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.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone to start selling “Obama 2028” hats.
Or Bill Clinton 2028 hats. They’re the same age, after all and the jokes write themselves.
Bill Clinton - At least he was able to balance the budget.
Bill Clinton - He’ll just fuck the interns instead of the rest of us.
Bill Clinton sucks. His policies directly lead us to where we are today and what he did to Lewinsky was sexual harassment.
I know you’re joking but I don’t find him to be very funny.
Yeah, he really shit the bed when he repealed Glass-Steagall and opened the door for the corporatist hellscape we currently live in.
Also, there’s a good bit of evidence that dude actually raped women. Clinton was my hero when I was a baby lib, I read his book and everything. I don’t think history will treat his (or his wife’s) memory kindly.

Let’s be honest, Obama is at least partially responsible for the USA being in the situation it is now. We don’t need Obama again, we need an actual left candidate that will actually fight for leftist agenda items, like Medicare for all, and not double down on W Bush policies and kill thousands of people with drones.
Obama ran on a left leaning agenda with major grassroots support, then dismantled that organization and governed as a center right Democrat.
The point is that there’s NOTHING that would infuriate Trump more - and any argument for how Trump can run for a third term will also then apply to Obama.
Any US opinion of what’s “left” and “right” is unparseable for us who live in Europe anyways.
uh, he could lose to AOC and then he’s losing to a black woman that he already hates?
You’re underestimating how easy it is to infuriate Trump, and overestimating how worthwhile it is. I’d much sooner have that fat fuck drown in his own blood than want to get a rise out of him. Instead of letting in a shitty moderate who ultimately enabled Donald Trump for the lulz, I’d prefer we get someone who will re-establish the rule of law and imprison Trump and all of his cronies.
If you sink to their level, they will beat you with experience. You think you can out-troll the nihilistic right. You can’t. Leftism is based on the idea of actually giving af.
If we manage to emerge from this with MAGA destroyed, we will have a rare opportunity to rebuild this nation, and the LAST thing we should do is go back to the same old-same old, with weak, spineless, Democratic weenies like Obama, Schumer, and their weasely ilk.
We need to have bold, courageous Democratic elected representatives who will hold the line when the Nazis try to rise again, and fight them with everything we have. Not like the last time, when they bent over at every opportunity.
That would normalize what they are doing.
