Donald Trump says he won't run for US president again if he loses in November | BBC News

Former President Donald Trump has said he does not expect to run for election again in 2028 if he is defeated in this November's US presidential poll.

Trump has been the Republican candidate for three national elections in a row and has reshaped the party greatly over the last eight years.

In an interview with Sinclair Media Group, he was asked if he could foresee another run in the event that he loses to Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris, and replied, "No, I don't. I think... that will be it."

US law bars presidents from serving more than two terms, and so Trump is not expected to run in 2028 if he wins, either.

[USA.RE]

Right... The problem is that he will not accept the results.

[shellingford]

Nobody wants or needs him to run again right now😩

[ericthur]

"He doesn't think" only quote I need 😂😂 1:08

[OneRandomVictory]

At his age, he'd be lucky to live through the presidency even if he won.

[GDTRFB]

How shocking, not running at 82?!? Who would’ve imagined!

[mikeclifton]

Let's hope, just for once, that he's not lying. Ideally he will see out his days in an orange jumpsuit.

[publics.public]

If he started running he'd probably burst.

[BlingBlingBandido]

He would be crouching at best instead of 'running' anyway

[catalinacurio]

Why are you repeating what a liar says BBC? He said he’d leave the country if he lost in 2020, he’s still here….

[GetToDaChoppa-kr]

He shouldn't be allowed to run now. He should be behind prison bars in an orange jumpsuit.

[roville]

Darn. I was hoping to see him lose again.

[anodyne]

Wow, so out of character–he actually acknowledged the possibility that he might be "unsuccessful." A sure sign that he's losing a grip.

[Corsuwey]

Yeah... and we'll see another attempt at Jan 6th when he loses. The only better news would be him dropping out on his own volition.

[markphc]

To be fair it’s tough to mount an election campaign from jail

[PhilDrury]

A curiously timed statement on his part.

[zhu]

He's not going to to run because he'll be in prison.

[louisavondart]

Well, that's a relief ! Wait.... he lies all the time.

[susannortham.]

He's too old to run right now, declining fast.

[anniejuan]

He said something similar in 2020 - that if he lost to Joe Biden, he (Trump) would leave the country. He lost, but he failed to fulfil that promise. So, I don't believe him. But just in case it's true, I will give my vote for Harris/Walz a little extra willpower as I place it in the ballot box.

[alanbailey]

Congress should pass a law not to allow felons in prison to run for president.
