Former White House chief of staff and Democratic politician Rahm Emanuel teased a potential presidential bid on ABC’s “The View” Wednesday.

During his appearance on “The View,” Emanuel discussed topics that included President Trump’s presidency and Democrats’ election chances.

“Everybody in this audience, they just want one thing, their kids to have a shot,” Emanuel said. “And the problem is Washington’s giving them the shaft. And that is wrong.”

Following his comments, multiple people remarked that Emanuel came off “presidential.”

In his response, Emanuel said he was “in training,” adding, “I don’t know if I’ll make the Olympics.”

Emanuel also said during his Wednesday “The View” appearance that he refused bribes from the Saudi government amid travel to the country on a state visit with former President Obama.

“When I went to Saudi Arabia with President Obama, first trip, first thing. We’re at the king’s ranch for his horses,” Emanuel said Wednesday.

“And let me just say, the horses look better than section eight public housing in America. You get there and walk in the room and there was an ostrich briefcase. I open it up, diamond necklaces, earrings, bracelets. And I took a photo and I sent it to my wife Amy and I said, not happening,” he added.

Emanuel’s comments came amid recent controversy over Trump’s acceptance of a jet from Qatar.

“The White House has a for sale sign on the front lawn,” Emanuel said of the acceptance Wednesday.
