In Fourth of July speech, Trump jokes about a third term, then walks it back

In a Fourth of July speech commemorating the United States' 250th Independence Day, former President Donald Trump made a lighthearted comment about a potential third term, suggesting his current presidency could be considered his 'third term.' The remark was framed as a humorous aside, though it subtly referenced Trump's ongoing claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. He criticized former President Joe Biden by implying that his current term should be labeled as a third term rather than a second. Trump also emphasized military achievements under his leadership, citing successes against Venezuela and Iran. His comments were met with approval from the audience, reflecting continued support for his policies and rhetoric.
