Trump has said he won’t run for president again if he loses in November

Former President Donald Trump said he would not consider running again in 2028 if he loses in November.

Trump made the remarks during an interview on an episode of “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” which aired Sunday.

“If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?” Attkisson, the interviewer, asked Trump:

“No, no,” he replied. “I don’t see that at all.”

“I think hopefully we’ll be successful,” he added.

The two also discussed other topics, including immigration and a September incident in which shots were fired near Trump’s golf course in Florida.

After President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July, Trump, at 78, became the oldest presidential candidate in the country’s history.

And if he were to run again in November 2028, he would be 82 on Election Day that year.

Including this election cycle, Trump has run for the top job four times. He ran for the first time in 2000 with the Reform Party and three times with the Republican Party in 2016, 2020 and 2024.

Before Biden dropped out of the race, Trump accused the president of being mentally unfit to run for re-election. He also dared Biden to take a cognitive test after the latter’s poor performance in the CNN debate in June.

Speaking at a Turning Point Action convention in Detroit in June, Trump said of Biden: “He doesn’t even know what the word ‘inflation’ means.” I think he should take a cognitive test just like me.”

The former president said he took a cognitive test in 2018 and has since bragged about it, saying he “cleared” the “very tough” assessment.

However, the test’s creator told The Washington Post that the assessment “was not intended to measure IQ or intellectual ability in any way,” but to detect whether someone has cognitive problems, such as memory problems.

Separately, Trump also called himself a “fine, brilliant young man” as he attacked his much younger opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.

A representative for Trump did not directly address BI’s questions when reached for comment.
