Trump just ‘trolling’ about 2028 run — dead serious about acquiring Canada and Greenland

Published April 29, 2025 4:25pm ET



White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump is just “trolling” about winning a third presidential term in 2028, but she admitted he is serious about acquiring Greenland and making Canada the 51st state. 

Leavitt held a press conference on Tuesday that consisted of members of the “new media” — nontraditional media personalities with followings on YouTube and other social media platforms. During the briefing, Brenden Dilley, the host of The Dilley Show, asked Leavitt to answer a round of questions with either the response of “Trump trolling” or “Trump truthing.” He asked Leavitt if Trump was serious about making a 2028 presidential run, which would be prohibited by the Constitution, as he is currently serving his second term.
