Barely one week after his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of contesting for a third term. Trump said he has raised the finances to run for a third term as US President.The US Constitution does not permit anyone to be elected President more than twice.Speaking with House Republicans at a gathering on Monday, Trump said: “I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100 percent sure.“I think I’m not allowed to run again. Am I allowed to run again?”Questioning the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, Trump asked, “Mike, I better not get you involved in that.” Johnson, a former constitutional lawyer, chuckled at Trump’s comments.Other lawmakers at the event also had a good laugh.Trump previously dismissed insinuations that he would seek a third term.However, after winning the 2024 presidential election, he lightheartedly hinted that he would be open to a third term during a chat with Republican lawmakers. “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something,” Trump had said.“Unless you say, ‘he’s so good’, we have to just figure it out.”Last week, Andy Ogles, a Republican House member, introduced a bill seeking to allow Trump to run for a third term.Ogles said Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history” capable of “restoring America to greatness”.As 2011 drew to a close, his biggest boat yet – the 162-metre (533ft) Eclipse – lay moored in the glittering waters of St Barts, the picturesque Caribbean island where billionaires like to gather to see in the new year.Then the largest pleasure cruiser in the world, insured for €390m (£330m), the ship was all set to welcome guests for Abramovich’s own VIP celebration.Perhaps arriving via one of the yacht’s two helipads, they could cool their toes in the onboard swimming pools, unwind in the whirlpool, or take in a film in the private cinema before heading to the disco lounge
