During his appearance at the “Generation Next” White House forum with millennials on Thursday, President Donald Trump said he would give himself some…interesting advice if he could speak to his younger self.

Trump was speaking with Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk when he was asked what advice he would’ve given to himself at the age of 25. His answer came without hesitation:

“Don’t run for president.”

From there, Trump grumbled about how he used to get “great publicity” as a businessman, but then that all changed when the “fake news” media started scrutinizing him after he entered politics. He also spoke of how it was an “achievement” of his for exposing the “dishonest” press.
