Concern has been raised by Donald Trump’s most recent act in the White House, which seems to allude to his potential reelection.
Despite the fact that it would be unlawful, the 79-year-old has often stated that he would think about seeking a third term in office.
Trump’s wins in 2016 and 2024 make it obvious that he has vio:lated the 22nd Amendment’s ban on serving more than two terms as president.
He did, however, provide an update on his plans for a second presidential run in August.
Having said that, Trump just posted a picture to Truth Social that might be a clue that he plans to run for office again.
As he met with Democratic leaders on Monday (September 29) to discuss ways to prevent a government shutdown, the president was seen in the Oval Office wearing ‘Trump 2028’ hats.
Shortly after it was announced that the government would be closing for the first time since 2018–2019, the post was made.
The US House of Representatives’ minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, has responded to Trump’s antics after he posted the picture and an AI video that made fun of Jeffries.
Speaking on CNN, he said: “He is an unserious individual and the Republicans are unserious at this point.
“They have no interest in having a good faith conversation and all of the behavior erratic, unhinged behavior that we have seen should suggest to the American people who actually is trying to drive us toward a government shutdown.”
On social media, many also condemned Trump for this as well as the potential suggestion in running for president again.
One user on Twitter wrote: “Trump spent yesterday’s meeting with Democratic leadership taunting them with ‘Trump 2028’ hats. He’s not serious about keeping the government open. He’s openly mocking America’s Constitution.”
Another added: “If Trump can flaunt his Trump 2028 hats on the Resolute desk, trample the Constitution & run for a 3rd term – Barack Obama can run for a 3rd term.”
A third commented: “The hat serves as the warning for what’s to come. Some folk keep ignoring that warning.”
Someone else was frustrated with the Democrats staying for a meeting, despite the ‘2028 Trump’ hats in view.
They wrote: “When you walk into a meeting with Trump that is supposed to be a bipartisan negotiation on a funding resolution and he has ‘Trump 2028’ merch strewn across the table, the correct response is TO WALK OUT OF THE F****** ROOM.”
