Jon Stewart Claims President Trump’s Ballroom Renovations Signal He’s Planning on Running For Third Term

Jon Stewart is making a pointed prediction about President Donald Trump.

On the Monday, October 27 episode of The Daily Show, the comedian, 62, showed a clip of Trump, 79, being asked by a reporter on Air Force One if he would run for president for a third term, which would be a violation of the United States Constitution. The billionaire responded, “I haven’t really thought about it.”

“He’s doing it!” said Stewart.

“‘I haven’t thought about it’ — that’s the tell for whenever he’s asked about something that he is definitely going to do that is dubious legally, ethically, or morally,” the late-night host, who was pretending to be excited, added.

“He says he hasn’t thought about it, but of course, we know he’s thought about it because he already has the merch,” Stewart quipped before an image of Trump sitting at his desk in the Oval Office with hats that read “Trump 2028” flashed on the screen.

Stewart also noted he thinks construction for the new White House Ballroom is a telltale sign that Trump wants to remain in office past his second term.

“Truth is, indications are very clear he’s going to do it because you don’t move into a house, knock down a wing and build a 90,000 square foot ballroom for the next guy — Trump’s not a house flipper, he’s not Ellen [DeGeneres] —  he’s in it for the long haul.”
