Only “a bad call from a doctor” could derail another bid for the White House, former President Trump said, tiptoeing ever closer to announcing his third presidential campaign.
The suggestion came Friday in a radio interview when the host noted Trump, who is set to take the stage in Perry, Ga., Saturday night, has shied away from formally announcing his widely anticipated run.
“I’ll ask you a different way, can you think of a reason not to run?” asked David Brody of the Real America’s Voice network.
“Well, I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?” Trump said. “You get that call. Come on down and see because we’ve got a bad report. … Things happen, through God, they happen.”
He added: “I feel so good and I hate what’s happening to our country. Our country has never been in a position like this. We were so good ten months ago and we’re so bad now.”
NEW: President Trump tells me there’s only ONE reason he wouldn’t run in 2024: “I guess a bad call from a doctor or something…things happen through God…but I feel so good and I hate what’s happening to our country.” Watch in full here! @RealAmVoice https://t.co/j4w5qM4g5W pic.twitter.com/aFlwPICC0U

Trump also criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci who also advised his administration on the coronavirus and is currently the chief medical advisor under Biden.
“He was there for like 40 years or something. He was a part of the furniture. But if you think about it, I really did pretty much the opposite of whatever he said,” Trump said.
He added: “I actually got along with him, you know? I actually found him – he was a character. He’d say, ‘Just call me Tony. Just call me Tony, sir.’ And, you know, he’s a better promoter than he is a doctor.”
