Reports Suggest Trump Plans Third Term Amid Supreme Court Influence

Several commentators and experts, including actor Robert De Niro and author Michael Wolff, express concerns that President Donald Trump may attempt to remain in power beyond the constitutionally mandated two terms. De Niro emphasized the necessity of protests against Trump, asserting that Trump is unlikely to leave the White House voluntarily. Wolff, who once dismissed the possibility of a third term, now sees it as a very real threat, citing Trump's authoritarian tendencies such as consolidating control over courts, media, and targeting political opponents, along with preparations to secure continued electoral success. Wolff also points to the Supreme Court's potential role in enabling Trump to defy constitutional limits, highlighting concerns about enforcement of court rulings and a pending decision that could affect Democratic prospects in upcoming elections. The White House has responded to Wolff's claims with a photo featuring "Trump 2028" hats, signaling they do not dismiss the idea lightly. Overall, these analyses suggest that Trump's efforts to maintain power pose unprecedented challenges to democratic norms and institutions in the United States.
