Trump: “We may have to go for an extra term."

How is this thread still going?

He's having fun and fishing for validation from the crowd.

There is zero kelvin chance of him having a 3rd term.   The 22nd Amendment is absolutely clear on this; there's no wiggle room to find an alternate interpretation that would allow him to do it. And there's no mechanism he could do it extralegally.

The Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses are absolutely clear too, but that hasn't stopped Trump from ignoring them, or motivated his party to impeach him for doing so.

A government that has repeatedly ignored Congressional subpoenas should not be expected to have any difficulty convincing itself that the 22nd Amendment doesn't apply for some reason. ("It's a national emergency. The 25th Amendment supersedes the 22nd. Congress can always impeach him if they think its unconstitutional. He's under audit so it doesn't apply.")

The precise definition of "emoluments" in the 21st century is not in the same league with an amendment specifically written to prevent the scenario of a 3rd term.  There is no Court in the country that would say a president is allowed to run for a full third term.  There is no question of impeachment necessary since he would not legally be allowed to swear in in the first place if somehow enough states allowed him to remain on the ballot and enough people voted for him in those states.
