Billionaire Miram Adelson on Tuesday night suggested the legal obstacles for President Donald Trump to serve an additional term in office after 2028 are not insurmountable as the far-right Republican megadonor vowed another $250 million to bolster a run that experts say would be unlawful and unconstitutional on its face.

Adelson, a hardline Zionist who, along with her now deceased husband, Sheldon Adelson, has given hundreds of millions to US lawmakers who back a strong relationship between the US and Israeli governments, was sharing the podium with Trump during a Hanukkah candlelighting event at the White House when she made the remarks.

With a reference to Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, Adelson said they had discussed “the legal thing of four more years”—something Trump has repeatedly gestured toward and many of his backers have called for—and told Trump, “So, we can do it, think about it.”

A chant in the crowd then broke out for “For four more years!” as Adelson whispered something in Trump’s ear.

“She said, ‘Think about it, I’ll give you another $250 million,’” Trump then said into the microphone. “I will give,” Adelson said with a smile.

Watch the exchange:

Adelson: I met Alan Dershowitz… he said… four more years. We can do it. Think about it.

Crowd: *chants four more years*

For Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign alone, Adelson gave at least $100 million to support the Republican candidate with Super PAC she established, according to federal filings.

In his remarks on Tuesday, Trump credited Adelson with providing him $250 million overall—“directly and indirectly”—during his 2024 bid.

“When someone can you $250 million, I think that we should give her the opportunity to say hello,” Trump said, when introducing her. “And Miriam, make it quick, because $250 million is not what it used to be.”
