Trump jokes about 2028 White House run at rescheduled press dinner

US President Donald Trump spoke at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Friday, an event that was rescheduled after an alleged assassination attempt three months earlier. In his speech, Trump made a joke about running for president again in 2028, a third term that is prohibited by the US Constitution. The president's remarks were described as rambling at times. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is an annual gathering where journalists and politicians come together, often featuring a comedic speech from the president. This year's event was delayed due to security concerns following the alleged attempt on Trump's life. Trump used the platform to criticize what he called 'fake news' and to joke about his political future. The suggestion of a third term is notable because the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution limits presidents to two terms. Trump's comment was met with laughter and applause from the audience. The rescheduled dinner took place at a Washington hotel, marking a return to tradition after the interruption. No further details about the alleged assassination attempt were provided during the speech.
