Trump made these remarks at a small business summit held in White House.

"When I get out of office in, let's say, eight or nine years from now, I'll be able to use it. I'll be able to use it myself," US president quipped at White House Small Business Summit while referring to a legislation regarding a government's tax-cut policies for business community.

As Trump delivered these remarks, the room broke into laughter, receiving applaud from the business community leaders present there.

According to Twenty-Second Amendment of US Constitution, no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. Trump is currently serving his second term in the White House.

Despite presidential term limits in the United States, Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of staying in office beyond them in recent times.
