Trump claims he has been offered $250M for run for unconstitutional third term in office

President Donald Trump claimed that Israeli-American mega-donor Miriam Adelson offered him $250 million to run for an unconstitutional third term in 2028 — an idea he's repeatedly teased.

Trump pointed to the billionaire, who was in the audience of the East Room at the White House Hanukkah reception on Tuesday.

"Miriam gave my campaign indirectly and directly $250 million, she was the number one," the Republican president said to a crowd of people in the East Room. "When somebody can give you $250 million, I think that we should give her the opportunity to say hello."

At that point, Adelson took the microphone and mentioned attorney Alan Dershowitz.

She claimed to have spoken with Dershowitz "about four more years," before adding: "I say Alan, I agree with you, so we can do it!"

The crowd in the room then began to chant "four more years" as Adelson whispered something in Trump's ear. "She said 'Think about it, I'll give you another $250 million,'" Trump announced to the audience. "I will give," Adelson quickly confirmed.

Trump vacillated in the past about running for a third term, although he has ruled himself out according to the 22nd Amendment. However, he continues to tease the idea.

He said in October that he would not pursue a third term. 'If you read it, it's pretty clear — I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad, but we have a lot of great people,' Trump said at the time.

Alan Dershowitz, who was present, was earlier in the week meeting with the president about his new book, which looks at the possibility of Trump serving in office past January 2029.

In a separate meeting in the Oval Office, Dershowitz handed a draft copy of his book to Trump, telling the president the Constitution is 'not clear,' on whether he can serve a third term.
