Trump Aide Called Out For Refusing To Say Trump Will ‘Abide By The Constitution’ And Not Seek 3rd Term

Fox News host Howie Kurtz called out Trump senior adviser Jason Miller for refusing to say President Donald Trump will “abide by the Constitution” and not seek a third term, quipping “Nice pivot there.”

Trump has been floating the idea of blowing off term limits for years, and one Republican has already introduced an amendment to allow it. Just recently, Politico ran an item listing four ways Trump could try to hold on to power after 2028 — and Trump teased the idea again at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month.

On this week’s edition of Fox News Channel’s MediaBuzz, Kurtz challenged Miller repeatedly on a number of issues, and concluded the interview by asking about Trump’s extra-constitutional (perhaps) trolling:

HOWIE KURTZ: So with the president teasing crowds about whether he’d run for a third term, saying, all this will make news. Barred by the Constitution, by the way. Is he just trolling the press?

JASON MILLER: Of course he’s going to go push the press’s buttons, but what is actually the case is that he’s changed American politics as we’ve known it, I think forever going forward. And people are looking for a different level of accountability, a different level of moving fast, getting things done. I think President Trump is setting up for he’s calling it the Golden Age of America. Four great years. We’ve already seen a pretty big literally before. Well, that’s what the Constitution says, all right.

HOWIE KURTZ: But he’s going to abide by the Constitution.

JASON MILLER: But we’re going to have a fabulous four years. And I think his impact is going to keep going in perpetuity. And you know, Howie, because of President Trump, you’re paying less taxes. Everybody’s paying less taxes. The economy is going to be back on track. This neighborhood where we are here in D.C. is going to be safer, where you stop the killing in Ukraine. And guess what? The border is now secure.

HOWIE KURTZ: Nice pivot there, Jason. Jason Miller, always a pleasure to have you. Thank you so much.
