The Trump organization has begun to sell hats and red shirts in line with the slogan “Trump 2028” bright white embroidery along the front of the hat.
The list for the hats marked them as for sale for $ 50 and included a description that said: “The future looks bright! Rewrite the rules with the high crown hat Trump 2028. Completely embroidered with a quick closure on the back, this will become its new reference hat.” The shirts, listed for $ 36 each, have a slogan “Trump 2028” and the phrase “rewrite the rules”.
In response to a request for comments, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sent NBC’s news to the Trump organization “since it is its website,” and adds: “But it is a great hat and I suspect that it will be very popular!”
The Trump organization did not respond to a request for comments. Eric Trump, the president’s son and the organization’s maximum executive, published a photo of himself with the hat along with email screenshots of journalists who ask about the merchandise.
The president and his allies have repeatedly coquetted with the possibility that Trump will postulate for a third mandate, despite the fact that the Constitution prohibits it.
In a telephone interview with NBC News last month, Trump answered a question about whether he would look for a third mandate, saying: “Many people want me to do it.”
“But, I mean, I basically tell you that we have a long way to go, you know, it is very early in the administration,” he added, but at no time he denied that he was exploring the idea of running for another mandate in 2028.
“I’m not joking,” the president added in the telephone interview. “But I am not, it’s too early to think about it.”
Trump also said, when asked if the advisors have presented plans to avoid the presidential term limit imposed by amendment 22 to the Constitution: “There are methods that could do it.”
The Republican senators in Capitol Hill then minimized Trump’s comments, with the leader of the majority of the Senate John Thune, RS.D., telling journalists that Trump could not look for a third term “without a change in the Constitution.”
Thune also said that Trump is “probably messy” with journalists who ask about the possibility of a 2028 Trump campaign.
But days after the president was sworn in January, one of his allies in the Chamber, the representative Andy Ogles, R-Ten., Introduced a constitutional amendment that would limit the presidential term limit in three terms, provided that the first two terms served were not consecutive.
It is unlikely that the measure goes anywhere and would require the support of two thirds of the Congress, plus three quarters of state legislatures.
