Donald Trump has once again appeared to hint at a potential 2024 presidential campaign.

In a sit-down interview with GB News, the former president spoke to British politician and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage when he teased a White House run.

Trump said his supporters would be "very happy" when he eventually makes an announcement.

Farage, a former member of the European parliament, asked Trump why he would "give up an amazing life" and consider reentering politics, which Farage described as "absolute hell."

Watch Trump tease a potential 2024 run:

"If you love the country, you have no choice," Trump said. "It's not a question ... this is a wonderful, beautiful life—but I like that too because I was helping people. That's why I did it."

"And I think you'll be happy in the future, too," the former president added.

In May, the former president said his supporters would be "very, very happy" when he makes "a certain announcement" and he has returned to such language many times, promising his supporters will be pleased by his decision.

Trump has suggested he could make an announcement after the 2022 midterm elections where he has endorsed several Republican candidates, though the first presidential primaries do not take place until early 2024.

"I think if I run, I'll get it," Trump said, citing his approval rating among Republicans. "If I decide to run, I'll get it easily," he said, adding: "Most people said if I run, they won't run against me."

It comes as the ex-POTUS visited Iowa in October, for a campaign-style rally at Iowa State Fairgrounds in the capital Des Moines.

Despite not having officially announced his candidacy yet, Trump teased a future campaign's potential political slogan, per The Times.

"Make America Great Again, Again," he told the crowd. "Because we already did it."

This refers to the former president's 2016 campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again," which is often seen on the iconic red hats of his supporters.

Per The Times, the new slogan, he said, is different from his 2020 slogan, "Keep America Great," because "America's not great now."

Back in March, he sat down for an interview with daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who asked if his supporters would see him running for office again in the future.

Trump replied: "You do have hope, that I can tell you, you do have hope. We love our country, this country, we all owe a lot to our country, but now we have to help our country."
