President Donald Trump said he « probably » won’t run for a third term during a CNBC interview, while also touting his tariff policies and trade deals.
President Donald Trump answered Tuesday whether he would try to campaign for the White House a fourth time around.
During a phone interview on CNBC’s « Squawk Box », Trump was discussing Bureau of Labor Statistics job numbers that he argues were « rigged » during the 2024 presidential election to inflate former President Joe Biden’s economic performance. While discussing gerrymandering, Trump said he « got the highest vote in the history of Texas » – a claim CNBC anchorman Joe Kernen initially challenged but then admitted a network fact-check showed Trump did get the highest number of votes in Texas.
« I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, a record that they say won’t be beaten unless I run again », Trump said.

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.
