Trump Says It’s ‘Too Bad’ That He Can’t Seek a Third Term in Office, Touting His ‘Highest Poll Numbers’ Ever

You know, the sad thing is I have my highest numbers that I’ve ever had. As I should. I ended eight wars and we have the greatest economy in history. And by the way, energy prices are way down. Everything’s way down. Beef is a little bit high. We’re going to get beef down too. But prices are down and the economy is up. The only thing that’s not down is the stock prices. And 401(k)s are through the roof. Everyone’s 401(k) is hitting records. So we have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had. And you know, based on what I read, I guess I’m not allowed to run. So we’ll see what happens.”
reporter: “Johnson says you’re trolling when you talk about a third term.”
Trump: “I don’t think he said that. I don’t think he’d use that term. But it’s a very interesting thing. I have the best numbers of any president in many years. Any president. And I would say that if you read it, it’s pretty clear, I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad. But we have a lot of great people.”
