If President Trump tries to run for a third term against constitutional constraints, other previous presidents may also be able to do so, according to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In a recent interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump denied reports that he plans to seek a third term in office, even though he and other associates have suggested the notion.
Former first lady and president Bill Clinton’s wife Hillary Clinton recently discussed her new book in a long conversation that was broadcast live from New York’s 92nd Street Y. The 2016 Democratic contender was asked by interviewer Margaret Hoover about rumors that Trump may seek a third term in office at the end of the interview.
Pay attention to Trump’s words. Everything is telegraphed by him. She made the comment in the interview about how he frequently criticizes others for their actions or future plans.
A buddy of Clinton’s mentioned the need for psychologists and psychiatrists in order to make sense of all that’s happening.
“When he says, ‘You know, there are people who think that it could happen,’ what he’s saying is he has people right now in these right-wing think tanks trying to figure out how to make it happen,” stated the president. “And he also has very militant supporters who believe that it should happen, so if it can’t happen legally that is not an obstacle.”
You need to give this a lot of thought, in my opinion. A possible solution may be for Barack and Bill to also run—” Clinton stated, prompting applause from the crowd. “Alright, see, you get to decide! For a third term, who would you choose, folks? We will violate the Constitution and provide people a choice if this is the direction we’re going.
“I mean, this is so nuts, I feel embarrassed talking about it, but I think you have to face up to it,” added the president. “They are going to try to do that.”
