“I don’t think so. And look, at a certain point, everyone sort of leaves, you have to leave. I’m sort of just staying, I’m like a ship — just keep going,” he joked.

“But Sarah loves this job, and she’s announced not with me. I read the same report. Somebody put it out,  I think it was CBS, which she said is a false report. It’s fake news. But, at some point, I’m sure she will leave, like everybody leaves, and we’ll get somebody else. Sarah has done a fantastic job. I don’t think she’s leaving. In fact, she was very insulted that they came out and said that. So, I don’t think she’s leaving.”

Trump also said that Sanders was a “very talented person.”
