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.
Trump is not eligible to run for president again. It would take a two thirds vote from both the house and senate … it will not happen.
If he declares himself president after this second term it would be done illegally, and any US citizen could then attack him legally as a domestic threat to the Constitution. Trump is stupid, but he is not that stupid.
Trump is also not “allowed” to ignore court orders, yet here we are.
