Donald Trump has announced he will run for president in 2028 during a rambling speech to the Washington press corps.
Trump was speaking at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when he appeared to make the announcement.
I won three times, now I’m gonna do it again,” he said, while putting on a cap that read “Trump 2028″.
“I’m gonna do it again. It should be easy.”
He went on to add that he won in 2020 but the election was rigged.
The 80-year-old was met with a smattering of applause, but even he did not seem excited by the moment.
Over the dead body of every patriot that stands for the Constitution, which reads in pertinent part:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
-22nd Amendment
*Edit: Here’s the video of his announcement:

He seem like he’s just joking to you?
From that website…
wtf? plz, no. That idea needs to be shot down right now.
2016, Obama was president: Trump thinks that there were no problems with the elections.
2018, Trump was president: Trump doubts the legitimacy of the midterm elections
2020, Trump was president: Trump thinks that the elections were rigged.
2022, Biden was president: Trump has no complaints about the elections and calls it a “great night”.
2024, Biden was president: Trump does not doubt the legitimacy of the elections.
2026, Trump is president: Trump thinks that the midterm elections are going to be rigged.
I think that I am starting to see a pattern forming.
Trump absolutely thinks there were over 3 million illegal votes in 2016 and the reason he didn’t win the popular vote. While president he didn’t demand or even mention having an investigation into what would have been the largest democratic voting fraud case in world history. There should have been thousands of arrests to pull off 3+ million illegal votes.
Only two outcomes.
- He made it up on the spot because he hates to lose anything.
- He was right but also extremely incompetent in not calling for an investigation and there were somehow no whistle blowers nor any evidence at all and he almost never talks about it later.
It is a common issue. The person who is loudly making the accusations is the often responsible for the crime. I have seen this several times at restaurants and in retail. The person pointing fingers is often the culprit.
it’s a stark reminder that the constitution is not immutable. amendments are changes, and they may seem “hard to do” but with this regime and supreme court, they won’t stop until they pretend they did this legally. remember: nazis were legal.
Yeah but what mechanism could they possibly use to change term limits or mute article 5 of the Constitution (2/3 to call, 3/4 to ratify)?
The Supreme Could could declare it a political question, and/or is not self enforcing and would require an act of Congress to Implement.
This is a view that a majority subscribed to in Trump V Anderson regarding the 14th amendment.
“You’ve made your ruling, let’s see you enforce it”
Good Lord. If trump looked any more like roadkill, he’d have to fight to keep RFK Jr from trying to eat him. He looks like absolute dogshit. I didn’t think it was possible for somebody to look worse than Steve Bannon, and to be fair it’s really fucking close, but trump does manage to look like a slightly worse, bloated corpse here.
But he’s also a shitty president and a shitty person. Fuck trump. I can’t wait to open my bottle of bourbon when it happens.
It’s official. He’s going for the Putin-esque “democracy”…a dictatorship where you beat the crap out of people at the polls for voting opposition.
Okay, in context this headline and, really, the entire article seem pretty batshit. Trump did not announce a re-election bid. He told a string of awful scripted jokes that concluded with his dumb hat.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/24/white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump-washington
The speech included a handful of scripted jokes, one at the expense of Robert F Kennedy Jr, his health secretary who he quipped had personally run over the cow that became the evening’s “very delicious beef tenderloin”. Kennedy has championed the health benefits of beef tallow and animal protein.
Trump also mocked the weight of Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor, and Jerry Nadler, the New York congressman, imagining the two wrestling over a piece of cheesecake. He ridiculed the appearance of his critics, including Bruce Springsteen who he said “looks like hell” and took aim at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who had been honored earlier for her White House coverage, saying she does not smile enough. Trump said he “hated” Adam Schiff, a Democratic California senator, and one of his most prominent congressional critics, while mocking the size of his head and neck.
At one point, after a joke about term limits fell flat, Trump broke the fourth wall, asking the audience whether anyone understood “this whole freakin stupid speech that they wrote”.
Trump ended his remarks with a joke that landed awkwardly, declaring that he planned to run and win a fourth election – a reference both to his false claim he won the 2020 election and to his repeated suggestion that he could seek a third term, despite the constitution’s two-term limit.
It’s always a “joke” until it isn’t. This is textbook gas lighting, and its a documented tactic from him and abusers like him.
I think the reason no one’s reporting it is that it just isn’t a story. Trump makes comments like this all the time. There’s a difference between him making them and him actually announcing a re-election bid, which is the claim in the headline and article. Why would he even announce at the White House Correspondents Dinner while he’s bombing on stage? It just makes no sense. This reporting is bad.
A common excuse of abusers and gas lighters is that they “were only joking”.
I don’t disagree with you.
But that has no bearing on whether this story is true. The claim is that he has “announced a re-election bid.” He hasn’t. And you know this – your recent comments are about him cloaking his intent or desire in feigned humour. I don’t disagree that he’s doing that. But, he does not need to do that if he has actually announced a re-election bid.

