Trump Jokes About Possible Third Term at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Analysed 25 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Washington, D.C., United States·Politics
Trump Jokes About Possible Third Term at White House Correspondents' DinnerPreviousNext

At the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, US President Donald Trump joked about serving a third presidential term, saying "the third time will be better yet," but quickly clarified he was "only kidding." The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two elected terms, a rule Trump acknowledged. He also humorously suggested the dinner might be named after him next year, referencing a proposal by a Paramount Skydance executive. The remarks were made in a light-hearted context without serious policy implications.
