US President’s New Campaign Merch Sparks Third-Term Speculation
US President Donald Trump has rolled out a new line of campaign merchandise, featuring baseball caps emblazoned with “TRUMP 2028.” This move signals his intention to stay in the political arena and raises the possibility of a bid for a third term in office.
The caps, which are now sold at the official Trump campaign store, sport Trump’s name and the year 2028 in prominent block letters, reminiscent of the well-known “Make America Great Again” design. Additionally, the store offers T-shirts in traditional red and navy blue that display the same slogan, coupled with the promise to “Rewrite the Rules.”
In a statement last month, Trump emphasized that he is “not joking” about the prospect of a third term, asserting that there are “methods” to pursue another campaign despite the US Constitution’s stipulation of a two-term limit for the presidency.
When asked by NBC News about a potential scenario where Vice President J. D. Vance could run and then transfer the office back to him, Trump replied, “That’s one. But there are others too.”
Despite acknowledging that “it is far too early to think” about 2028, the launch of the merchandise has reignited chatter regarding his future ambitions. The campaign store has also indicated a processing time of up to 10 business days due to “high demand.”
Trump previously won the 2024 election by a significant margin against Democratic candidate and then-Vice President Kamala Harris, making him the second president in US history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
While the 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, Trump’s allies have suggested legal arguments challenging the amendment’s wording, indicating possible strategies to facilitate a third run.
Earlier this year, Republican Congressman Andy Ogles proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow presidents to serve three non-consecutive terms; however, it has yet to gain significant traction. Any amendments to the Constitution require a two-thirds majority approval in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification from three-quarters of the states.
