Kim Kardashian West isn’t considering a run for political office, but she’s also not ruling one out.

“Oh, I don’t think that’s even on my mind,” Kardashian told CNN’s Van Jones in a clip released Friday evening.

“I know,” Kardashian said when Jones mentioned the fact that Trump is in the White House. “That’s why Kanye loves him. The idea that anything could happen.”

“I guess never say never,” she said of a potential political future. “But that’s not going to be like, ‘Kim’s running,’ that’s not where I am.”

For now, Kardashian wants to help “starting one person at a time,” which includes working with a president with whom she doesn’t agree with on everything.

“If more people would just put their personal feelings aside and talk about really important issues that have to be discussed, then so much more could get done,” said Kardashian.

Earlier this month, Kardashian West met with President Trump to ask for the release of 62-year-old Alice Johnson, then serving a life sentence for nonviolent drug-related charges. Trump not only granted the pardon, but said that Johnson should thank Kardashian because otherwise, he “wouldn’t have known about it.” (RELATED: Trump Says Alice Johnson Should ‘Thank Kim’ Kardashian For Jail Release, Not Him [VIDEO])

“She’s in there for 22 years. She’s got another 20 years to serve,” Trump said on a “Fox & Friends” appearance on Friday. “And you’ve got drug dealers that are doing big stuff and they get a two-month sentence. It was just unfair. And I thought it was a beautiful scene when that woman left prison and ran over to … a couple of big strong guys, some wonderful women. They were all hugging and kissing. Everyone’s crying. To me, that was a beautiful scene.”

“She thanked me, but you know, thank Kim,” said Trump. “Because I wouldn’t have known about it.” (RELATED: Kim Kardashian Breaks Silence On Meeting With Trump)
