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.
Are you really willing to bet the future of the country on this? Evil has a way of sticking around way longer than you’d think…
Absolutely not. I would rather the constitution not get used like toilet paper for this waste of human space. But if they go full authoritarian, why not lean into it and play our own hand in a similar vein?
I’m tired of taking the high road against fascists.
