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.
Our whole government has decided Trump can do these things. Republicans follow him like a cult leader, but democrats stand by and open doors for him.
If ICE comes to someone’s property they can be sent packing (and have been). If ICE stops the wrong person on the street they are likely to get messed up … they are just customs agents. The only reason they are getting to run wild like this is because they are catching slightly ignorant people off guard (not trying to be insulting, just meaning that they don’t know their rights).
There is no fix for the Supreme Court … most of them are corrupt and need to be impeached, but they is no legal path to do it.
And if the same thing happens when Trump runs again in 2028 what will be the difference?
Trump is not eligible to run for president again. It would take a two thirds vote from both the house and senate … it will not happen.
If he declares himself president after this second term it would be done illegally, and any US citizen could then attack him legally as a domestic threat to the Constitution. Trump is stupid, but he is not that stupid.
Trump is also not “allowed” to ignore court orders, yet here we are.
