The US president has admitted he enjoys his new term more than his first tenure when he had to deal with crooked guys

US President Donald Trump has claimed he is now running not only his country but the whole world and is "having a lot of fun" with his second presidential term.

The president made the remarks in an interview with The Atlantic, marking his first 100 days in office. Trump shared his experience with the magazine, stating he has been faring way better than at the time of his first presidency.

"The first time, I had two things to do-run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys," he stated. "And the second time, I run the country and the world."

Inquired further on the accounts of individuals close to the US administration, who told the magazine the president appears to be elated most of the time and has a "twinkle in his eye," Trump confirmed that was the case and he greatly enjoys doing various "serious stuff."

"I'm having a lot of fun, considering what I do," he said. "You know, what I do is such serious stuff."

The president was also asked about his repeated suggestions he could potentially run for office for the third time - despite not having a legal option to do so. The earlier remarks on the matter sparked fears Trump could ultimately opt to rewire the whole US electoral system to try and stay in power, while multiple high-profile Republicans dismissed such suggestions as joking on the president's part. The concerns have been reinforced by the emergence of 'Trump 2028' merch on his official store.

Trump, however, insisted he has had no actual plans to stay in office beyond his second term, admitting it was a rather complicated thing to do. "It's not something that I'm looking to do. And I think it would be a very hard thing to do," Trump stated.
