Charlamagne Tha God said Trump's planned White House ballroom is proof he intends to seek a third term, joking on Wednesday that the president is not building it for successors such as J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio.
The project he cited is a 90,000-square-foot ballroom designed to seat 650 people and scheduled for completion before the end of Trump's second term.
Hogan Gidley, a former White House deputy press secretary, said the remarks could be taken seriously by people prone to violence, pointing to multiple assassination attempts against Trump and administration officials.
Gidley argued the ballroom has a practical security rationale, especially after a gunman charged a Secret Service checkpoint at last month's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
The clash taps into wider debate over Trump's jokes about serving beyond constitutional limits, even though the 22nd Amendment bars presidents from more than two terms.
