But it also has the flavor of the fatigue and fear he's also experiencing.

The Republican presidential nominee spoke with Sinclair Broadcast Group journalist Sharyl Attkisson at his Mar-a-Lago residence on Friday for an interview that aired on her show, Full Measure, on Sunday. … And it ended with Attkisson asking him whether he sees himself running again in 2028 if his current presidential bid — his third in a row — is unsuccessful.
