President Donald Trump sparked fresh debate over presidential term limits on Monday, May 4, after joking that he might remain in office for "eight or nine years." The remark, delivered during a White House small business summit, drew laughter and applause from the audience but quickly invoked memories of Trump's past comments regarding the matter. 'When I get out of office in eight or nine years from now' President Donald Trump made the comment while discussing tax incentives for businesses under the Republican-backed One Big, Beautiful Bill Act passed in 2025.
