The president has suggested on multiple occasions that he could serve a third term in defiance of the U.S. Constitution since he returned to office less than a year and a half ago.

“When I get out of office in, let’s say, eight or nine years from now, I’ll be able to use it, I’ll be able to use it myself,” Trump said during his remarks about tax deductions. If Trump were to stay in office another nine years, he would be 88 when finally leaving office.

As he took his latest dig at the Constitution, his supporters in the room laughed and cheered.

It’s you have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a—what’s another good?— a squirrel, okay. ‘Which is the squirrel?’”
