Jon Stewart hosts "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart doesn't think President Donald Trump intends to leave office in January 2029.

On the latest episode of "The Daily Show," the comedian argued Trump is planning to serve a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms.

Stewart was reacting to a clip of Trump being asked if he could run for president again in 2028 in spite of the constitutional limitations. Trump insisted he hasn't "really thought about it," which Stewart described as "the tell for whenever he's asked about something that he is definitely going to do that is dubious legally, ethically or morally."

"He says he hasn't thought about it, but of course, we know he's thought about it because he already has the merch," Stewart said, showing a photo of the president with Trump 2028 hats on his desk in the Oval Office.

The comedian added that the "indications are very clear he's going to do it," pointing to Trump's move to demolish the East Wing of the White House to build a $250 million ballroom.

"You don't move into a house, knock down a wing, and build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom for the next guy," Stewart said. "Trump's not a house flipper. He's not Ellen. He's in it for the long haul."

While speaking to reporters on Oct. 27, Trump also said he would "love to" run for a third term. When asked if this means he is not ruling out another presidential bid, Trump responded, "Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

Trump has mentioned the idea of a potential third term several times in the past, despite being limited to two terms by the Constitution. In March, he told NBC News that "there are methods" by which he could seek another term and stressed that he's "not joking" about this.

In May, Trump told "Meet the Press" that "so many people" want him to run again, but he acknowledged he's "not allowed" to do so. "This is not something I'm looking to do," he said at the time. "I'm looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, to carry it forward."

Comedian Seth Meyers also reacted to Trump's latest third term talk on NBC's "Late Night," arguing the president's "trolling" is "designed to distract from" the fact that he is "historically unpopular."

Robert De Niro, an outspoken Trump critic, recently predicted Trump will attempt to remain in office beyond the end of his second term. While appearing on MSNBC, the "Taxi Driver" star asserted Trump "will not leave the White House," adding that anyone who thinks he will is "deluding themselves."
