Trump says after 2020 loss, he thought ‘I’ll run again and shove it up their a**’

Published



President Donald Trump was characteristically blunt on Monday night while riffing about why he decided to run for president again after leaving office in 2021.

Trump held a dinner at the White House with the Kennedy Center Board, which he recently restaffed with loyalists in an effort to reinvigorate the arts. He began riffing during his speech at the dinner, recalling how during his first term, he bemoaned the fact that the Olympics and World Cup would be hosted in the United States in 2028 and 2026, respectively, which he wouldn’t be able to preside over due to his being termed out in 2024.
