Trump jokes about 2028, attacks foes at dinner

During a live CNN broadcast, the anchor reported that Trump talked about his ballroom, declared his intention to run for president again — a joke where Trump 2028 had to sort of joke with the crowd — and took aim at perceived enemies, including singers, other politicians, and multiple journalists.

Earlier in the broadcast, the anchor noted that Trump lobbed insults and attacked familiar foes during lengthy remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Friday night. The event was rescheduled after a shooting incident in April and saw tighter security along with a much smaller guest list. The president appeared to doze off periodically while some of the awards were presented to people who had reported negative things about him, the anchor said, before delivering a speech that ran for an hour and four minutes.

Whether the 2028 line was pure comedy or a trial balloon went unanswered in the brief.
