Donald Trump already sets sights on TWO TERMS as US President before he’s even sworn in
DONALD Trump has already set his sights on TWO TERMS as President of the United States before he’s even been sworn in.
While delivering his acceptance speech, after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton phoned to concede defeat, he toyed with the idea of a second four-year term.
In what will be to the collective horror of millions who backed Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump said: “It's been what they call a historic event - but to be a really historic we have to do a great job.
"I promise you I will not let you down, we will do a great job - I look very much forward to being your president.
"And hopefully at the end of two years, or three years, or four years - or maybe even eight years - you will say that so many of you worked so hard, but you will say that was something that you were really very proud to do."
Supporters cheered the reality television star during the 15 minute speech, which called time on eight years of Democratic rule at the White House, under Barack Obama.
Surrounded by his family on stage at the end of the race, he pledged to be a president for “all Americans.”

He said: “It is time for us to come together as one united people.
"I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans.
"I want to tell the world community that, while we will always put America's interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone - all people and all other nations.
"The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer."
