This is the third time the business mogul turned politician has tried to rule the US with him saying it may also be his last if he is unsuccessful.

Back in 2016, Trump managed to fend off Hillary Clinton in a controversial battle for presidential supremacy.

But the billionaire came up short when he tried to remain in Washington in 2020 as current leader Joe Biden beat him at the polls.

The two were set to battle it out once again at the end of this year with Trump a hot favorite to take back his presidential title.

But Biden decided to step down from the race in July as his vice president Kamala Harris swooped in and took the fight to Trump.

Polls have the pair in a close fight with voters yet to decide on clear front runner leaving Trump's future in politics on a knife edge.

He was asked by Full Disclosure on his plans for 2028 should he not return to office this winter with the Republican saying a loss is more than likely the final nail in the coffin.

When questioned if he thinks he would run again Trump replied with: "No, I don't. I think that will be it."

If he was to change his mind and take on a fourth campaign then he would officially become the oldest president in US history should he be successful.

Joe Biden at 81 currently holds that honour and was blasted by Trump throughout the campaign for his senile behavior.

But no candidate has a lead of more than two percentage points, on average, in any of the battlegrounds, per RCP.

How to cast your ballot?

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will be fighting for every vote as Election Day nears. But Americans don't have to wait until November 5 to cast their verdict on who they want to be the next president.

Not everyone can vote in-person at polling locations across the country.

Americans can vote via absentee ballots or can complete mail-in ballots.

Most states offer absentee ballots, but sometimes voters will have to provide a reason why they need one.

Americans who are serving in the military are among those who can vote by absentee.

Voters who physically cannot make it to their local polling station can also cast ballots by absentee.

Some states that offer mail-in voting automatically send out ballots to registered voters.
