President Trump said Thursday he will run for re-election in 2020, and said he hasn’t seen any Democratic contender that scares him.
“So far I like every one of them,” Trump said when asked on Fox News about possible candidates like Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Sens. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.
“I just hope they stay healthy, and I hope they fight it out, and any one of them I like,” he said. “I just hope that we don’t get any star or a good thinker coming out of nowhere.”

Trump said any of them would be easy because of their flaws. He said Booker, D-N.J., ran the city of Newark into the ground as mayor, and said Warren, D-Mass., faked her heritage as a descendant of Native Americans.
“I have more Indian blood in me than she does, and I have none, unfortunately,” Trump said.
Trump said he gave Sanders, I-Vt., credit for working hard to win votes among Democratic voters, but said he was “unfairly cheated by crooked Hillary” Clinton during the 2016 primary.
Trump said his plan is to go easy on what he says is a soft Democratic field so one of them can become the nominee.
“Any one of those names I like, I don’t see a name that I don’t like,” he said.
