Donald Trump between third-term speculation and the prospect of retirement

US President Donald Trump has once again touched upon the prospect of running for a third term in 2028. Despite constitutional limitations on presidential terms in the United States, Trump continues to keep the topic alive by casting doubt on the established norms. However, reports suggest he is now contemplating alternative paths. According to the Times of Israel, Trump has mused in private about the possibility of retiring and simply watching television at home. He expressed concern that if he were to step back, his successor might take credit for the achievements of his administration. This contradiction in his rhetoric remains part of Trump's characteristic approach to managing the political and media landscape, simultaneously signaling both the possibility of a future run and the prospect of retirement.
