President-elect Donald Trump prefers not to call his election victory "a comeback," and said his second White House term could lead to a "Trump dynasty."
Trump, named Time's 2024 Person of the Year on Thursday, recently met with magazine staff members for an exclusive wide-ranging interview, which included questions about his winning campaign.
"I don't view it as a comeback," Trump said. "I know it's considered that. I should allow it to be that, and I will allow it to be that. But, you know, come back from what? I've always been here, you know."
He was asked if there will be a Trump dynasty.
"I think there could be, yeah," said the president-elect, who cited his sons and daughter as well as his daughter-in-law Lara Trump as future politicians.
"I think he'd [Don Jr.] do well, especially in certain areas. I think he'd do very well. I think he's a very capable guy. Eric is very capable, and a very different type. Lara. You look at some of these people. Ivanka would be, if she wanted to be, would be a superstar in politics."
Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs said we're "living in the age of Trump."
"On the cusp of his second presidency, all of us — from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics — are living in the Age of Trump," Jacobs wrote. "[He] has remade American politics in the process.
"For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world, Donald Trump is TIME's 2024 Person of the Year."
