TRUMP RULES OUT 2028 VICE PRESIDENCY — “I DON’T NEED TO BE CUTE”

President Trump Praises Vance & Rubio as Future GOP Powerhouses, Calls Democrats “Low IQ” Pretenders


Aboard Air Force One, President Donald J. Trump put an end to the latest wave of political speculation — that he might return to the campaign trail in 2028 as a vice-presidential candidate. His answer was pure Trump: confident, direct, and dripping with disdain for the Beltway gossip mill.

“You’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute,”

Trump told reporters, waving off the notion with the same ease he once used to dismantle political opponents.


“We have great people — JD is great, Marco is great. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable.”

With that, the 47th President of the United States signaled that the future of the America First movement won’t rely on procedural games or backdoor strategies — it will be built by a new generation of strong conservative leaders molded in Trump’s image.


In a rare moment of forward-looking clarity, Trump spotlighted his Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as two rising Republican heavyweights capable of carrying the torch into 2028 and beyond.


Both men represent a continuation of the Trump doctrine: economic nationalism, border security, and unapologetic patriotism. Their names now sit squarely in the conversation for the next Republican presidential ticket — with Trump’s blessing.


“We have great people. I don’t have to get into that,” Trump said, smiling.
“JD’s here. Marco’s great. I’m not sure anybody could run against those two.”

As is tradition, Trump didn’t let the media have all the fun. When asked about possible Democratic contenders, he unleashed his signature verbal artillery — this time aimed at Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).


“They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have AOC’s low IQ. Give her an IQ test — the kind I took at Walter Reed,” Trump said, referencing the cognitive tests he once described as “very hard.”

“When you get up to 10 or 20 questions, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those.”

The jab wasn’t just vintage Trump humor — it was a reminder of what conservatives have long argued: the Left has the slogans, but not the smarts. The Democratic bench, dominated by activists and social media personalities, lacks the intellectual and leadership depth to govern a superpower.


Pressed by a reporter on whether running for vice president would even be constitutionally permissible, Trump clarified: it might be allowed, but it’s not right.


“You’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute,” Trump said firmly.

In one sentence, he did what few politicians can — reaffirmed his dominance while showing humility before the Constitution. It’s a move that separates Trump from Washington’s game-players: he’s not interested in “cute” maneuvers, just straightforward, patriotic leadership.


Trump’s message was clear: the movement is bigger than one man — but it will always bear his fingerprints. Vance and Rubio, he’s sketching the blueprint for a Republican future that looks decisive, disciplined, and distinctly Trumpian. The president’s remarks are likely to ignite energy within GOP ranks and shift attention toward building the MAGA 2.0 leadership class.


At the same time, his mocking of the Democratic field keeps the cultural battle alive — one that’s not just about policy, but intellect, character, and patriotism.


President Trump has no need to play “cute.” He’s already reshaped the Republican Party, redefined what leadership looks like, and now — from 30,000 feet aboard Air Force One — he’s charting the course for the next era of American conservatism.
