Donald Trump has revealed he wants Meghan Markle to run for president in 2024 because it will help make his decision on his own future.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday night, Trump was asked what his take was on Meghan meeting with Democrat operatives and a possible run.
He replied: ‘Well I hope that happens because if that happened I think I’d have an even stronger feeling toward running.’
Trump added: ‘I’m not a fan of hers. I think that what she talks about the Royal family and the Queen, and I happen to think, I know the Queen as you know, I met with the Queen and I think the Queen is a tremendous person and I am not a fan of Meghan.

Trump remained non-committal about seeking to recapture the presidency following his one term in office.
‘Based on every poll, they want me to run again,’ he said. ‘But we’re going to take a look and we’ll see.’
Also in his wide-ranging interview, Trump encouraged his Republican supporters – one of the main groups resistant to Covid-19 vaccines – to get their shots.
‘I would recommend it,’ Trump said. ‘I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly.
‘It’s a great vaccine, it’s a safe vaccine and it’s something that works.’

This was Trump’s most explicit endorsement for the national mass vaccination campaign since he left office in January.
All other living former presidents, including Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush, have delivered high profile public service announcements.
But Trump has largely been silent while the man who defeated him, President Joe Biden, masterminds the vaccine rollout.
Polls show that Republican men, who are overwhelmingly supporters of Trump and his ‘Make America Great Again’ or MAGA platform, are the leading vaccine skeptics.
