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.

It's kind of a waddle. He leans forward noticeably (side effect of the double lifts in his shoes), and shifts from side to side to offset his obesity. Also his hands often face back when walking (most people's palms face their body when walking) - this has been correlated to pathological mental illness.
