PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – And it would be perfectly legal. Trump said Sunday that “I’m not joking” about trying to serve a third term, the clearest indication he is considering ways to circumvent a constitutional barrier against running for a third term.
“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump said in a telephone interview from Mar-a-Lago. He elaborated later to reporters on Air Force One from Florida to Washington that “I have had more people ask me to have a third term.”
Still, Trump added: “I don’t want to talk about a third term now because no matter how you look at it, we’ve got a long time to go.”
BUT – HERE’S How Trump can legally serve a third term as POTUS.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of today’s other top defense stories ending the week from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.
Not the President’s Daily Brief, but almost as good – PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEFING – the PDB:
NATIONAL SECURITY
Former STRATCOM bosses: US must recommit to nuclear deterrent. Russia’s actions in Ukraine and China’s growing arsenal show that America needs to revamp and revitalize—not retrench—its nuclear arsenal.
HOMELAND SECURITY
The destroyer USS Spruance recently helped the Coast Guard and agents with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), take 13 people into custody as part of the warship’s new border security mission. (RELATED: Viral Illegal Immigrant Gets Epic Wake-Up Call)
POLITICS

PENTAGON WOKE WATCH
US POWER OVERSEAS
USS Ford carrier group equipped with new anti-drone weapons for possible Mideast deployment.
CHINA THREAT
China launches joint military drills from ‘multiple directions’ around Taiwan involving its army, navy, air force and rocket force as a “stern warning,” days after SECDEF Hegseth vowed to counter “China’s aggression” on his first visit to Asia.
During Indo-Pacific tour Hegseth rallies Japan and Philippines. Team Trump will “truly prioritize and shift to this region of the world in a way that is unprecedented. Today, it’s the Philippines. Tomorrow, it’s Japan. It will be Australia and South Korea and other nations in this part of the world,” Hegseth said.
Taiwan’s biggest limitation in defense isn’t spending, it’s late deliveries from US defense companies. The island nation is increasing its defense budget to 10 percent of its annual GDP, but this isn’t the main issue.
RUSSIA THREAT – UKRAINE WAR
DELAY – Kremlin official says Russia sees efforts to end Ukraine war as a drawn-out process, after Trump expressed frustration with the Russian leader as he tries to bring about a truce. (RELATED: Trump Signals Dramatic Shift On Ukraine After Infuriating Remarks [WATCH])
The MiG-35 has been on life support. Now Moscow wants to revive it for the Ukraine war. From all appearances, the fighter may be achieving that near-impossible task of coming back to life.
IRAN THREAT/ISRAEL WARS
More A-10s deploy to Middle East, this time from the Idaho Air National Guard.
SPACE THREAT
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
‘OUTRAGE’ – Trump and Musk back France’s right wing Le Pen as court verdict bans her from running. They joined a growing list of populist and far-right leaders – including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Matteo Salvini and the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders, backing her.

Who is giving aid to Myanmar after the earthquake?
US MILITARY
Every Marine a drone operator? New team aims to compete, set standards for unmanned aircraft warfare.
The Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter—announced as the F-47 by Trump this month—wasn’t going to be in the last Air Force budget request from Joe Biden’s Air Force Secretary. He believed there were higher priorities for the service.

Bravo Keep Dems off Balance
There are other reasons that will come to light soon for why President Trump will have a 3rd term and could if he really wanted to have a 4th term. We have protections in place for our President but during his 1st term political warfare was enacted on Trump preventing him from doing much of what he planned, also the Democrats through a coupe stole his 2nd term thru voter fraud that they themselves executed upon we the people. I don’t believe Trump will seek to serve more than 3 terms. Yes, it is constitutional and of course legal. As it unfolds people will understand, for now it is not the right time to go into for so much more must be exposed and corrected first. We are living in an amazing time…
