TRUMP 2028: Teasing a Third Term That the Constitution Bans
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Donald Trump is once again fueling speculation about a 2028 presidential run, sharing AI-generated videos mocking Democrats and prominently featuring the newly marketed “TRUMP 2028” cap.
The move, which critics have labeled “offensive and racist” for its use of stereotypical imagery against figures like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, has drawn attention away from active government shutdown negotiations. While White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump’s posts as “refreshing,” Democrats condemned the content and its timing.
The sale of the “Trump 2028” merchandise—complete with the slogan “Rewrite the rules”—directly confronts the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This amendment explicitly states that no person can be elected president more than twice.
Trump and his allies have hinted at a potential “workaround,” such as the scenario where he runs for Vice President and then assumes the presidency through succession. However, most legal experts agree that this would violate the spirit, and likely the letter, of the Constitution, which bars a twice-elected person from seeking the presidency again.
AI Deepfakes and ‘TRUMP 2028’ Cap Ignite Budget Fight and Third-Term Debate
Amid tense budget negotiations, President Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy by posting a series of surreal, AI-generated videos featuring political caricatures and a conspicuous “TRUMP 2028” cap.
Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, swiftly condemned the clips as “racist” and “disgusting,” pointing to the use of racially charged imagery and accusing Trump of failing to take fiscal talks seriously. Trump’s supporters, conversely, praised the posts for their humor.
The videos are the latest promotional push for the $50 “Trump 2028” cap, now for sale by the Trump Organization under the slogan “Rewrite the rules.” This marketing campaign suggests a serious effort to challenge the two-term limit set by the 22nd Amendment.
While the Constitution clearly prohibits a third election victory, some Trump allies are floating a legal theory: a run for Vice President followed by a presidential resignation, which they believe could bypass the two-term “elected” restriction. Trump has acknowledged the idea, stating he knows of “methods” to skirt the constitutional barrier.
