Stephen A. Smith has branded Donald Trump a 'pain in the A **' since his return to the White House and teased a possible presidential bid in 2028.
The ESPN star has also sworn that he had defeated 'every candidate' and revealed what should be done to go to the office in a wide, exclusive interview with Dailymail.com In New Orleans for the Super Bowl.
A recent poll showed that Smith would get more support than different Big-admitted democratic presidential hopeful people in the next elections of the country.
The sports analyst was not removed from delivering daring political views in the aftermath of Trump's emphatic victory over Kamala Harris in the polls last November.
As a result of his Hot Takes, which have become viral, Smith has generated a lot of support for a potential presidential bid.
In recent weeks, Smith shocked Bill Maher's audience with his blunt judgment about why Trump won a second term in the White House – and admitted why he feels a 'damn fool' for supporting Harris.

The ESPN star -brand Donald Trump 'A pain in the A **' but agreed with part of his policy
And although he played the prospect that he was running in the office, Smith opened the door for a possible presidential run in 2028.
When asked what he will do in four years, Smith said: 'I will still exercise, but my voice will also not fade from the political landscape.
'You know, instead of talking about the fact that I am an elected officer or a runner for the President of the United States, what about me if I am someone with a voice as strong as Sean Hannity's, so Strong like that of Mark Levin, as strong as Rachel Maddow. What about that?
“Because that is more likely. However, I will admit, as I said, I don't feel like doing this, but going out looked at me and said, “Yo, man, we want you to run to the office,” and I had a legitimate shot for it To win presidency of the United States, I am not going to lie. I will think about that.
“But I have to have my money. I'm not going to the White House broke. I'm not going to do that. I have to have my money. I have to have my home. I have to have my financial situation fully taken care of. I am not worried if that happens for me.
'If they told me that I had a legitimate, bona fide shot to win the presidency of the United States of America, I would entertain it.
'Because the part I don't joke about is that I believe that I could beat every candidate on that poll. Every candidate they called them, from Kamala Harris directly to (Pete) buttigieg and to Tim Walz. I would beat them all. I believe that. I really do it. '
Smith's claims come after John McLaughlin – who was the most important poller of Trump – conducted a national investigation last month among 1,000 general election voters.
Smith has more support than different BIG-Note Democratic Presidential Hopeful, said a poll
The voters were asked who they would vote for if the Democratic Primary 2028 was held today
One of the questions he asked was: “Thinking ahead of the 2028 democratic primary elections for President, if those elections were held today among the following candidates, for whom would you vote?”
Two percent said they would choose ESPN star Smith. That is more than Beto O'Rourke – who ran for the nomination in 2020 – and JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois (both a percent).
It is remarkable that Smith has only questioned one percentage point behind Tim Walz – Vice -Presidential Pick by Harris – and Pennsylvania – Governor Josh Shapiro.
Harris was overwhelming the No. 1 choice, with a third of voters (33 percent) and said they would vote for the former Vice President – despite her defeat by Trump in November.
When asked what he made of Trump's first few weeks ago in the White House, Smith said he agreed with the president about the issue of transgender athletes in women's sports, but was 'suspected' about Elon Musk.
He added: 'Oh, he has been difficult in the A **. There is no doubt about it. I don't like some things I have seen.
'Don't get me wrong, today I agree with his executive order about the entire transgender problem with sport, because I don't believe that people born by men who have to compete with women to women have to compete with women's sports. But that does not mean that I do not want transgender people or someone from an LGBTQ+ community to be banned in any way.
“I am suspected of Elon Musk. He is not a chosen officer. He has not been confirmed. So to give him this kind of power, where he has access to the treasury, if you look at checks and gained access to people's financial portfolios, I got a problem with that.
Smith is convinced that he could defeat Democrat -Duo Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a competition
“However, we have had some crooks in our country for some time that rob the American people of their money. And if this guy will expose them, I am before.
'Do you see the difference? That is a perfect example of what I am talking about. I don't feel comfortable when he is that guy, but I feel at ease with what Donald Trump is trying to do when it comes to exposing the crooks that taxpayer have taken money.
'So again, there is a medium. It is not far left, far right, it is neither. It's somewhere in the middle. And I am proud of being the centerist and to get as close as possible to the center, because everything in life when you are talking about peace, there is never peace if one side or the other gets everything they want.
'There is peace when there is a compromise and everyone agrees to compromise. That is the kind of person I would be, whether I am a chosen officer or not. '
