There are shirts that say “Rewrite the rules,” so it’s pretty clear that they know this isn’t allowed and are trying to start early and normalize tearing up the Constitution.
Also:
Republican senators on Capitol Hill later downplayed Trump’s comments, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, of South Dakota, telling reporters that Trump couldn’t seek a third term “without a change in the Constitution.”
Thune also said Trump is “probably messing” with reporters who ask about the possibility of a Trump 2028 campaign.
So they’re going with the tried-and-true “it’s just a joke, bro” defense, until of course it isn’t.
Asked to comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred NBC News to the Trump Organization “since it’s their website,” adding, “but it’s a cool hat and I suspect it will be highly popular!”
New tagline just dropped! “Dictatorship: It’s A Cool Hat and I Suspect It Will Be Highly Popular”
Just like Project 2025 ‘Wasn’t the plan’ until it was the plan.
What do you get when you cross a penis and a potato?
Donald Trump.
Small fry.
Small penis.
This is the party that says "he means what he says!”
And now it’s “He’s probably messing”.
this is how he operates… he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.
this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.
…to shreds it is, then.
“Rewrite the rules” is a clear campaign slogan.
This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn’t get to run again.
Hopefully also literally unable to run
You think he’s currently able to run? If so I have a medical report you’ll love to see.
He wasn’t able this time either. 14th amendment.
As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he’s disqualified under the 14th amendment from holding his office. We’re already past that line.
Well, running for president isn’t really running if the result is already fixed. So you have that going for you.
He said he’d do this. Why are any USAians surprised?
I’m glad to see “Americans” getting used less for obvious reasons, but every time I see that written I read it as “us asians”.
I vote for Stations.
Well, Statians, but pronounced the same as stations.
Does everyone remember during Trump’s first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said “maybe we should try that” and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he’ll get. Now there’s a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

Remember the progression with his election denial as well.
Jan. 6, 2021 and there were just a handful of plants who would try to object to the counting, before all hell broke loose, while the rest think they’re being savvy and staying in their base’s good graces while not taking flak by not denouncing it. Four years later, and they don’t bat an eye when the literal insurrectionists that nearly killed them are all pardoned, and nobody will even go on record calling it anything but Trump’s version.
By 2028, expect to see lockstep party agreement on this, as well as plans to actually do it - whether allowed or not - already well underway.
Modify them to read ‘Trump: 1946 - 2028’.
*this is not real, I shopped it
“See?! Libs want a dictator too!!!11”
Please don’t, I would buy them and finance Trump :(
Where did I suggest purchasing anything?
You really are a genius, i wasn’t sure before.
Next merch: Trump 1793.
I guess Trump merch is exempted from the tariffs?
I have thought to myself for a long time… what would happen once people started putting up Trump 2028 flags in their yards? What would happen if those houses started burning down as a result?
I mean, at LEAST throw a handful of pocket salt on their yard each time that you walk by.
Maybe find out their names and give generic complaints to their employers.
Susan Collins is very concerned.
I’m not protesting now, cuz laziness, but you better belive I’m burning shit if he wants ro run again
He wants to run again, but really, he wants to not need to run at all. Just dictator for life, which is probably not very long considering his age and health. Putin is his model for how “free and fair” elections should go.
I have faith that our Constitution will weather this and also no Republican will sit in the oval office in 2028.
Even if he isn’t going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It’s money in the bank.
Waiting for the merch commemorating members of the public stringing everyone in the administration up.
I can’t think of a comment to make here that won’t get me investigated by this Secret Service
Step up your op sec and speak freely :)
