WASHINGTON D.C February 4, 2026 – In a recent interview clip shared by the official White House Rapid Response account (@RapidResponse47), President Donald Trump addressed a bold question from NBC about his place in presidential history.
When asked if future generations would discuss him alongside towering figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, President Trump responded humbly yet confidently.
“Well, all I know is this, it’s such an honor… everyone’s screaming, ‘GOAT! GOAT!’… I hope they’re right—not for me, but for the country,” the President said.
The exchange, captured in a short video clip posted early Thursday, highlights Trump’s characteristic blend of modesty and focus on national impact. The term “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) has become a recurring chant at his rallies and among supporters, reflecting strong enthusiasm for his America First policies during his current term.
The White House Rapid Response team shared the moment to underscore the President’s dedication to the country over personal acclaim. The post quickly gained traction, amassing thousands of likes, reposts, and views within hours, with many supporters echoing the sentiment that Trump could rank among the nation’s most consequential leaders.
Critics, however, offered contrasting views in replies, arguing that historical greatness is determined by long-term legacy rather than contemporary crowds or self-assessment.
The clip appears to stem from an NBC interview segment, though full context of the conversation was not detailed in the shared post. President Trump’s second non-consecutive term continues to generate polarized reactions, with discussions of his historical ranking likely to persist as his administration advances its agenda.
This moment adds to ongoing debates about presidential legacies in a deeply divided political landscape.
