Trump Jokes About Running for Fourth Presidential Term

On Friday, at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner held at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington DC, President Donald Trump humorously announced his intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States, stating it was a “scoop.” He wore a red "Trump 2028" cap while making these remarks in a clip shared on X by the account RapidResponse47. Trump claimed, “I won three times,” referring to the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, and described it as a “rigged election.” This dinner marked Trump’s first appearance at the annual event as president, having previously boycotted it during his first term and part of his second.

The event was rescheduled from an earlier date in April due to gunfire that led to the evacuation of guests, including Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. The suspect involved was arrested, and the dinner took place under heightened security measures.
