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.

    If this joke of a nation had any merit at all, these coy suggestions would be disqualifying and his flabby, corrupt ass would be on the sidewalk or in jail tomorrow. Unfortunately, Americans are lazy, entitled, stupid, and collectively rich enough to pretend that there won’t be consequences to our shortsightedness.

          I can’t tell for sure if this is a supporting comment, or if it’s sarcastically pointing out that Trump was elected.

          On the off chance that it is sarcasm, what I meant was that the people have no democratic process to remove elected officials from power.

            I’m saying that if we had an actual democracy, 35% support from idiots doesn’t get you into office. It gets a little attention that fades and is almost forgotten a couple years later. You know, a sane world – in which we do not live.

        Americans don’t have a democratic process to do anything about it.

        Hmmm, what would other countries do if they didn’t have a democratic process to do anything about it? Maybe the French have some advice…

      The facts already disqualifying him is why he’s disqualified. Good to see Americans aren’t alone as the stupid ones
