President Donald Trump joked Monday night at a rally that he would love to serve as many as five terms in the White House.

Speaking before a large crowd in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, Trump again bragged about his unexpected 2016 election victory.

“And then we’ll drive them crazy. Ready? And maybe if we really like it a lot and if things keep going like they’re going, we’ll go and we’ll do what we have to do,” said Trump. “We’ll do a three and a four and a five.”

“We’re going to have another one, and it’s going to be great,” he added as the crowd cheered.

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats remain divided over whether or not to impeach Trump following the damning revelations from special counsel Robert Muellers full Russia probe report.

Trump has already outpaced even the top 2020 Democratic presidential candidates for his re-election campaign in terms of fundraising in the first quarter of this year.
