Donald Trump said in an interview released on Sunday that he did not think he would run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year’s race for the White House.

In an interview on the Full Measure television show with Sharyl Attkisson, the former US president – who ran in 2016 and 2020 – was asked whether he saw himself running yet again in four years time.

“No, I don’t,” Trump answered. “I don’t see that at all.”

He said: “Hopefully, we’re going to be successful.”

    Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.

            If he wins he won’t ever let go of power. When you’re president, they (the supreme court) let you do it.

              I suppose it’s possible, with 4 years of unchecked power and the project 2025 guys working for him they might be able to figure it out :/

                There is no supposing. JD Vance is already saying once he is VP he will not certify the election if Trump loses again.

                Don’t forget SCOTUS says he can’t be stopped by anything but impeachment.

            Is there any past comment or behavior that would suggest Trump wouldn’t run for a third term, if given the chance?

      Well, yes. Trump Lies. We all know that. One can only hope that his ongoing mental breakdown will be clearly visible by them even to the hardcore fans of him.

          Well, if he continues on the current slope, Trump will not be able to fabricate anything much longer. Even Fox “News” has problems loving him anymore. The third “piller of reality” will take a bit longer to fall, true.

      Honestly this election is clearly taking a toll on him, and in four more years that unhealthy lifestyle might have caught up with him