I think he (on a subconscious level) knows this would basically sign his death warrant if he officially did it cold turkey like you say would show it was real. That’s probably why he did it like this: to ease his way into doing it.
To use a relevant metaphor: raping children right away doesn’t work. They’re dry and scared. You gotta lube up first. This was him opening the lube bottle.
Jesus, dude.
Which makes it no different than his recent comments:
Donald Trump Fuels Third-Term Speculation After Saying He’d Like To Be ‘Next President’ (yesterday)
Donald Trump Mocked Over Word Flub After Joking About Running for Third Term as President (July 22)
Trump blends economic message with third-term tease in Pa. (June 23)
Also, that’s a gross metaphor.

So the gas lighting has been going on for a bit?
Also, that’s a gross metaphor.
Gross? We literally have someone who actually did that stuff sitting in the oval right this second. So, if anything, its a presidential metaphor.
There was little laughter in the room as the president’s speech took on a harder edge. Not many people chuckled when he compared the “really beat-up faces” of UFC fighters with those of Bette Midler, Jane Fonda and Bruce Springsteen.
Mr. Trump seemed to realize he was losing the room. After a joke he told about the gerontocracy on Capitol Hill bombed, he said: “That was actually the only thing I thought was good in this whole fricking stupid speech. It was the only good one, and that went down with not exactly great laughter.”
He threw his arms up in exasperation and people started to laugh again.
As his speech reached its conclusion, he pulled out a hat and with a theatrical flourish plopped it on his head. It said, “Trump 2028.” Some clapped. Others laughed. Most of the reporters just stared straight ahead.
If I could trust the system to actually enforce the Constitution, I’d say bring it on. The 22nd amendment never prohibits running when you’re ineligible to be elected. I’d actually love to see him run, “win”, and then have to watch his opponent get sworn in because he’s not eligible.
IF I could actually trust that the Constitution would be enforced.
Wait, that’s illegal
Oh damn its illegal?
Clearly the God Emperor would never do anything illegal.
Everything before this was fine, but I have to draw the line somewhere! /s
According to the supreme everything he does is legal now
Then I hope you fuckers vote for Obama
I don’t think he would run
I don’t either. Personally I think the right-wing nuts would take shots at him

Obama has the chance to do the funniest thing ever!
This is my theory: 1. Trump will try to declare a national emergency at the end of September or early October in order to stop the midterms from happening due to the ongoing “conflict” with Iran or any other geopolitical situation that he has caused himself. 2. The midterms will still take place, although it will be heavily scrutinized by the right with the possibility of violence toward people on the left on election day. 3. The midterms will heavily favor the Democrats leading to a total wipeout for Republicans in all states as a result the Republicans will cry foul and that they were cheated, causing immediate January 6 style riots all over the country and possibly even the capital again. 4. Regardless of the results of the midterms, Trump will use their results too justify him running in 2028 and at the beginning of next year he will do everything in his power to get the Supreme Court and anybody else to stand behind his presidential run and next summer, he will immediately pivot into campaigning. 5. While I do believe it is over for Trump and the Republicans, there’s always that small what if. If he manages to stay alive until 2028 I have that saddening feeling that there is a very good possibility he could win again. I will happily eat my own words on all of this, after it’s just a theory…stay safe and informed everyone.
Treason.

I suppose I should go renew my passport before it’s too late
new passports have trumps face on it
“The anniversary passports will be available only in person at the Washington Passport Agency for American citizens applying for a new identification document, while supplies last, according to the State Department.”
Imagine being so deep into the cult that you’d want this gasbag’s face on your passport.
🤮🤢
Small subset issued out of DC offices
they’re gonna claim “term” means something longer than 4 years; biden got in illegally; therefore trump would still be in his first term.
