The release of the US president’s new campaign products is fueling speculation about a potential third term.
Donald Trump, the U.S. President, has introduced a new line of campaign items, most notably baseball caps emblazoned with “TRUMP 2028.” This move suggests that he intends to remain a prominent figure in politics and may even be considering a bid for a third term as president.
Available for purchase in the official Trump campaign store, the caps prominently display Trump’s name and the year 2028 in large, bold letters, reminiscent of the well-known “Make America Great Again” design. The store also features T-shirts, available in classic red and navy blue, that display the same slogan and a promise to “Rewrite the Rules.”
Trump stated last month that he was “not joking” about the possibility of seeking a third term, suggesting that there are “methods” to circumvent the U.S. Constitution’s provision that limits presidents to two terms in office.
When NBC News inquired about a hypothetical scenario where Vice President J.D. Vance could run and subsequently cede the presidency to him, Trump responded, “That’s one. But there are others too.”
Despite Trump’s remark that “it is far too early to think” about the 2028 election, the release of this merchandise has led to renewed discussions regarding his future ambitions. The campaign store has cautioned that processing times could extend up to 10 business days due to “high demand.”
Having defeated Democratic candidate and then-Vice President Kamala Harris by a significant margin in the 2024 election, Trump secured a second non-consecutive term, becoming only the second president in U.S. history to achieve this.
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution restricts individuals from being elected to the presidential office for more than two terms. Nevertheless, allies of Trump have alluded to potential legal or political strategies to enable a third run by proposing legal challenges or reinterpretations of the amendment’s wording.
