U.S. President Donald Trump joked that he intends to run for a fourth presidential term while speaking late July 24 at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C., according to BlockBeats. Near the end of his remarks at the Waldorf hotel, Trump put on a red “Trump 2028” hat and said he was “happy to announce” that he planned to seek a fourth term, calling it an “exclusive.” He then added that it “should be easy” because he has become increasingly good at running for president.
During the same stretch of remarks, Trump repeated his claim that he actually won the 2020 election. Media reports specifically noted that he did not win, adding a clarification to that false statement. The dinner had originally been scheduled for April 25 but was postponed after an attack incident. Under the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a president can be elected no more than twice. Trump is currently serving his second term, which is also the last one permitted under the Constitution, meaning he is not legally eligible in theory to run for a “fourth term.”
According to BlockBeats, U.S. President Donald Trump joked late on July 24 local time that he plans to run for a fourth presidential term while attending the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Waldorf hotel in Washington, D.C. The event had originally been set for April 25 but was delayed until now following an attack incident.
Near the end of his speech, Trump put on a red “Trump 2028” hat and said, “I’m happy to announce my intention — this counts as an exclusive — I’m going to run for a fourth term as president of the United States, and I will do it.” He then added, “It should be easy. I’m getting better and better at running for president now.”
In the same portion of the speech, Trump repeated his claim that he actually won the 2020 election. Media reports later made a point of stating that “he did not win,” adding a direct correction to the false claim.
Under the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a president may be elected no more than twice. Trump is now serving his second term, which is also the last one allowed under the Constitution, so he is not legally eligible in theory to seek a “fourth term.”
