U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to seek a third term in 2028 during the White House Correspondents' dinner, while also targeting journalists and basketball star LeBron James.

U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his plan to seek a third presidential term in 2028 during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Wearing a red hat reading "Trump 2028," Trump asserted that he intended to run again, claiming he had already won three elections. During his speech, Trump also targeted CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins, dismissing a journalism award she received as a "farce" and commenting on her demeanor.

Separately, in Oval Office comments, Trump weighed in on the debate between basketball icons Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Favoring Jordan, Trump criticized James, suggesting the NBA star might be "racist" or simply disliked him, adding that he only appreciates those who support him.

Constitutional experts note that the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any individual from being elected president more than twice.
