Trump 2028?

Available at Trump Store

Trump knows he can't run again even if he had the interest. The Guardian:

Donald Trump said “it’s too bad” he is not allowed to run for a third term, conceding the constitutional reality even as he expressed interest in continuing to serve.

“If you read it, it’s pretty clear,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One from Japan to South Korea on Wednesday. “I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.”

The president’s comments, which continue his on-again, off-again musings about a third term, came a day after the House speaker, Mike Johnson, said it would be impossible for Trump to stay in the White House. “I don’t see a path for that,” the Republican told reporters at the US Capitol on Tuesday.

Johnson, who has built his career by drawing closer to Trump, said he discussed the issue with the president and thought he understood. “He and I have talked about the constrictions of the constitution,” he said.

The speaker described how the constitution’s 22nd amendment does not allow for a third presidential term, and changing that with a new amendment would be a cumbersome, years-long process of winning over both states and members of Congress.

Johnson dismissed worries about a potential third term as “hair on fire” by the president’s critics. “He has a good time with that, trolling the Democrats,” Johnson said.

I knew it, he's trolling the Democrats. It's a great troll!  

In all seriousness, I'd be OK with tweaking the 22nd Amendment. Get your two terms, sit out for four years and for another term or two later. Out of all of our former Presidents Obama is the youngest, it's perfect for him should he really want to run again.

Not that I want him to, just saying.

As for Trump while I wouldn't mind another term for him, rightfully we'd have to be concerned about the fact that in 2028 he would be well over 80 years old at this point. He's already surpassed the previous occupant and IMHO he definitely didn't seem up to it. He was nothing more than a figure head.
