Trump jokes about media, hints at 2028 run at correspondents' dinner
President Donald Trump delivered a 76-minute speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner, three months after a shooting forced its postponement.
Trump mocked journalists, political rivals including “Barack Hussein Obama” and Rep. Ilhan Omar, and teased a third term by donning a “Trump 2028” cap.
He referred to the April incident as “the attempted mass murder” and said the show must go on.
The speech included praise for some journalists and insults about public figures’ weight and intellect, with the audience reaction cooling as jokes piled up.
Trump’s return marked a notable moment in his adversarial relationship with the media, having attacked, sued, and barred some reporters from events.
