Video: Donald Trump Says He Wants To See Stephen A. Smith Run For President In 2028

Hold up – did you hear that Donald Trump wants to see Stephen A. Smith run for president in 2028? That’s definitely a plot twist we didn’t see coming! But hey, stranger things have happened in politics!

If you’re a sports fan, you probably know Stephen A. Smith as the outspoken commentator and host on ESPN. He’s never been one to shy away from sharing his opinions, so can you imagine him as the leader of the free world? It would definitely make for some interesting press conferences.

“I’ve been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates, and I will tell you I’d love to see him run,” Trump, 78, said in a NewsNation interview.

The phone interview included Smith, who hosts “First Take” on ESPN, and former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and former Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly — with the conservative O’Reilly floating Smith’s candidacy, possibly in jest.

“Stephen A, he’s a good guy. He’s a smart guy. I love watching him,” Trump replied to O’Reilly’s idea.

“He’s got great entertainment skills, which is very important. People watch him. You know, a lot of these Democrats I watch, I say they have no chance.”

Trump had just fielded questions from Smith, who is black, on a series of actions by his administration to roll back policies intended to benefit racial minorities.

“Your administration has issued executive orders dismantling DEI initiative across federal agencies, including revoking equal opportunity mandates and slashing funding for minority owned businesses,” Smith told the president.

“Critics argue these actions reverse decades of civil rights progress. So how do you justify these measures, and what message do they send to the marginalized communities?”

Trump politely fended off the criticism.

“What we’re doing is we have a country that’s based solely on merit now, and that’s the way it is. If somebody’s out there doing a great job —and this includes getting into colleges if you’ve worked really hard — and we don’t look at race,” Trump said.

“We don’t look at color, we don’t look at height or shortness or weight. If somebody is doing a good job and they worked and they got great marks, and they got great board numbers, and they get rejected at Harvard, which has been so disgusting, so horribly. I mean, so think of it.”

We’ll have to wait and see if this is just a passing comment from Trump or if there’s some real momentum behind this idea. But hey, in today’s political climate, anything seems possible. Let’s see what happens in 2028!
