Donald Trump has once more alluded at his intentions of running for president again.

President Trump is currently serving his second term in office, having been sworn in again last month at the White House.

The businessman-turned-politician first served as president from 2017 to 2021 and, while he wanted to serve another term, he lost the election to Joe Biden.

Now Trump’s back once more and, while there’s legislation that states a person cannot be president for more than two terms, the 78-year-old keeps teasing that he may run again.

Yesterday (February 20), the POTUS hosted a Black History Month event at the White House where he boasted that his party received ‘more votes from Black Americans than any Republican president ever’.

Trump continued to say: “I won’t be happy the next time. Should I run again? You tell me.”

“There’s your controversy right there,” he added as people started to chant ‘four more years’ at him.

It’s thought that Trump’s sentiments mark the fourth time in a month that he’s hinted at running for president again, despite the 22nd Amendment outlining that this isn’t possible.

As per the National Constitution Center, the 22nd Amendment states: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”

But there are potential ways Trump could run again.

Firstly, US Representative Andy Ogles has shared a proposal that would change the wording of the legislation.

“This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs,” Ogles has said.

Instead, he has suggested that the amendment reads: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

While this terminology would allow Trump to run again, it would prevent the likes of Barack Obama from doing so as the ex POTUS served two terms in a row.

Donald Trump has done what presidents of the United States have actively declined to challenge in the past – and it could greatly expand his power, experts say.

Trump’s second term in office has already been marked with a flurry of executive orders being signed, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, tax tariffs on Canada and China, and one targeting transgender women in sports.

Earlier this month, the father-of-five also signed orders to end Covid-19 vaccine mandates in schools, eliminating the procurement of paper straws and creating a new White House Faith Office to replace the ‘White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives’.

On Tuesday (February 18), President Trump, 78, signed his latest executive order to bring notoriously independent agencies under the White House’s control.

How the executive order would affect independent agencies

This now means all agencies – such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – must submit draft regulations for the president to review instead of just giving them the green light themselves.

They must also consult with politicians on their ‘priorities and strategic plans’.

It’s also stipulated that there will be ‘no carve-out’ for the former independent agencies. The only exemption to this rule is the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy functions.

The order states that all executive branch officials and employees are now subject to Trump’s supervision and that the Office of Management and Budget will ensure tax dollars are being ‘spent wisely’.

“The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations,” the order continues.

The FTC, the SEC, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are the three former independent agencies named in the document.

Trump claims they have all previously ‘exercised enormous power over the American people without Presidential oversight’.

The executive order alleges that this trio have issued rules and regulations that cost the country billions of dollars in the past and that they will ‘no longer impose rules on the American people without oversight or accountability’.

According to the writ, executive power has ‘no place’ in the United States.

“Executive power without responsibility has no place in our Republic. The United States was founded on the principle that the government should be accountable to the people,” the order reads.

“That is why the Founders created a single President who is alone vested with ‘the executive Power’ and responsibility to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’.”

According to Politico, it will now be up to Russell Vought – acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – to ‘establish performance standards and management objectives’ for the heads of the independent agencies’.

It’s said that he will ‘report periodically to the president’ on the agencies’ performance and efficiency while making ‘necessary and appropriate’ changes to the agencies’ budgets.

This will all be completed in line with the advancement of the President’s ‘policies and priorities’.

How the executive order could make Trump one of the most powerful presidents in history

By ‘reigning in’ and intruding on the independent agencies, Trump has greatly expanded his power as the 47th President of the United States, says Politico.

He is also breaking the mould, as former leaders like Barack Obama have not only declined to challenge the independent nature of the FTC, the SEC and the FCC in the past but have actively tried to avoid the appearance of interference.

The publication claims that some leaders of the independent agencies – who will now have to report to Trump – have lasted longer in office than actual presidents.

This is reportedly in an effort to ‘help shield them from political pressure’.

