Donald Trump once again joked about extending his presidency beyond the constitutional confines of eight years, trying out a favorite bit on a new audience: FIFA President Gianni Infantino
said that the president should have his term extended because of the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference — a "corrupt failed coup," to use Falwell's language.
A month earlier, at an event sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project, Trump joked about remaining in office for even longer than that. "This will find a permanent place, at least for six years, in the Oval Office," he said about a trophy he received from the charity. "I was going to joke ... and say at least for 10 or 14 years, but we would cause bedlam if I said that, so we’ll say six.”"I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday," he said.
Trump's reference Monday was clearly facetious, even eliciting a laugh from Infantino. Still, it's noteworthy given that some Democrats — House Speaker among them — have expressed doubts about whether he'd respect the results of an election that ousted him from the White House.
