Trump jokes again, says he will win US presidency again

During the White House Correspondents' Dinner, former U.S. President Donald Trump revisited his recurring jest about seeking a fourth term in 2028. Trump humorously declared his intention to compete for another presidential term, stating, "I won three times and I will do it again." He then donned a red cap, a signature element of his past campaigns, emblazoned with the year 2028.

This marks at least the second time this week Trump has made such a joke during public appearances. The former president's remarks are a sarcastic nod to a potential fourth term, despite the U.S. Constitution limiting presidents to two terms. Trump has consistently refused to concede his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election, frequently alleging unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud.

The joke served as the culmination of a more than 70-minute speech delivered by the Republican leader. This year's dinner was notably held at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, a venue historically associated with the Trump family, rather than its traditional location at the Washington Hilton.

Trump's repeated allusions to a future presidential run, framed as jokes, continue to fuel speculation about his political ambitions. The context of the speech, delivered at a venue with personal ties to his business dealings, adds another layer to his public persona and political messaging.
