Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera said Tuesday that he believes his former “hang-out buddy” Donald Trump will try for an unprecedented third presidential term by seeking to alter the 22nd Amendment during his upcoming stint in the White House. “For future reference: President Trump & Co. will soon start chattering about revoking/amending the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two four year terms,” Rivera wrote on X this week. “He just needs 38 of 50 state governments to agree to convene. (3/4ths) Trump won 30 in 2024. Trump in 2028?” Ratified in 1951, the 22nd Amendment says that no person elected into office can be president more than twice. It can be amended if two-thirds of the states—38 in total—petition for a convention. Trump notably won 30 of the 50 states in last month’s election. Rivera isn’t the first to suggest that Trump seek a third term—former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon also floated the idea during a New York Young Republican Club Gala on Sunday, telling the crowd: “I don’t know, maybe we do it again in ’28 ... Are you guys up for that? Trump ’28, come on, man!”