President Donald Trump’s dream of buying Greenland has been given a boost after legislation has been drawn up and brought to Congress.

The Trump administration’s expansionist agenda has been on full display since the Republicans reclaimed the Oval Office less than month ago (January 20).

The 78-year-old has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico the ‘Gulf of America’, revealed plans to reclaim the Panama Canal, urged Canada to be the 51st state of America, and has shown intent to ‘take over’ Gaza displacing all Palestinians.

We’re already aware of his aspiration to purchase Greenland, even having a fiery phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen – which reportedly sent officials into crisis mode.

Of course, Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom since it was colonized back in the 18th century – and was seen as only a colony until 1953 when it was redefined as a district of Denmark.

So, what’s the latest update then?

Well, it has come through Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, a representative of Georgia, who introduced legislation last week to allow Trump to speak with Greenland and Denmark about the possibility of acquiring the autonomous country.

Carter released the following statement: “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland.”

Yes, Trump plans on renaming Greenland ‘Red, White and Blueland’… I’m not sure how its natives would feel about the name change.

He continued: “President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

The bill introduced by Carter has been referred to the committee.

“To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as ‘Red, White, and Blueland,'” it read.

Trump has previously stated that those who call the world’s largest island home, its 57,000 residents, wish to be part of the US.

Speaking to reporters last month, he doubled down with some blunt remarks: “I think we’re going to have it.

“I think the people want to be with us.

“I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world.”

He continued: “I think Greenland we’ll get because it has to do with freedom of the world.

“It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we’re the one that can provide the freedom. They can’t.”

POTUS Donald Trump and his ‘first buddy’ Elon Musk have shut down rumors that their friendship could be breaking down.

The President and the billionaire tech mogul grew closer over Trump’s campaign trial in 2024, ultimately bagging Musk a spot as a special government employee in the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Now, the 78-year-old Republican has put rumors to bed that the pair have fallen out.

In a sneak peek interview between the pair with Sean Hannity on Fox News that is yet to air, the reporter said the ‘media’ ran a ‘weaponization’ campaign against the POTUS but that Trump’s re-election ‘prove[s] that they have no power anymore’.

The journalist name dropped the New York Times and The Washington Post as well as cable news for ‘throwing everything’ at Trump during the campaign.

“Now I see they want you two to start – they want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other,” Hannity continued. “President Elon Musk, for example.”

Trump replied: “Oh I see it all the time.”

“[The media] have many different things of hatred. Actually, Elon called me, he said: ‘You know they are trying to drive us apart?’ I said: ‘Absolutely’.”

Trump joked about the ‘President Musk’ jibes and his friend calling a cabinet meeting, to which Musk laughed.

“I said it is just so obvious,” the president continued. “They are so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it but they are actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president.”

Trump went on to say he believes no other president ‘in history’ has got ‘more bad publicity than me’.

“I could do the greatest things – I get 98 percent bad publicity,” he said before praising Hannity and his colleagues at Fox News, which is currently investigating alleged media bias from other networks.

Trump also said that the people ‘get it’ and can see ‘what is happening’ while the Tesla CEO agreed.

The bombshell interview comes after a Reuters piece reported on an alleged conflict between Musk’s DOGE and Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles.

Trump and Musk haven’t always had a rosy relationship either, from public disagreements to insulting words being exchanged on both sides.

In 2016, Musk said that his future buddy was ‘not the right guy’ to take over the White House.

A year later, he resigned from presidential advisory boards and slammed the POTUS for leaving the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Fast forward five years, their friendship was seemingly back on track after Trump described the SpaceX CEO as one of the world’s ‘greatest geniuses’. But he then backtracked six months later, referring to the South African as a ‘bulls*** artist’ when Musk revealed his intentions to buy Twitter.

Musk snapped back: “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”

Despite the spat, Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account and, by the end of 2023, appeared sympathetic to some of his policies – namely the US border wall with Mexico – before donating $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump Super PAC in the summer of 2024.
