While playing a round of golf, Donald Trump declared he'll be the 47th President of the United States.
Trump made the statement while teeing off his golf ball, adding to speculation that he would be making a run against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
The video was posted today, January 26, showing panoramic views of the golf course, with Trump and the camera man joking in the background.
The video, captioned '45th President - Donald J. #Trump / 47th President - Donald J. Trump', opens with an unidentified man saying 'first on tee, 45th president of the United States'.

Trump then tees up his golf ball and adds '45th and 47th', to which the cameraman then responds '47th, yes, love that', while others applauded in the background.
This isn't the first time that Trump has hinted at making a run for president in 2024. At a rally in Arizona on January 16, Trump broached the topic of another presidential run.
While the rally was intended to be a response to the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riots, it became what some outlets are calling a 'soft launch' for Trump's 2024 campaign.

Trump briefly discussed the riots an hour into his speech, suggesting that the FBI planned people in the crowd that day to incite a riot - a claim that is unfounded. He then added that 'the real insurrection took place on election day, November 3'.
Prior to this, Trump addressed claims of a second run during a December 2021 interview with Candice Owens from The Daily Wire, where he said he was 'absolutely enthused' and looking 'forward to doing an announcement at the right time'.
'It’s very early, but I think people are going to be very, very happy … when I make a certain announcement', he added.
'For campaign finance reasons, you really can’t do it too early because it becomes a whole different thing. Otherwise, I’d give you an answer that I think you’d be very happy with. So we are looking at this very, very seriously'.
