President Trump wonders if American would "demand" that he remains president after two terms.
President Trump on Sunday wondered if "the people would demand" that his presidency be extended beyond two terms.
Trump made the remark while slamming the New York Times and Washington Post over recent news coverage.
"The good news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
The president has joked about remaining in office past the two-term limit mark on more than one occasion.
For instance, after Chinese President Xi Jinping got rid of term limits, Trump reportedly said: "He's now president for life. President for life….And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."
