Donald Trump Would ‘Love’ Stephen A. Smith to Run for President

Donald Trump may have just endorsed his successor … ’cause he says Stephen A. Smith has all the necessary skills to be POTUS — most especially, entertainment value.

The president gave a phone interview on NewsNation Wednesday night … chatting with Bill O’Reilly, Chris Cuomo and Stephen A. — when Bill asked him what he thought of Stephen taking a shot at the highest office in the land.

ICYMI … last month, Smith blasted the Democratic Party and claimed he had “no choice” but to consider running for the job in 2028.

DJT says he has no advice for Stephen … saying he’s a good guy who has “great entertainment skills” — a trait President Trump says is essential for the job.

Trump uses the moment as a chance to take a shot at Dems … saying none of them know how to entertain — before finishing off his comments by saying he’d “love to see him run.”

Of course, Trump might be endorsing something of an opponent for himself in 2028 — because he’s indicated he plans to find a way around the constitutionally defined term limit. He’s even selling “Trump 2028” hats on his website.
