Eric Trump wears Trump 2028 hat, the new one that the Trump Organization launched
The Trump Organization-owned Trump Store debuted its newest merchandise on Thursday, a red "Trump 2028" hat for $50, and it immediately ignited social media reaction, as per a report.


Trump Store Launches “Trump 2028” Hat

The hat comes after US President Donald Trump's recent comments hinted at running for a third term, as per Latin Times. On March 31, from Air Force One, Trump informed journalists, "I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the other election, the 2020 election was totally rigged," quoted Latin Times. He went on to say, "I don't want to talk about a third term now because no matter how you look at it, we've got a long time to go," as quoted in the report.

Fueling the discussion further, former White House strategist Steve Bannon shared that he was in the process of "five or six different alternatives" that might actually make a third Trump term a reality, according to Latin Times.


What the Constitution Says

Although the 22nd Amendment prevents presidents from holding office for more than two terms, it is theoretically possible to repeal it, but only through a two-thirds vote by Congress and three-fourths approval of the states, reported Latin Times.


Social Media Explodes

Meanwhile, as photos of the $50 "Trump 2028" hat circulated online, several social media users condemned the action, blaming the president and his allies for disregarding the Constitution's two-term limit, as per the report.
