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.

    Oh, no, we aren’t even close to finished. By the time we are done, whatever is left of the Republican party will be very sorry they started all this nonsense.

      Wish I shared your enthusiasm, but Americans have sleepwalked through everything so far. I don’t see that changing before it’s much too late. Only thing that saved Europe was the good guys swooping in. That ain’t happening in this scenario. We have to save ourselves and I don’t see it happening.

        A rogue president ordering the military to invade a friendly allied neighbor has never happened. Its safe to say that would be the end of trying to recover our nation through legal Constitutional methods (which is the stage we are in right now). It would instantly cause a Civil War, and would vastly reduce the military forces, as MANY military members would refuse to comply. We have many very experienced high level military leaders who would be of great use to the Canadian army, and many of our trained soldiers will support them.

        The MAGA military leaders are loyalists first, and competency comes far down the list. It is likely that HitlerPig will be calling the shots, just the way Hitler did in WWII, and that was a major reason for the German’s downfall. HitlerPig is even stupider than Hitler was.
