This is coming barely one week after his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, for a second term.
The Constitution of the United States does not permit anyone to be elected President more than twice but Trump said he has raised enough finances to run for a third term.
Andy Ogles, a Republican House member, had, last week, introduced a bill seeking to allow Trump to run for a third term.
According to the lawmaker, Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history” capable of “restoring America to greatness”.
However, while speaking with House Republicans at a gathering on Monday, Trump said: “I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100 percent sure.
“I think I’m not allowed to run again. Am I allowed to run again?”
Trump turned his attention to Mike Johnson, the House Speaker, and asked: “Mike, I better not get you involved in that.”
The speaker, who was a former constitutional lawyer, chuckled at Trump’s comments, as other lawmakers at the event also had a good laugh.
Trump had previously dismissed suggestions that he would seek a third term.

“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something; unless you say, ‘he’s so good’, we have to just figure it out,” Trump said.
