Overview

• President Donald Trump stated in an NBC interview that he is 'not joking' about the possibility of seeking a third term, though he emphasized it is still 'very early' in his administration.
• Ana Navarro, co-host of 'The View,' criticized the remarks as a deliberate distraction from 'Signalgate,' a controversy involving the Trump administration's alleged use of the Signal app to discuss sensitive military plans on Yemen.
• Navarro labeled Trump the 'distractor-in-chief,' accusing him of using provocative statements to divert attention from his administration's policies and controversies, including tariffs and immigration actions.
• Sunny Hostin highlighted the constitutional barriers to a third term, noting that changes to the 22nd Amendment would require ratification by three-fourths of U.S. states, making such a scenario highly unlikely.
• The comments have reignited discussions about Trump's media manipulation tactics, with critics asserting that his remarks are part of a broader strategy to dominate news cycles and deflect scrutiny.
