As President Donald Trump’s second term in the White House has reached 100 days, one move has again made many concerned that he is looking to serve a third term despite the constitutional ban against it. On Thursday (April 25), his official “Trump Store” website boasted the red caps for sale with “TRUMP 2028” emblazoned in white on the front of them.
“Make a statement with this Made in America Trump 2028 hat,” the product description on the site reads. Each hat, which the site purportedly says are made in the United States, costs $50 each. The shop is also selling T-shirts in navy blue and red with the slogan “Trump 2028 (Rewrite the Rules).” Those shirts are priced at $36. His son, Eric Trump, was shown wearing the hat in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, by a group backing Trump’s ambitions for a third term. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also shared a photo of the hat on X, alongside another red, white, and blue hat that read “Gulf Of America.”
The hat is the latest sign that Trump is adamant about a third term in office. In an interview with NBC News, he said he was “not joking” about his intentions. “A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said on the Sunday morning (April 20) phone call. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.” He also didn’t rule out Vice President JD Vance being tabbed to run for office and handing the presidency to Trump if he won. “That’s one method,” Trump conceded, adding “But, there are others, too.”
The 22nd Amendment of the Consitution explicitly states that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” A change of that nature would require either a two-thirds vote of Congress or two-thirds of the states calling for a constitutional convention to submit changes. It then would call for three-quarters of the states to ratify the changes.
While some Republicans have tried to pass these statements off as jokes, other GOP politicians have openly endorsed it. Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles even introduced a resolution calling for the extension of term limits so that Trump can remain in office. In a recent survey though, 53% of Republicans polled said the 78-year-old Trump should not run again.
