US President Donald Trump has suggested that he has the right to take another presidential term because he believes he was cheated in the 2020 election.

Quote: "Should we do one more one more term? Well, we're entitled to it, because they cheated like hell in the second – we would actually be entitled to it."

Details: CNN noted that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, when Joe Biden was elected US president.

Regarding the third term, Trump made a statement during a rambling speech at the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas. CNN noted that the US leader was wearing a baseball cap with the words "American Gulf" and walked onto stage to his signature campaign song: God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood.

Trump also summarised his State of the Union speech. In addition, he shared a strange story about his friend who said his marriage had improved thanks to the Trump administration's policies because his 401(k) account [employer-sponsored retirement savings plan in the US that allows employees to set aside part of their wages – ed.] had grown.

Background:

  • In October last year, Trump ruled out seeking a third term as president.
  • In November, answering journalists' questions about the possibility of running for a third presidential term in 2028, he said the Republican Party has a "strong bench", unlike the Democrats.
