President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0shot down speculation that he would run as a vice presidential candidate in 2028, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that Republicans already have “great” prospective candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump made the statement during a gaggle with reporters on Sunday, brushing off questions about whether he would fully pursue such an option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president answered a slew of questions aboard Air Force One on his way to Tokyo, where he will meet with new Prime Minister\u00a0Sanae Takaichi\u00a0on the second leg of his\u00a0Asia tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also confirmed on Sunday that he would be open to meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un during his visit to South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of an answer to a question about a\u00a0potential third presidential term, Trump told reporters that the administration had \u201csome very good people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked to clarify the people he was referring to, the president named Vance and Rubio, who stood directly behind Trump, as he speculated about a 2028 ticket with both their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cWell, we have great people. Well, I don\u2019t have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here. We have JD [Vance] obviously. The vice president is great,\u201d said Trump. \u201cMarco [Rubio] is great. I\u2019m not sure if anybody would run against us. I think if they have a form to group it would be unstoppable, I do. I really believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have AOC’s low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass, like, the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. I took those very hard, they’re really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against him,” he continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Asked about whether he would run as vice president in 2028, Trump noted that he would be “allowed to do that,” but he called the plan “too cute.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Is it the White House, or the White House counsel’s, or your legal position, I guess, that you could do that?” a reporter pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute,” Trump responded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
