Speaking at a GM proving ground in Michigan, he highlighted his economic achievements and briefly addressed the Iran war, which had recently resumed after a ceasefire collapse. Trump emphasized his upset about the possibility of a new president taking credit for the economic growth he fostered, mentioning he hopes to prevent this from happening. He did not rule out the possibility of a third term, which would require a constitutional amendment.<\/p>\n<p>regarding the Iran conflict, trump indicated efforts to reduce fuel prices and described Iran\u2019s response to U.S. military strikes as \u201cbegging\u201d for the violence to end, likening it again to \u201cplaying a banjo.\u201d the war had escalated in July after a period of decreased hostilities.
