Trump dons 'Trump 2028' hat, jokes about fourth term at WHCA dinner

President Donald Trump joked about seeking another term in office as he donned a "Trump 2028" hat during the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner. "I'm pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States," he said, before joking that he had "won three times" and was "getting very good at running for president."

Mocking the Media

Trump also mocked the media, saying he believed some journalists "don't like" him and that he receives "93% negative publicity." He called the gathering "the largest group of Trump derangement syndrome people ever put together at one time." Outgoing WHCA President Weijia Jiang opened the event by vowing that journalists would not be intimidated by violence.

Addressing Iran

Trump addressed Iran, claiming that the US military had dismantled "250 jets" and "159 boats" belonging to Iran. He said Iran was speaking with the US and would like to reach a deal, but added: "I don't think they're ready to. I don't think it's time yet. But I'm willing to listen, but they cannot have a nuclear weapon."
