Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday he “doesn't believe” he would run for president again in 2028 if he fails to return to the White House in 2024.
“No, I don't think so. I think that's it,” Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him if he would run again.
The comment was notable because Trump appeared to rule out a fourth run for the White House and since he rarely admits the likelihood that he could lose an election. Trump typically insists that might only occur if there was widespread fraud, a false accusation he made in 2020 and has preemptively raised again during his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump could be 82 in 2028, a 12 months older than President Joe Biden is today. Biden withdrew from the race in July after a disastrous debate performance and months of Trump and other conservatives accusing him of being too old and unpredictable for the job.
Attkisson interviewed Trump for her show “Full Measure.” During the 22-minute interview, Trump also defended his record on the coronavirus pandemic, taking credit for the event of the COVID-19 vaccines developed during his presidency while also saying, “They're doing studies on the vaccines and we're going to find out” whether or not they're protected.
Trump said Republicans had turn out to be skeptical of the vaccines while Democrats trusted them.
The 2028 statement got here on the very end of the interview, which also included a matter about how Trump stays healthy. “I try to eat right,” the previous president said, to which Attkisson responded in disbelief, noting that Trump is notorious for his love of hamburgers.
“Real hamburgers,” Trump said.
