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.
Prison. Now. For him and all his corrupt, openly criminal Constitution-shredding cronies. We are far past the point of hand-waving over the open criminality and corruption. And in Trump’s case, legitimate Constitutionally-defined treason. Mass arrests and convictions of these criminals needs to happen now. Right now. Even if we the people need to take care of it ourselves. Nobody is coming to save us.
…and who exactly is going to stop him? All evidence so far suggests he will continue to do whatever the fuck he wants and continue to get away with it, simply because nobody has the power or the will to stop him
Juan Merchan was obliged to do so by the law, the Constitution, and good-old ethics. But he kissed the ring, instead.
If no-one stops him, then the US only has itself to blame.
The tangerine pufferfish has an incredible ability to say a thing enough that it becomes true enough to happen.
How is it fucking soft launching fascism? The US is already at the concentration camp step, it is already fully blown fascism.
He’s not soft launching shit. It is a fascist regime.
I’m against violence, but I’m not sure urinating and/or defecating on anyone wearing this hat counts as violence
Then maybe you’re against aggression and OK with defense. Not all violence is bad.
CW2 when
They’re also selling shirts that say “rewrite the rules” just under the rest of it. Oh boy.
Why rewrite the rules when you can just not follow them in the first place?
It’s called pulling up the ladder or closing the door behind you. You don’t want anyone else to be able to do what you do.
He got into power rigging the election with Elon, Russia, and ballotproof. He will magically get enough seats in the midterm to overturn the 22nd and be king til he dies if successful.
Republicans would have to win two thirds of state legislatures with MAGA loyalists to even bring a vote to overturn the 22nd. There is no way that happens legally, and Republicans know it. If they plan on a third Trump term, my bet is they will either be ignoring the 22nd altogether, or enacting emergency powers to suspend the entire Constitution indefinitely.
Not saying I agree with the whole 2 terms 4 years each thing americans have let alone their political system in general, but who was actually surprised? That’s what fascists do, just take Mussolini.
thats what hitler does, whom trump have qouted many times.
You have to soft launch your fascist dictatorship. People need time to accept the possibility.
It took a lifetime to turn the Roman Republic into the Principate. You gotta ease into these things to keep peope from shanking you on the senate floor.
it’s ment for americans. more than soft people

Jail? You all are more delusional than I thought.

Do you know of any dictator that was deposed by a court?
most dictators are unalived before that happens.
follow by example, much like benjaman has done.
Sure, everyone has seen the checks and balances in action

He wasn’t actually president when they decided that
its not likes going to jail for state charges anyways, the courts just strung along all the cases , so they can make it look like they did something.
Like how they put him in jail during Biden’s term?
Oh wait!

I would love to live in this fairytale land where Trump actually faces consequences, but unfortunately that will never happen and people need to face reality and focus on minimizing damage.
Trump was exactly what the world needed, to see how far it had strayed
He is going to ride the courts until he dies or too old to care. They had 4 years to lock him up for his previous crimes including Jan 6th. He won’t see jail time and he knows it

he couldn’t sleep at night because he was getting all his sleep during the hearings
He will be president for the rest of his life.
And if that’s a month, two, who are we to judge God’s plan or the Luigi who carries it out.
To put on my own conspiracy hat for a moment, he’s getting set up to be the fall guy. He’s following a playbook he didn’t write, the people that did write Project 2025 know how unpopular it will be, and the final play is setting trump up as the tyrant to be deposed by a real dictator. Sure hope I’m wrong.
$50.00 for a fucking Made in China hat.
With tariffs, $120
Hats made in china cost about $4 before tarriffs
i just assumed the corruption is so out in the open already that he will add an exemption for trump merch
Could be a major grift, could be a very serious motion to run again, we don’t know what’s real because he’ll try anything and knows his shit licking supporters will be right behind him to thank him. I’m skeptical but I’m ready to face the worst.
Legally the only way he could run again would be to modify the Constitution which is simply impossible since the Democrats will never agree to it.
Which means he’ll have to do it the Trump way by forcing things. => 2028 comes up, he announces he’s going to run again and his fanbase will support him.
=>The Republican leadership will then have to choose between supporting him again or not supporting him and splinter the party. They will probably choose to support him which will trigger probably the biggest constitutional crisis since the Civil War.
=>Democrat states and maybe a few Republican will refuse to put him on their ballots and the Supreme Courts has to get involved. A Supreme Court that is dominated by 6 Republican appointed judges at the moment (3 of whom were appointed by Trump). If more Democrat appointed judges die during his current term, then there’s a fair chance he’ll have complete control over it by the 2028 election. They might actually reinterpret the Constitution to let him run.
I’m honestly very concerned for the US. Maybe he chokes on a chicken wing and we can avoid this whole mess.
We’ve just recently seen there are only two justices willing to follow Trump off the cliff when push comes to shove.
