Trump cracks jokes all night at WHCD and dons a 'Trump 2028' hat

The wrong reasons. But as I said before, a lot was learned from that. So much. So we've hit Iran very hard. Their Navy is gone. They're off. Air Force has gone. Two hundred and fifty jets no longer. One hundred and fifty nine boats. Good boats. In fact, I said, why the hell didn't we keep them? We could have used them. But one hundred and fifty nine. But all at the bottom of the sea. They have no radar. They have very few drones left, despite what you see. And everyone's in a well. They're going to set some things up, but they don't have much left. And by the way, they are talking to us right now. They'd love to make a deal. I don't think they're ready to. I don't think it's time yet, but I'm willing to listen. But they cannot have a nuclear weapon. But I didn't know if they were brave. If we don't want to see Washington, D.C. or any of our cities or Israel or, frankly, the Middle East destroyed with a nuclear weapon, because I know the power of nuclear weapons. I see it. I get to see it. We're not going to let that happen. So this is all about. We will not let them have a nuclear weapon. And they would use it. They would use it if they had it. She. Well, I'm not going to say this, but this one about that. She wasn't high up on her totem pole. Who the hell wrote that? She's bad news. I wanted to make sure I did. I'm in the White House. One man that we had who should be here. He turned Palestinian. This was a man who was 100 percent for Israel. One hundred percent. Chuck Schumer, crying Chuck. Remember, he cried at the airport over illegal immigrants. They were the fakest tears. There were people throwing water in his face. But now he's a proud, very proud Palestinian. In fact, I'm going to send him a beautiful Palestinian outfit tomorrow so he can greet Bibi Netanyahu when he comes to town next week, along with the mayor, who I'm sure would love to meet Bibi. They're not treating Bibi too well, but Chuck wanted to join us tonight, but he didn't want to be violating many parts of the Palestinian rules, regulations. And certainly he didn't want to violate Sharia law, his new founding. And all joking aside, I do think we need term limits in Congress. I think term limits are very important because I see what's happening. I see what's happening. I cannot believe it. But you people have no idea. President Xi, who's a man that I get along with very well, he was a hard no for the sale of TikTok. They all said he's a hard no. I said, well, let's call, put your group together. They put together billions, hundreds of billions of dollars. I called up President Xi. I said, President, these are American people. They're wonderful people. We'd love to see you approve the deal. And he goes, all right. That was it. It was done. And we sold TikTok. And he's a friend of mine. And he's not contributing to problems like other people contribute to problems. So we get along. And Bobby also suggested an appetizer featuring his favorite cut of mail. That was very beautiful. But this has not been an easy evening. All these awards. Great people. And that's a big statement. And that also this place is the really the largest group of Trump derangement syndrome people ever put together at one time, I suspect. Some of you are lucky that our last dinner was cut short because I had brought with me what would possibly have been. I'm telling you, I had I had something I was going to go after you. We are all doing good together. That's why tonight to show just how much I care about the press. And I want to save your ratings. I'm pleased to announce my intention to. And this is somewhat of a scoop. My intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States. I will be doing that. I will be having an official. In fact, I think I have one. I won three times. Now I'm going to do it again. Thank you. I'm going to do it should be. I'm getting very good at running for president. Now I won three times. Did very well the second time, by the way, the rigged election. But we'll have to talk about it. You know, it's interesting when you come back and you do a good job like we did and you don't care about it so much. But we do have to tighten up these elections because they really are in seriously bad shape. But on a serious note, I want to say once again, I just want to thank you all. It's been an interesting evening. I didn't really know what to expect. And it's far worse than I actually thought. But you want to know that. But I didn't know exactly what to expect. And I've made a lot of friends tonight. I've made a lot of good friends and I probably made some enemies also.
