Public Remarks

Additionally, Donald Trump declared he would rule out campaigning for the vice-presidency in the 2028 US election, an concept some of his adherents have floated to allow the GOP leader to hold office an further tenure in the White House.

"I'd be allowed to do that," Trump said, in an conversation with media members within Air Force One.

But he added: "I would not pursue that. I believe it's overly clever. Indeed, I would eliminate that option because it's overly clever. I believe the people would object to that. It's too cute. It's not - it could not be considered appropriate."
