President for LIFE? If Donald Trump wins in November, most Americans say he’ll extend his term beyond the January 2029 limit, a Daily Mail poll shows

Donald Trump often jokes about being president for longer than the terms allow.

Americans appear to be taking him at his word, according to a new poll from DailyMail.com/TIPP.

More than 55 percent say Trump will try to stay in power beyond the four-year term if he wins November’s presidential election.

About a third say Trump will not, and 10 percent say they are unsure what he will do in January 2029.

The national survey of more than 1,000 voters comes as Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden are locked in a tight race in the 2024 election.

Biden is passing Trump in the popular vote, polls show, but Republicans have the lead in swing states that determine who gets the keys to the White House.

Our investigation comes days before the start of Trump’s trial in New York for falsifying company records to cover up payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels — a wildcard who could sway the vote.

It shows that most Americans say a Trump victory in November could mean a longer stay in the Oval Office than the U.S. Constitution allows.

The 22nd Amendment, which took effect in 1951, limits presidents to two terms.

Trump, who served from 2017-2021, is limited to a potential second term from 2025-2029.

Whether he’s serious or not, the billionaire has openly questioned term limits.

Speaking to Republican donors in his South Florida office in 2018, he praised Chinese President Xi Jinping, who had recently consolidated power.

“He is now president for life,” Trump said to applause and laughter.

‘I love it. Maybe we’ll try that one day.’

The following month, Trump appeared to reference the four election victories of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served from 1933 to 1945.

Roosevelt served before the 22nd Amendment was enacted. He died shortly after the start of his fourth term.

During a meeting, Trump referred to a government of “16 years in one case.”

‘Should we go back to 16 years? Should we do that? Congressman, can we do that?’ he said, according to CNN.

Trump has suggested he would be willing to serve beyond the term if he received public support.

“Do you think people would demand that I stay longer?” he tweeted in 2019.

Another time, responding to claims about his “despotic tendencies,” Trump vowed he had “no intention” of overstaying his term.

“Unless you want to do it, that’s OK,” he added.

These jokes aside, Trump was – at the very least – trying to relax the rules for staying in power.

He has been charged with misdemeanor charges for working to overturn the results of the 2020 election ahead of the violent riot by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Trump repeatedly told his supporters that he had won the election, despite knowing it was untrue, and pressured officials and his deputy Mike Pence to overturn the legitimate results, prosecutors allege.

Voters appear to believe Trump could try something similar in 2029 if he wins in November.

This applies to more than half of voters of all age groups and in all parts of the country.

Women are more likely than men to say Trump would stay too long.

More than 77 percent of Democrats said Trump would try to remain president for more than eight years.

So did a sizable 31 percent of Republicans — though many of them may want a longer presidency for the real estate mogul.

The research has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percent. It was conducted earlier this month by TIPP, which is known for the accuracy of its polls.
