**Reporter:** The Trump Organization is selling hats that say "Trump 2028." Are you seriously considering a third term, Mr. President, even though it's prohibited by the Constitution? Or is this about staying politically viable?
**Donald Trump:** I will say this, so many people want me to do it. I have never had requests so strong as that. But it's something that, to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do. I don't know if that's constitutional, that they're not allowing you to do it or anything else. But there are many people selling the 2028 hat, but this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward. But I think we're going to have four years and I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular.
**Reporter:** The Constitution does prohibit it. Some of your allies are pretty serious about this though, Mr. President. I've spoken to them; they say they are coming up with potential ways. Obviously, the biggest one would be a Constitutional amendment.
**Donald Trump:** That's because they like the job I'm doing, and it's a compliment.
**Reporter:** Has anyone in an official capacity presented you with, sir, here are some ideas by which you could actually get a Constitutional amendment?
**Donald Trump:** Well, in the capacity of being a big supporter, many people have said different things. But I'm not looking at that.
**Reporter:** You have built a political movement that has transformed the Republican Party. It's transformed the country, quite frankly.
**Donald Trump:** The greatest political movement in history: MAGA. Make America Great Again.
**Reporter:** When you look to the future, Mr. President, do you think the MAGA movement can survive without you as its leader?
**Donald Trump:** Yes, I do. I think it's so strong, and I think we have tremendous people. I think we have a tremendous group of people. We talked about a number of them. You look at Marco, you look at JD Vance, who's fantastic. I could name 10, 15, 20 people right now just sitting here. No, I think we have a tremendous party. And you know what, I can't name— I can't name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats; they're in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person, and they said she's the future of the party. I said, you have to be kidding. I don't know what they're going to do. And I really believe in a two-party system. Because it's good to be challenged; it's really good to have a two-party. You know, it's good. Being challenged is okay. It keeps you sharp. I don't know what they're going to do. They have nobody. Bernie's 87 years old or something, and you know, Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people because he was grossly incompetent. And I think maybe for artificial reasons. You know, he had operations and things, so maybe that's an artificial. But I know people that are unbelievably sharp and they're older than 87. But I watch Bernie Sanders; he's a nut job, but he's still sharp. He's as sharp as he— he's the same guy he was. He hasn't gone down. But Biden is really— he's the worst thing to happen to old people.
**Reporter:** I know that you are only 100 days in, but as we sit here today, who do you see as your successor, Mr. President?
**Donald Trump:** Well, it's far too early to say that. But you know, I do have a Vice President, and typically, JD's doing a fantastic job. He would be at the top of the list. It could very well be him. I don't want to get involved in that. I think he's a fantastic, brilliant guy. Marco is great. There's a lot of them that are great. I also see tremendous unity. But certainly, you would say that somebody's the VP, if that person is outstanding, I guess that person would have an advantage. But I think the other people would all stay in unbelievably high positions. But you know, it could be that he'd be challenged by somebody. We have a lot of good people in this party.
