Trump Store Begins Selling 'Trump 2028' Merchandise
Summary from the AllSides News Team
Donald Trump's online store has started selling merchandise branded with "Trump 2028."
The Details: The $50 hat, which started selling on the Trump Store website Thursday, includes the caption “rewrite the rules,” likely referencing the 22nd Amendment. The constitution states that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Though, Trump has suggested that there are constitutional loopholes around what is considered a third term and that he is “not joking” about it.
How The Media Covered It: The Guardian (Left bias) reported that it is unlikely Trump will actually run for a third term due to his low popularity in opinion polls. The New York Post (Lean Right) highlighted the potential for JD Vance to run for office with Trump as his running mate, then resign to allow Trump to step in. Forbes (Center) emphasized the intentional ambiguity of the hat and included comments from Steve Bannon and Attorney General Pam Bondi about a potential third term from the president.
