At a recent White House Correspondents’ dinner, Donald Trump lightheartedly mentioned the idea of running for a third term, even playfully sporting a ‘Trump 2028’ campaign cap. The 80-year-old US president, currently in his second term, acknowledged the constitutional limit of two terms but humorously stated at the event that he had won three times and hinted at running again, emphasizing his growing expertise in presidential campaigns.

Trump’s remarks included references to his previous successes and alluded to the possibility of a third term, albeit in a jesting manner. While discussing the concept of serving beyond the conventional two terms, he mentioned potential methods and expressed gratitude for the support he had received. Despite his playful banter about multiple terms, Trump clarified that his comments were intended as humor for the media.

The dinner, which was rescheduled due to security concerns, took place with heightened security measures at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC. During the event, Trump made light of a past incident, joking about a shooting scare and amusingly recounting pop star Nicki Minaj’s reaction to the commotion. He also took the opportunity to criticize the media, referring to them as suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and making predictions about their future without him in office.

Additionally, Trump humorously acknowledged reporters from The Wall Street Journal who had covered the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a topic that led to his previous legal actions against the media. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, he graciously acknowledged their work and engaged with the award recipients, showcasing a lighter side amidst the evening’s events.
