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.
This is why they are so actively defying the courts and ignoring their rulings, especially the Supreme Court, and he’ll be doing it as often as possible between now and Election Day 2025. That way, when he defies them to serve a 3rd term, it will just be the latest in a long series of violations, and people will be too fatigued to fight about it.
Oh there will be a fight. That’s for sure.
I agree. I should have stressed that that’s their strategy, not that it will necessarily work.
