Speaking at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner—moved after a security scare outside the venue—President Donald Trump joked about running for a third term before clarifying he was “only kidding.” Toward the end of his remarks, he donned a “Trump 2028” cap and quipped that next year’s dinner might be renamed after him, citing a suggestion from Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison. The U.S. Constitution’s 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, a limit Trump has repeatedly hinted at challenging during his current second term.
