US President Donald Trump returned to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, three months after the original event was cancelled following an assassination attempt. Speaking before journalists, lawmakers, and senior officials, Trump reflected on the attack, joked about running for another term, and once again criticized the media and his political opponents.

During his speech, Trump held up a "Trump 2028" cap, joked about seeking a third and even fourth term despite constitutional limits, and mocked what he described as "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The event was held under heightened security with Secret Service, National Guard, and police presence around the venue.

Trump returns to White House Correspondents' Dinner | Jokes about 2028, mocks media & third term

US President Donald Trump on Monday (Oct 27) ruled out running for vice president in the 2028 US elections. This comes as his supporters suggested that Trump can do so as a roundabout way to score another term in the White House. Turning down the unorthodox approach, Trump, during an exchange with the press aboard Air Force One, during the last leg of his Asia tour, said that while he'll be "allowed to do that", the approach was "too cute" for his liking. Trump's statement comes on the heels of a controversial statement by Trump's former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, where he claimed that the POTUS was "gonna get a third term", insisting that "people just ought to get accommodated with that". Coyly, Banner said that at the "appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is," while insisting, "there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in '28."Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/steve-bannon-insists-trump-needs-one-more-term-hints-at-secret-plan-for-trump-2028-comeback-1761288412586">Steve Bannon insists Trump 'needs one more term,' hints at secret plan for 'Trump 2028' comeback</a><h2>Becoming VP 'too cute'?</h2>Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump insisted that "I’d be allowed to" become the VP as per the US Constitution.

<h2>What is the VP way to becoming the US president?</h2>In recent days, Trump's followers have suggested that one way for Trump to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, which sets a two-term limit for the president, would be to stand as the vice president. They suggest that, meanwhile, another candidate could be the President, only to resign, making way for Trump to assume the presidency.&nbsp;&nbsp;

US President Donald Trump has ruled out becoming vice president in 2028, calling the idea “too cute.” Supporters had floated it as a loophole to secure him a third term, but Trump said it “wouldn’t be right.” He added, though, that he’d “love to be president again”.
