White House downplays Trump not ruling out possibly seeking a 3rd term
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also downplayed President Donald Trump not ruling out the possibility of running for a third term after he told NBC News on Sunday that he was "not joking" about it.
Asked about what methods the president was looking at to possibly run for a third time, Leavitt dismissed the question.
"The president talked about this last night on the plane. He said it's not really something we're thinking about. He has four years. There's a lot of work to do," she said.

Trump told NBC News on Sunday morning "there are methods which you could do it" regarding possibly seeking a third term. Later Sunday night, Trump avoided several questions about his comments as he spoke with reporters on Air Force One.
"I don't even want to talk about it, I'm just telling you I have had more people say, please run again," Trump said. "I said we have a long way to go before we even think about that."
