Yahoo News Donald Trump wants Hillary Clinton to run against him in 2020
Donald Trump has said he wants to run against Hillary Clinton again in 2020.
Mr Trump defied all the odds to stunningly defeat Mrs Clinton in last year’s US election and become President of the United States.
He tweeted on Wednesday that he was asked whether his beaten opponent intended to run again in the 2020 US election.
He said: “I was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020?
He added his answer was: "I hope so!"

The US President defied pollsters, analysts and even leaders of his own Republican Party to pass the finishing line of 270 electoral college votes needed to beat Mrs Clinton last November.
However for some his victory was tainted by the fact he failed to win the popular vote, with Mrs Clinton securing almost 3 million more votes than him.
The 69-year-old is in the UK after publishing her new book, What Happened, and told Andrew Marr on Sunday that the vote to leave the EU, and specifically the false claims made by Leave campaigners, were a forerunner to her defeat in last year’s US election.
Her election defeat came just months after the Brexit vote stunned Britain.
Mrs Clinton accused the likes of Nigel Farage of giving "fabricated" information to voters during the referendum and raised the role of data mining and analysis company Cambridge Analytica.
An investigation was launched by the Information Commissioner's Office into the firm after complaints the Leave.EU campaign, backed by Mr Farage, had not declared its role in its campaign.
Mrs Clinton said: "Looking at the Brexit vote now, it was a precursor to some extent of what happened to us in the United States.
“Whatever the role Cambridge Analytica played for example. But the amount of fabricated, false information that your voters were given by the Leave campaign."
She added: "You had, you know, Mr Farage campaigning for Trump and the like.
“You know, the big lie is a very potent tool, and we've somewhat kept it at bay in western democracies, partly because of the freedom of the press.
