Trump Declares Third, Fourth White House Term ‘Better,’ Flaunts ‘Trump 2028’ Cap

• President Donald Trump sparked fresh political speculation after joking about seeking a third—and even a fourth—term in office while unveiling a “Trump 2028” cap during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible third presidential bid after joking about seeking another term while displaying a “Trump 2028” baseball cap during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Speaking to journalists at the rescheduled event on Friday, Trump joked about extending his time in office.

“Just like my presidency, the second time is always better. And the third time is better yet,” he said before quickly adding, “I’m only kidding.”

Later in his remarks, Trump revived the joke by pulling out a red Trump 2028 cap and telling the audience he was “pleased to announce” his intention to run for a fourth term.

“…This is somewhat of a scoop – run for a fourth term as president of the United States,” he said jokingly before tossing the cap into the crowd.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is an annual event where U.S. presidents traditionally deliver humorous speeches, often poking fun at themselves, the media and politics.

Although the U.S. Constitution limits presidents to two elected terms under the 22nd Amendment, some of Trump’s supporters have argued that legal loopholes could theoretically allow him to return to office, including a scenario where he runs as vice president before later assuming the presidency. Constitutional scholars broadly dispute that interpretation.

The event was originally scheduled for April but was postponed after a gunman attempted to breach security near the venue.

It also featured a performance by Israeli-American magician Oz Pearlman and a tribute to a U.S. Secret Service agent involved in stopping the suspected attacker.

During the event, Secret Service Director Sean Curran defended the agency’s response to the April security incident, saying the protective system worked as intended while warning that threats against senior U.S. officials remain at unprecedented levels.
