'I think our country is dead': Trump explains why he's running for president again

Former President Donald Trump did not hold back when he was asked about why he was eager to return to the Oval Office in 2024, saying, "I think our country is dead." 

Fox News's Sean Hannity pointed out that since President Joe Biden took office, Trump had been living a "great life" and questioned why the former president would give it all up to make this next presidential run. Trump, after pointing out that his post-presidential life had been marred by "being investigated by every prosecutor in America," responded earnestly.

"I think our country is dead. We're a failing nation, and I think we're going to fail completely. We're a nation in decline. I use the term. It's a horrible term," Trump said on Hannity Tuesday night. 

Trump has been vocal about where he thinks Biden has gone wrong in his presidency, including with the war in Ukraine. Trump repeated his statement that if he were president right now, he could end the war "in 24 hours," but it could only be done "from the presidential seat."
