Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.

Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.

“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.

      Much of the problems we’re facing with rampant executive overreach, supreme courts packed with the worst people, and vulnerabilities in our rights being exploited have been direct products of Obama’s inaction and compromise with Republicans.

      He was a great “leader” in that he kept the country and world seemingly stable, but he wasn’t the great president most people think. I would still take 30 Obamas over a half of a single Trump, but we wanna be very careful about idolatry in our political leaders.

      I don’t think he’ll run as much as he’ll just still be there when he’s not supposed to be and no one in government will do anything about it.

      Or rather Michelle Obama running for her first term. She is ridiculously popular in polls amongst both democrats and independents. The only downside about her is the fact that she doesn’t want the job, which really just makes her perfect for the job (:
