US President Donald Trump on Monday ruled out running for the vice presidency in the 2028 US election, an approach some of his supporters have floated to allow the Republican president to serve an additional term in office.

“I’d be allowed to do that,” Trump said, in an exchange with reporters aboard Air Force One.

But he added: “I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that. It’s too cute. It’s not — it wouldn’t be right.”

The remarks were Trump’s latest on the subject, which he has teased in public remarks and with “Trump 2028” hats he hands out at the White House.

No one may be elected to the US presidency a third time, according to the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution.

Some have suggested that one way around this prohibition would be for Trump to stand as vice president, while another candidate stood for president and resigned, letting Trump again assume the presidency. Opponents have disputed whether this would be legal.

Referring to the possibility of a third term, Trump said: “I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever.”

When pressed by a reporter whether he was not ruling out a third term, he said, “Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me.”

Referring to Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump also said they are great people who could run for the office.

“I think if they ever formed a group, it’d be unstoppable,” he said. “I really do. I believe that.”

As the first episode of It: Welcome to Derry ends, fans are left in shock. Now, the makers behind the show say this is exactly what they wanted.

In a chat with TV Guide, co-showrunner Jason Fuchs shares, “We always knew we wanted audiences to feel disoriented and thrown off by [the feeling of] ‘Oh, my goodness, anything can happen.”

He continues, “Characters we love might not make it…’ Forget about making it to the end of the season, but make it to Episode 2! There was always this general design of How do we convey to an audience to expect the unexpected from this series?”

Meanwhile, Andy Muschietti shares that they intentionally led the audience to believe something else from the start of the episode. “We sort of presented this little subversion, which is, OK, here are the losers that you’re going to love for the rest of the season.”

“And by the end of the [first] episode, they all die,” he adds. “We all agreed it was a great idea. We’ll see now what people think. But I think it’s that kind of kick in the balls that, for good or bad, is going to shock people and hopefully make them want to keep watching.”

Jason also credits his co-showrunner, Brad Caleb Kane, for the idea to end the first episode on a shocking note. “It was really Brad’s contribution, one of the first contributions [he] made when we partnered on this.”

“I’d written the pilot, and there was a brutal ending, but it was not the current ending. There were more survivors,” he notes.

Episode two of It: Welcome to Derry will drop on Friday.

Radiohead is completely surprised by their TikTok success.

The band’s 1997 single Let Down returned to America’s Billboard Hot 100 in August, 28 years after its release after the track became popular on the platform.

Front man Thom Yorke admits the song’s resurgence feels “bizarre” because he initially fought to have it dropped from their 1997 album OK Computer.

Yorke told The Sunday Times newspaper’s Culture magazine: “I find that especially bizarre. Because I fought tooth and nail for it not to be on the record, but [guitarist] Ed O’Brien was, like: ‘If it’s not, I’m leaving.'”

Ed O’Brien went on to tell the publication he sees the song as the “emotional heart” of the album, but he was still confused by the song’s popularity on TikTok – so he asked his kids about it.

He said: “I was astonished [by the son’s success on TikTok]. So, I told my kids, who are 18 and 21, and they said: ‘What do you expect? Teenagers are depressed. It’s depressing music!'”

It is pertinent to mention that Radiohead announced last month they will be returning to the stage in a number of European cities later this year marking their first gigs since 2018.

Thom Yorke also explained the reason for the band’s hiatus, saying: “The wheels came off a bit, so we had to stop.”
