Trump claims he would easily beat Obama if he ran for election

Trump gave an interview to sports commentator Stephen Smith.

When asked what would happen if former presidents who served two terms in the country had a chance of being re-elected and faced Obama, Trump said, "I think I can beat him easily." he replied.

Pointing to the votes he received in states such as Texas and Florida, Trump said, "I received more votes than he did." he said.

Trump said about Obama, "I don't think Obama was a good president. He was a divider." he said.

When asked what kind of president he describes himself as, Trump said: "I am a person who brings people together." he replied.

Trump argued that Obama was "overrated."

The US Constitution prohibits people from being elected president for more than 2 terms, and in this case, it becomes impossible for Obama and Trump to face each other in any election.

Barack Obama served as president twice between 2009 and 2017. Trump, who spent his first presidential term in 2017-2021, has been in the presidential chair since January 2025 and will complete his second term in 2029.
