US President Donald Trump claims he has the right to run for president again, despite the fact that the Constitution of the United States forbids a third term.

During a rally in Siux City, in the state of Iowa, Trump reiterated claims that the Democrats stole his victory in the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden.

I don’t know who your next president will be, but I think the law says I can’t run again. I studied it during that formulation, Trump told his supporters.

However, he insisted that he must have the right to run again, claiming he won the three presidential elections in which he participated.

We’ve been deceived in the next election. We’ve won three times. I think I have the right to run again, because they deceived, declared the American president.

Trump won presidential elections in 2016 and 2024, while in 2020 he was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden. His claims for manipulation of the 2020 elections have not been backed by evidence and did not change the official outcome.

The American president has spoken earlier about the possibility of a third mandate, though he has acknowledged that the Constitution prohibits such a thing.

The 22nd amendment to the American Constitution stipulates that no person can be elected president more than twice. Trump served as president from 2017 to 2021 and returned to the White House in January 2025.

Under current constitutional provisions, he cannot be elected president for another mandate in 2028. To change this restriction, a difficult constitutional process would be needed, requiring the support of two-thirds of both Congress chambers and ratification by three-quarters of American states. /Telegraphy/
