Donald Trump joked with rally-goers on Thursday evening that he had “the right to run again” for president, invoking a claim he has repeatedly made that he may seek a third term despite it being unconstitutional.

“I don’t know who is going to be your next president and I think the law said, I’m not 100% sure, but I think the law says I’m not allowed to run again,” Trump said in Sioux City, Iowa.
