area 
. On a more serious note, though, this whole thing is kinda weird because... isn't term limits in the Constitution like super clear? 
Guess you could say Trump's got some 'splainin' to do! 
and I'm like, really surprised Senator Tuberville would even bring it up 
. I get that he's got loyalty issues 
with President Trump, but does this mean he's not taking the Constitution seriously at all? 
It's crazy to think about what could happen if we did get a third term for Trump, especially considering how divided America is already 
. I think Tuberville should be more careful about his words and make sure they're not fueling the fires of controversy 
. But hey, politics can be unpredictable 
, so only time will tell what'll happen next 
.
. If Tuberville's being honest, a third term is still super unlikely, but he's leaving the door open for it to happen. I mean, if Trump wants to run again, shouldn't we be having that convo? But at the same time, can you blame him for wanting to keep the possibilities open? 
And what's with Trump trashing the Constitution lately? It seems like he's trying to stir up controversy just for drama. 
. And let's be real, if a third term is even remotely possible, there'll be civil war or something 
. It's like he thinks we all forgot what the Founding Fathers were all about 
. I think Tuberville's right to keep an open mind, but at some point we gotta stop speculating about what's gonna happen next 
. Can we just focus on gettin' through this term already? 
. The fact remains that the 22nd Amendment clearly states that no person can be elected to more than two four-year terms as President. In my opinion, Tuberville is playing with fire by refusing to dismiss the idea outright, even if it's highly unlikely 
. Trump's actions have already shown a disregard for the Constitution and an attempt to bypass its checks and balances 
. Until there's a significant shift in public opinion or a constitutional amendment, I think we can confidently say that a third term is off the table
