Trump says after 2020 loss, he’d run again, shove it up their a**
In a recent dinner event at the White House with the Kennedy Center Board, former President Donald Trump candidly shared his thoughts on why he decided to run for president again after his 2021 exit. During his speech, Trump expressed frustration over his inability to oversee the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup in the United States due to the limitations of his presidential term ending in 2024. He recounted a moment of reflection following his 2020 election loss, stating that he resolved to run again to “shove it up their a**,” referring to his opponents. This comment elicited laughter and applause from the audience.
Trump framed his return to politics as an unexpected prospect, noting that rather of retiring, he is now positioned to preside over significant upcoming events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games. He remarked on the irony of his political comeback, suggesting that had the election not been “rigged,” he would have retired instead. His speech resonated with an audience that included notable members of his management, reflecting the ongoing political landscape as Trump gears up for the 2024 election.
Trump says after 2020 loss, he thought ‘I’ll run again and shove it up their a**’
President Donald Trump was characteristically blunt on Monday night while riffing about why he decided to run for president again after leaving office in 2021.
Trump held a dinner at the White House with the Kennedy Center Board, which he recently restaffed with loyalists in an effort to reinvigorate the arts. He began riffing during his speech at the dinner, recalling how during his first term, he bemoaned the fact that the Olympics and World Cup would be hosted in the United States in 2028 and 2026, respectively, which he wouldn’t be able to preside over due to his being termed out in 2024.
“And then they rigged the election, and then I said, ‘You know what I’ll do? I’ll run again, and I’ll shove it up their a**,’” he said, triggering laughter and applause from the audience.
“And that’s what I did. And all of a sudden, I then realized, I said, you know what? I got the Olympics. I got the World Cup, and I got the 250th. Look at the way this works out,” Trump added.
“So if they would have left us alone and wouldn’t have cheated on the election and wouldn’t have rigged it, I would have been retired right now. I would have been happily doing something else, and instead, they have me for four more years,” the president continued.
Trump has repeatedly pointed out the irony of his exit from office in 2021 extending his political life, a theme touched on constantly during his 2024 rallies.

His Monday audience included several members of his administration, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
As noted, Trump’s second administration will preside over several major anniversaries and events, including the FIFA World Cup in 2026, the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, and the U.S.’s 250th birthday. He will have considerable say over the pomp and ceremonies of each event.
