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.
I wish soft launching a dictatorship was insane. He has soft launched all the atrocities before this. Always starts as a joke or suggestion… Until it’s not. Now here we are. This soft launch will takes all the outrage of this move and diffuse it through time and the fire hose of all the other terrible things to happen before the the next presidental election… Assuming we will have one at all.
