CNBC anchorwoman Rebecca Quick interjected, "Are you going to run again? The Constitution…"
"No, probably not," Trump responded. "Probably not."
"And you're not going to, and you're not going to fire Jay Powell," Kernen added, referencing tensions between Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
Trump circled back to address Quick directly: "I'd like to run," Trump told the anchorwoman. "I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. You know why. Because people love the tariffs, and they love the trade deals, and they love that countries – they love that foreign countries aren't ripping us off. For years, they ripped us. A friend, and foe and a friend. And the friends were worse."
The 22nd amendment of the U.S. Constitution says a person can be elected president only twice. If someone takes over as president – as a vice president would due to death or resignation – and serves more than two years in that term, the amendment states that person can only be elected president once more. It effectively sets a maximum of 10 years for any person to serve as commander-in-chief.

"I have never had requests so strong as that. But it's something to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do," Trump told MSNBC's Kristen Welker. "There are many people selling the 2028 hat, but this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to having four great years, and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican. A great Republican to carry it forward. But I think we're going to have four years, and four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular."
Trump said he believed the MAGA movement could survive without him, floating Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors.
