But Trump rejected the possibility of running for vice-president in 2028 - an idea floated by some supporters as a way for him to circumvent the US constitution that bars the president from running for a third term. Speaking to reporters during his trip to Asia, Trump described the idea as "too cute" and said it "wouldn't be right". It is unclear what method he would use to run again. Last week, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said that a "plan" was in place to secure the 79-year-old president another term. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to Japan from Malaysia, Trump said that while he would "be allowed" to run again as vice-president, he had no plans to do so. "I think people wouldn't like that," he said. "It's too cute. It wouldn't be right."  Talking about the possibility of a third term, Trump said: "I haven't really thought about it. But I have the best poll numbers that I've ever had."Additionally, Trump also suggested vice-president JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors, calling them "unstoppable". "All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don't," he added, referrring to Democrats. Repealing the amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures - a process viewed as highly unlikely.
