While he\u2019s teased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/01\/23\/trump-hints-at-fourth-term-in-office-cites-record-numbers-despite-low-approval-rating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">running for a third or even a fourth term<\/a> as president, he is constitutionally banned from doing so. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trump-teased-a-possible-political-future-in-israel\">Trump teased a possible political future in Israel.<\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday (May 20), he came up with an alternative option for his second act. Speaking to the press, he alluded to a possible political future in Israel. In fact, he said that he was interested in running to become the country\u2019s prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m right now at 99% in Israel. I could run for prime minister,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DYkB-u1j-CU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he said<\/a>. \u201cSo maybe, after I do this, I\u2019ll go to Israel and run for prime minister. I had a poll this morning; I\u2019m 99%, so that\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The current prime minister of Israel is <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong>. In the same conversation, <strong>Trump<\/strong> described his political ally as \u201ca wartime prime minister.\u201d He added, \u201cI just don\u2019t think they treat him well.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trump-has-a-much-lower-approval-rating-in-the-u-s\">Trump has a much lower approval rating in the U.S.<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear what poll the president is citing regarding his near-perfect approval rating in Israel. In the U.S., the most recent Times\/Siena poll revealed that only 37% of Americans approve of his actions in office. His disapproval rating sits at 59%. <\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/18\/upshot\/trump-poll-times-siena-analyis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a><\/em> noted that his approval rating had dropped four points from the start of the year, the last time that a Times\/Siena poll was conducted.<\/p>\n<p>His low rating is in relation to the ongoing war in Iran, which <strong>Trump<\/strong> started in late February. The military action against the country resulted in soaring gas prices and inflation. <\/p>\n<p>Despite Americans paying more, the president has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/03\/06\/trump-offers-blunt-response-to-americans-concerned-about-rising-gas-costs-amid-iran-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consistently said that the costs would go down<\/a> and argued that it was a worthy cause to suffer high prices to stop Iran from achieving nuclear abilities.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-president-has-previously-teased-a-political-career-in-venezuela-after-he-s-done-in-the-u-s\">The president has previously teased a political career in Venezuela after he\u2019s done in the U.S.<\/h3>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that Trump has toyed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/04\/07\/trump-reveals-possible-plan-for-after-he-finishes-2nd-term-in-office-it-involves-another-political-role\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continuing his political career<\/a> outside of the United States. <\/p>\n<p>In April, he told the press that he had similarly high poll numbers in Venezuela after he executed a military strike on the country that resulted in the detainment of the country\u2019s president <strong>Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo after I\u2019m finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won\u2019t take too long; I\u2019m good at language. And I will go to Venezuela. I\u2019m going to run for president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, he hinted at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/05\/13\/trump-considering-expanding-us-making-venezuela-51st-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another controversial plan for Venezuela<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>With his days in office numbered, Trump was recently asked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/05\/19\/trump-asked-to-name-1-of-3-potential-successors-best-at-preserving-legacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choose his successor out of a list of three options<\/a>.
