No, Donald Trump cannot run for a third term as U.S. president due to the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which explicitly limits presidents to being elected no more than twice. Trump has hinted and even joked about pursuing a third term and discussed potential "methods" to bypass this restriction, such as running as vice president and then assuming the presidency through succession. However, these ideas face serious constitutional challenges and would likely be struck down in court. Changing this rule would require a constitutional amendment, which needs broad political consensus and has not been realistically achievable so far. Despite marketing "Trump 2028" merchandise, Trump himself denied seriously considering a third term, acknowledging the constitutional limits.
