Trump Unveiling 2028 Campaign Hats Sends Users in a Spiral: 'Soft Launching a Fascist Dictatorship Is Insane'

Internet users weren't sure whether to laugh or cry after the president's Trump Store, run by the Trump Organization, unveiled 2028 campaign hats on Thursday.

President Donald Trump has made multiple comments about running for a third term. Last month, he told reporters on Air Force One he was not joking.

"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," Trump stated on March 31. "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," he continued.

Following Trump's comments, former White House Strategist Steve Bannon claimed he was working on "five or six different alternatives" that would allow the president to run for a third term.

As images of the $50 "Trump 2028" cap spread, many social media users denounced the president and his supporters for blatantly disregarding the Constitution.

"soft launching a fascist dictatorship is insane," X user @imnotpopbase wrote.

"He's openly being a fascist like WHAT?" another added.

"I'm telling myself it's a joke but it's like kinda not funny at all," a third wrote.

"If trump can run for a 3rd term than so can obama," @CGBBURNER joked.

"The same people who claim to be 'pro constitution,'" a social media user noted, adding, "It's a cult."

"IJBOL he really thinks he can violate the constitution and the two term limit.. what a joke," another X user stated.

The hat's release even prompted MAGA supporters to question the ethics of Trump's ploy to run another term.

"As a kind of Trump supporter, I don't want this at all, and will not vote for him if he can run again," @Wes3Jones wrote.

Despite the backlash, a few social media users shared they were excited to purchase the hat.

"I can't wait to purchase!!!! TRUMP 2028 ! KEEP AMERICA GREAT !💪🏾," @movebackbug_ wrote.

Although the 22nd Amendment makes it highly unlikely that Trump will be allowed to run, it isn't impossible. The amendment that restricts presidents to a two-term limit, which was added to the Constitution by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1951, can be changed. However, it would require a two-thirds vote of Congress and three-fourths vote of the states.
