Trump said he will not take part in a fourth presidential campaign.

The Full Measure host discussed the ex-president's plans for the future if he loses in November, directly asking him: "If you are not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?"

He answered: "No, I don't. I think that will be – that will be it. I don't see that at all. Hopefully we are going to be successful."

After President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Trump is now the oldest person to be nominated for president by a major party.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Democrats are panicking over the policies outlined in "Project 2025", the right-wing Heritage Foundation's nearly 1,000-page playbook for transforming the federal government in the next Republican administration.

The controversial document's wishlist includes banning pornography and the abortion pill, firing thousands of civil servants and replacing them with Trump loyalists, dismantling the Department of Education, and radically expanding the executive branch's powers to consolidate power in the Oval Office.

Several critics of the former president are worried about Trump ruling like a dictator if he steps foot into the Oval Office again.

During a town hall hosted by Sean Hannity in December, the Fox News host asked the former president: "Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?"

Trump replied he would only be a "dictator" on "day one" of being in the White House if he wins the 2024 election.

When Hannity pressed Trump, the GOP nominee said: "I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill ... That's not retribution."
