Trump Muses About Staying In Power For More Than Two Terms

Former President Donald Trump mused during a speech before the National Rifle Association over the weekend about staying in office for three terms, despite the U.S. Constitution banning him from doing so.

During an odd moment from Trump’s lengthy speech, he praised President Franklin D. Roosevelt – who is often considered anathema to conservatives.“Never seen anything like it, very much reminiscent of the days of FDR,” Trump said of his own record, adding:

“You know, FDR was a beautiful, had a beautiful patrician voice, magnificent voice, great debater, very smart man. You know, FDR, 16 years, almost 16 years. He was four-term, I don’t know. Are we going to be considered three-term or two-term? You tell me, Ronnie, what do you think, are we three-term or two-term, if we win. But think of it. They’re going to say wonderful.”
