OP link seems to be a real news site, but 1) it’s a video, no full article, and 2) other news sites are saying Trump was making a joke. I don’t agree with Trump “joking” about it, but OP headline seems too certain in the opposite direction. Perhaps “teases” 2028 run would be a far better headline.

> Trump lashes out at 'fake news' and jokes about 2028 presidential run in press gala do-over

> "Just like my presidency, the second time is always better. And the third time is better yet," Trump said, before adding: "I'm only kidding."

> He later doubled down, pulling out a red "Trump 2028" cap and saying he was "pleased to announce my intention to – and this is a somewhat of a scoop – my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States".

It is well past the point where writing off bad behaviour as probably a joke is a reasonable thing to do with Trump as he as consistently not been joking about many things people have claimed he is joking about.
