Trump U-turns on BBC Defamation Lawsuit after Being Told to Provide Evidence of His Finances

August 7, 2026 | President Donald Trump has once more given mixed signals regarding the 2028 election, with a recent Truth Social post hinting he might seek to run himself again.

Despite reports claiming that Trump has insisted that Republicans must work to get Vice President JD Vance elected as his replacement, he didn't seem too keen to fully endorse his VP on Thursday. When asked about Vance running in 2028, Trump insisted it was too early to think about such a thing.

He also informed White House journalists that it "could be a long time" before he departs office, adding fuel to questions about whether Trump would willingly relinquish the presidency.
