Former President Donald Trump is publicly floating a presidency that extends beyond the Constitution’s two-term limit. His allies in Congress say it’s just a big joke.

“He understands the Constitution. He loves it because he knows the Democrats are going to go crazy,” said Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern. “He loves messing with them, and they’re so easy to get riled up, so there’s no way he thinks he’s going to have a third term.”

“I think they have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker,” said Rep. Andrew Clyde. “He’s playing with them and it’s hilarious.”
