The Trump Store is now selling $50 "Trump 2028" hats.
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.
In case anyone is still unsure, he is not willingly leaving in 2028. Everything that's happening indicates he is setting up a path for him to remain. One of two things are going to happen in our future.
We will need to march on DC in INSANE numbers and force him to leave with the threat of lethal force.
We will have to use lethal force to make him leave.
Only other possibility is he dies of natural causes before then. But then we get Vance and we'll probably have to do the same thing. This isn't just Trump. The entire GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. The only reason he didn't do it last time is because he hadn't set up the foundation for him to remain by doing things like, I don't know, instructing the FBI to arrest federal judges who oppose him, which is a line we just crossed today.
Fascism is here. Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train. Help others train.
Let's be honest. His health isn't going to make it. But regardless, if true, we should run Obama against him just so he can lose to a black man, again, before he dies.
I'm not going to lie, this is a profitable move by Trump, because his voters will line up to get them to antagonize those outside their in group, as was the entire point of their vote, to harm their enemies as an end in itself, regardless of whether he's able to get the SCOTUS to rule that up means down and no third term means infinite terms for Republicans only.
I'm just looking forward to all the idiots giggling about their own enslavement, as I see anyone wearing that hat as a derivation of this:
And these hats still had to be designed, manufactured and shipped.
Meaning, this wasn't exactly done yesterday. Meaning that while Trump was publicly stating that "they want me to run for a 3rd term, but I can't" this was likely already in the works.
Not surprising in the least, but still worth pointing out and adding to the already huge pile of bs coming from him and his suckers.
I wish soft launching a dictatorship was insane. He has soft launched all the atrocities before this. Always starts as a joke or suggestion... Until it's not. Now here we are. This soft launch will takes all the outrage of this move and diffuse it through time and the fire hose of all the other terrible things to happen before the the next presidental election... Assuming we will have one at all.
Not saying I agree with the whole 2 terms 4 years each thing americans have let alone their political system in general, but who was actually surprised? That's what fascists do, just take Mussolini.
Performative acts like that shirt are the proof-of-faith that the republiQans require. It's very tied up with Evangelical Christianity in an awful way.
You have to soft launch your fascist dictatorship. People need time to accept the possibility.
It took a lifetime to turn the Roman Republic into the Principate. You gotta ease into these things to keep peope from shanking you on the senate floor.
Could be a major grift, could be a very serious motion to run again, we don't know what's real because he'll try anything and knows his shit licking supporters will be right behind him to thank him. I'm skeptical but I'm ready to face the worst.
Prison. Now. For him and all his corrupt, openly criminal Constitution-shredding cronies. We are far past the point of hand-waving over the open criminality and corruption. And in Trump’s case, legitimate Constitutionally-defined treason. Mass arrests and convictions of these criminals needs to happen now. Right now. Even if we the people need to take care of it ourselves. Nobody is coming to save us.
...and who exactly is going to stop him? All evidence so far suggests he will continue to do whatever the fuck he wants and continue to get away with it, simply because nobody has the power or the will to stop him
