Summary

The Trump Store released $50 “Trump 2028” hats Thursday, sparking backlash online as Trump has repeatedly hinted at running for a third term.

“I have had more people ask me to have a third term,” Trump said on March 31, claiming the 2020 election was “totally rigged.”

Steve Bannon said he’s exploring “five or six different alternatives” to enable a third run.

Critics on social media called it “insane” and a sign of “fascist” ambitions. Though barred by the 22nd Amendment, Trump could run again if it were overturned by Congress and the states. However, it would require a two-thirds vote of Congress and three-fourths vote of the states.

    Is it just wishful thinking that we don’t have 3+ years until the election?

      We’ve got to get through the 2026 mid-terms first, which will be vitally important for Democrats. This is the next big battle, and HitlerPig is almost certainly going to find a way to suspend the election, for the first time in history.
