A historic photo on the sidelines of the historic summit. After the discussions between Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky and the European delegation, this Monday, a photo published on X by an adviser by the American president, Margo Martin, shows the billionaire holding a cap “four more years” before the Ukrainian and French leaders.
A slogan that suggests the possibility for Donald Trump to stand for standing in the next elections in 2028. However, the American Constitution prohibits him. The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution stresses that “no one can be elected to the presidency more than twice”.
Despite this clear text, the occupant of the White House has not hesitated, since his re -election in 2024, to make doubt about it. Represent yourself in 2028? “Probably not” he replied, on the American channel CNBC on August 5, while specifying “I would like to introduce myself. I have never had such good results in the polls ”.
“Everyone wants me to introduce myself”
“I have 28 points ahead of all the others. Everyone wants me to introduce myself, “he also said with a smile in front of his caps, on August 8, to President Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev who came to the White House, to sign a peace agreement with Armenia.
This Monday, during the meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, the American president also stressed with interest that the Ukrainian president had postponed the elections of his country because of the war with Russia. “Let’s see: in three and a half years, you mean that if we (the United States) go to war with someone, there will be no more elections,” he said before adding “I wonder what false information would say about it”.
For the moment, the American president maintains that the current vice-president JD Vance is “most likely” his successor as a republican candidate for the 2028 elections.
As a reminder if Donald Trump wishes to run for a third term, there would be a revision of the Constitution, the adoption of two thirds of the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as three quarters of the legislative assemblies of the States.
