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.
Being a convicted felon made it illegal for him to run for a second term. Still didn’t stop him.
You can run as a felon. You can even run for president from jail.
Since he was eligible to run, the only process (that I know of) that could’ve made it illegal is as a possible consequence in an impeachment conviction in the Senate.
are you sure about that? theres been candidates literally in prison receiving electoral votes before
I’m sure Spongebob has received write in votes before. That doesn’t make him a legal candidate.
