Trump addresses journalists at Correspondents' dinner

US President Donald Trump addresses a roomful of journalists at a correspondents' dinner rescheduled from April after a shooting upended the first edition.

Trump jokes about running for a third term, nodding to his long-held allegations of election fraud before donning a red cap that read "Trump 2028" as he wraps up his speech.

US President Donald Trump: "Now this is somewhat of a scoop: my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States. I'll be doing that, I'll be having an official- in fact I think I have, I have I won three times, and now i'm going to do it again. Thank you. I'm going to do it, It should be easy. I'm getting very good at running for president. I won three times and did very well the second time, by the way; it's a rigged election but we don't have to talk about it."

The rescheduled dinner took place in the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria hotel, a smaller venue that held only about 700 people.

The new dinner comes during a time of increasing tension between the media and a president who, in his second term, has tried to exert pressure on media outlets he is unhappy with in a variety of ways.

The pressure has ranged from sanctions against members of the White House press corps to regulatory actions through the Federal Communications Commission to outright lawsuits.
