Trump has said that he is serious about running for a third term as president, and now he has the merchandise to show that he is serious about vying for the position.
Hats with the slogan “TRUMP 2028” are currently being sold on the official TrumpStore.com website, which serves as an unofficial beginning of the campaign. The hats, which are now on sale for $50 apiece, are available in the traditional MAGA red color. There is also a photo of Eric Trump, Trump’s son, wearing one of the hats that are included on the Trump Store website.
During a phone interview with NBC News on March 30, Trump, who is 78 years old, emphasized that he was “not joking” about the possibility of running for a third term.
When asked about it at the time, he said, “A lot of people want me to do it.” “I basically tell them that we have a long way to go, particularly considering that it is still very early in the administration,” In addition, over the course of the conversation, Trump said that there are “methods” by which he might circumvent the laws and serve a third term in office. This would make him the oldest president in the history of the United States by the time his second term comes to a conclusion in January of 2029.
In 1951, the 22nd Amendment was adopted to the Constitution of the United stipulates of America. This amendment stipulates that a president cannot be elected to more than two terms in office. This amendment was enacted in response to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s record four terms in office.
However, fans have suggested a few potential scenarios, despite the fact that Trump did not elaborate on the “methods” by which he may serve a third term in office.
The most basic option would be to alter the Constitution, which would need either a vote of two-thirds in Congress or the agreement of two-thirds of the states in the United States to convene a constitutional convention in order to make the modifications. Both of these scenarios are regarded to be very improbable circumstances.
The final strategy would include Vice President J.D. Vance winning the election in 2028 on a ticket that included Trump and Vance, and then retiring from his position.
In addition, a number of Trump’s political friends have made public statements on the prospect of his serving another term inside the government. Andy Ogles, a congressman from Tennessee, proposed a House Joint Resolution to modify the Constitution and make it possible for the president to serve a third term in office. This occurred three days after the president was sworn into office successfully for the second time.
Steve Bannon, who had previously served as Trump’s top strategist, said that he was “working on” ideas to get the president elected once again during an interview that took place on NewsNation on March 18 with Chris Cuomo.
According to Bannon, “I believe that we will have a couple of different options.” It will be up to us to determine what the word limit really means.
An other statement that he made was, “I am a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028.” “We’ve had more long shots than Trump 2028,” the researcher said.
In November of 2024, when he was addressing at the House Republican Conference in Washington, District of Columbia, President Trump made the first suggestion that he would run for a third term.
At the time, he made a statement that seemed to be made in jest, and it was welcomed with laughter from the audience. “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we’ve got to figure something else,'” he remarked.
