Trump says he would not run for vice president in 2028
- Trump says he’d “love” a third presidential term.
- Calls third-term idea “too cute” but not ruled out.
- Praises Vance and Rubio as “unstoppable” future leaders.
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.”

Emily Deschanel reveals two word secret to 15 year marriage with David Hornsby
Emily Deschanel has revealed the secret to her 15-year marriage with husband David Hornsby.
While attending the 18th Annual GO Gala at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California, Deschanel, 49, revealed the secret to their relationship.
“Good communication,” Deschanel told People.
She explained, “That’s one thing that’s helpful. We’ve been married for 15 years now, so that’s like 100 years in Hollywood years.”
Deschanel and Hornsby have kept their relationship out of the spotlight, and her younger sister Zooey, 45, and her fiancé, Jonathan Scott, 47, seem to have taken a leaf out of their notebook.
The New Girl star and Jonathan, who got engaged two years gow, have kept mum about their wedding plans.
Deschanel revealed that even she doesn’t know when her sister is getting married.
“I don’t know when that’ll happen,” she shared. “I mean, at this point, they’re just enjoying their life. But I’m ready to throw that bachelorette party whenever I get the go-ahead.”
“I don’t ask, yeah, I don’t ask. I just let it be,” she said of the wedding date. “I asked at the beginning. I let them be. They’ll let me know when it’s happening. And the fact that they’re engaged is wonderful in itself.”
Emily Deschanel and David Hornsby share sons Henry, 14, and Calvin, 10.

Fight breaks out at one of UK’s biggest mosques
LONDON: The Charity Commission is investigating claims of misuse of more than £1m and corruption at one of the UK’s biggest mosques — Hounslow Jamia Masjid & Islamic Centre in West London.
A viral video footage shows worshippers and the mosque management — who are mostly Pakistanis — getting into a brawl inside the mosque — amid accusations of harassment, abuse, intimidation, shoving, punching, and violence.
The dispute started — published in mainstream UK papers — after the former friends and trustees of the mosques fell out with each other and started blaming each other.
Police and an ambulance were called to the scene, the Sun reported.
A trustee of the mosque has resigned his position after 20 years of service — including 10 years as chairman — and a councillor has reported five alleged attacks on his home and car to cops, and begged the council and Labour bigwigs to step in.
In his resignation letter from the mosque, Abdul Majid told how when he ran the Hounslow Jamia Masjid, the bank balance was consistently between £400,000 to £500,000 in credit.
Abdul Majid stated: “Unfortunately, the current financial state of the mosque is a cause for great concern, with the account balance now very low. This, among other matters, has compelled me to conclude that I can no longer continue in this role in good conscience.”
Around £300,000 of charitable donations collected each year at the mosque “do not appear in any official accounts or bank records”. Large collections for the Gaza crisis are “unaccounted for”, he has alleged.
Majid referred to documents in which the firm BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions filed a claim for £150,000 against the mosque’s 11 trustees in a row over a 12-year lease of photocopiers. An out-of-court settlement — “without full board approval or proper discussion” — means the mosque is paying the company £5,000 per month until August 2027.
A lucrative security contract went to a close associate of the mosque’s senior leadership team. Relatives were awarded the contract to supply groceries and meat to the mosque. A series of contracts have been reported without a transparent bidding process, the Charity Commission was told.
It has been suggested that “unqualified” individuals have been appointed to key financial positions. There is a major problem surrounding “familial relationships”, the Charity Commission was told.
The councillor also reached out to Dan Bowring, chair of the Brentford and Isleworth Constituency Labour Party. He called for a formal Labour Party probe into the “conduct of certain individuals within our party who are misusing their official positions and community influence to incite hostility and endanger the safety of elected members.”
The mosque is frequented by up to 4,000 Muslims a day.
A source at the mosque said about the leaked fight footage that some worshippers were banned from the premises after leaders accused them of causing “breach of the peace and public disorder”.
One of the people also banned from the mosque was the councillor. Those expelled were told that returning to the mosque would be viewed as “trespass” and tensions are still understood to be “heightened”.
The Charity Commission, responsible for ensuring the governance, management, and administration of a charity is fit for purpose, said in a statement: “We have opened a regulatory compliance case into Hounslow Jamia Masjid and Islamic Centre to assess concerns regarding the charity’s governance.”
A source at the mosque said: “It’s all about personal animosity. There is no truth to the allegations. The people involved in the dispute used to be best of friends, had joint business and social matters. They fell out and have taken their personal issues to the mosque, making it a big issue. The allegations are baseless and frivolous.”
The mosque source said that they will set out their position very soon and bring facts before the public and the worshippers. He said every allegation of financial corruption is false.

Welcome to Derry’ makers wanted to shock fans
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.
