Political Statements

Furthermore, the former president announced he would reject campaigning for the vice president role in the 2028 US election, an approach some of his followers have suggested to permit the Republican president to serve an further tenure in government.

"I'd be allowed to pursue that path," Trump said, in an conversation with reporters within the presidential aircraft.

But he added: "I wouldn't do that. In my opinion it's overly clever. Yeah, I would eliminate that option because it's too cute. In my opinion the public would object to that. It's overly clever. It's not - it would not constitute right."
