Donald Trump has announced that he will not be running for the Presidency in 2028, whether he wins or loses. America’s News Desk says:
After much speculation, Donald Trump has announced that 2024 will be the former president’s last political rodeo, win or lose.
The Associated Press reports:
Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he doesn’t “think” he’d run again for president in 2028 if he falls short in his bid to return to the White House in 2024.
“No, I don’t. I think that will be, that will be it,” Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him if he’d run again.
The comment was notable both because Trump seemed to rule out a fourth bid for the White House and because he rarely admits the possibility he could legitimately lose an election. Trump normally insists that could only happen if there were widespread cheating, a false allegation he made in 2020 and he’spreemptively made again during his 2024 presidential campaign.
The statement about 2028 came at the very end of the interview, which also included a question about how Trump stays in good health. “I try and eat properly,” the former president said, drawing an incredulous reaction from Attkisson, who noted that Trump has become infamous for his fondness for hamburgers.
“Proper hamburgers,” Trump said.
President Trump says he doesn’t see himself running in 2028 if he loses in November.

“No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all. I think that hopefully we’re gonna be successful.”
