President Donald Trump seems to have finally given up on his pipe dream of serving an illegal third term as president.

The 80-year-old president has repeatedly suggested he would run again in 2028 — even though the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution places a clear limit on the number of terms one can serve as president. However, when asked by a reporter Tuesday night at Joint Base Andrews if he was “serious” about seeking a third term, Trump seemed to waver.

“Everybody asks me that question,” he began. “And you know that the law is very strong on that. I’d love to run, but the law is very strong.”

Trump continued: “I get asked by everyone. Even tonight, they’re screaming at the event, ‘2028!’ No, everybody wants me to do it, but the law is very strong.”

The reporter tried to press the president, asking, “Is that a no?” but Trump had already moved on to the next question.

The president was at Joint Base Andrews Tuesday night after he returned from attending a Patriots Game in Ohio.

Trump has repeatedly flirted with the idea of running for a third term, all while ignoring the fact that the Constitution does not allow it.

In July, during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Trump told reporters he “won three times” and was “gonna do it again,” before putting a red “Trump 2028” baseball hat on his head.

“I’m pleased to announce my intention to, and this is somewhat of a scoop, my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States,” Trump said during his remarks at the dinner.

“I will be doing that; I will be making it official. I won three times; now I’m gonna do it again,” he added.

Trump has floated the idea countless times, including during his State of the Union address earlier this year.

“First year of the second term…it should be my third term,” he said, insinuating without evidence that the 2020 election, which he lost to former President Joe Biden, was “stolen” from him.
