At the White House Correspondents’ dinner, Donald Trump made a playful remark about running for a third term and wore a ‘Trump 2028’ hat. The 80-year-old US president, currently in his second term, acknowledged the constitutional limit of two terms but humorously hinted at a potential third run during the event. He joked about his past election victories and teased about running again, emphasizing that his presidency had improved over time. While discussing the concept of serving a third term in a previous interview, Trump mentioned the possibility, albeit in a light-hearted manner, and later clarified that his statements were intended as jests for the media.
The dinner, which took place amid heightened security at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, had been rescheduled following an alleged assassination attempt at the original venue. Trump addressed the incident, highlighting the chaos caused by gunshots and humorously mentioning pop star Nicki Minaj’s unexpected reaction. Additionally, he took a swipe at the media, labeling them as suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and making predictions about their future when he leaves office.
During the event, Trump also interacted with reporters from The Wall Street Journal who had received awards for their coverage of a scandal that led to a previous legal dispute with the president. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Trump smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the award recipients, acknowledging the challenging nature of their work.
