Trump jokes he ‘officially’ intends to run for a 'fourth' presidential term

Trump mixed jokes and criticism as the dinner returned under heightened security after an April shooting disrupted the original event.

  • On Friday, July 24, 2026, President Donald Trump attended the rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria wearing a red "Trump 2028" cap and joked about running for a fourth presidential term.
  • The White House Correspondents Association rescheduled the gala following an April security breach when Cole Allen allegedly attempted to bypass a Secret Service checkpoint, prompting heightened security measures.
  • During his hour-long address, Trump criticized the press and political rivals while claiming he won the 2020 election against President Joe Biden, stating, "I won three times, now I'm going to do it again."
  • Trump's remarks renewed questions about the Constitution's 22nd Amendment, which bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, directly conflicting with his stated ambitions.
  • The remarks align with Trump's sustained rhetorical strategy of suggesting he might seek additional terms; his public speculation on this issue predates the dinner announcement by months.
