President Trump joked at a campaign rally on Monday that he could serve as many as five terms in the White House.
“Now we’re going to have a second time,” Trump said in Montoursville, Pa., recounting the details of his surprise election victory in 2016.

“We’re going to have another one, and it’s going to be great,” the president clarified as the crowd cheered him on.
It’s not the first time Trump has joked that his popularity is so strong he may have to exceed his constitutional term limits. Earlier this month, he retweeted a post from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. that said Trump’s first term should be extended by two years as payback “for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.”
The mention of a “coup” was a reference to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The retweet came days after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she is worried Trump may not accept the results of the 2020 election if Democrats do not beat him by a wide margin.
