President Donald Trump has periodically threatened to run for a third term in 2028 during his second term, even though the Constitution bars him from doing so. In addition to selling Trump 2028 merchandise and putting on such a hat at the recent White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, he’s often talked about running in 2028 on Truth Social, and he did again over the weekend.
According to Indy 100, the Truth Social post appeared on Saturday.
“In a black and white photo, the convicted felon is seen sporting a ‘Trump 2028’ cap, with text in the bottom left reading: ‘We are going to win,'” the post said.
Remember he said we won’t have to vote anymore? Remember when he said he wanted to be a dictator! Remember?
Trump told us that he wants an authoritarian government! Remember?
He will eliminate the SCOTUS and abolish the Constitution!

The Constitution is absolutely unambiguous that Trump cannot be elected president again, and Trump seems to know this is the case. He has reportedly asked donors, often, who he would like to succeed him, between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“I’d love to run, but the law’s very strong. I get asked by everyone … everybody wants me to do it, but the law’s very strong,” Trump told reporters last week.
Social media users had some reactions to Trump’s posts.
Trump just posted “TRUMP 2028” and “We are going to win.”
But remember, he’s just “trolling.” pic.twitter.com/RMM394VNh7

Steve Bannon: We’re working on 5 or 6 different alternatives for how Trump could run again and be president…I continue to say that on the afternoon of January 20th, 2029, Donald Trump is going to be president for his third term.

That’s nothing, I already have my Trump 2032 swag, and the legal opinion from Alan Dershowitz. According to him, the Constitution doesn’t say anything about the president having to be alive. And most of Trump’s supporters wouldn’t care anyhow. https://t.co/Ut4ZFapbDb
