Ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward.

Harry Enten 0:27
Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. I would love reconciliation with my family.
Megyn Kelly 0:32
And Prince Harry says he is ready to reconcile with his family, whom he's called racist and suggested were apathetic about his wife's alleged suicidal thoughts. Huh.

President Trump on Sunday sitting down with Meet the Press in a wide-ranging interview covering topics from the economy to the future of the MAGA movement. Mr. Trump giving the clearest response to date about running for a third term.
Kristen Welker 2:15
Are you seriously considering a third term, Mr. President, even though it's prohibited by the Constitution? Or is this about staying politically viable?
Donald Trump 2:23
I will say this. So many people want me to do it. But this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward. You look at Marco, you look at J.D. Vance, who's fantastic. You look at I could name 10, 15, 20 people right now just sitting here.
Megyn Kelly 2:47
The president then comparing the GOP to the current Democrat Party.
Donald Trump 2:51
And you know what I can't name? I can't name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats, they're in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. And they said she's the future of the party. I said, you have to be kidding. I don't know what they're going to do. But I watch Bernie Sanders.

Who are Trump's potential MAGA successors?

Donald Trump 3:12
He's a nut job, but he's still sharp. He's sharp. He's the same guy he was.
Megyn Kelly 3:17
Host Kristen Welker asking President Trump about comments he made last week regarding whether the tariff plan could lead to empty store shelves. President Trump responding, quote, maybe children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. Maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they normally would. The comments igniting a media firestorm.
Commentator 3:37
If I wake up on Christmas morning and I run downstairs to find only two dolls under my tree, I will lose my effing mind. So Donnie Two Dolls thinks this country's kids are wildly oversupplied with dolls. The golden toilet guy is now preaching minimalism? Imagine if that had been Donald Trump's 2024 campaign message. You already have too much crap, you spoiled brats.
Megyn Kelly 4:04
The New York Post's cover story the following day, skimp on the Barbie. On Sunday, President Trump doubling down on the comment. A quote, I'm gonna quote what you said.
Kristen Welker 4:13
Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. Yeah. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally. Are you saying that your tariffs will cause some prices to go up?
