The Trump Organization has just unveiled a striking new piece of merchandise that’s raising eyebrows and fueling fresh speculation about Donald Trump’s political future. For $50, fans can now purchase a bold “Trump 2028” baseball cap on the official Trump Store website—despite the constitutional limits on presidential terms still firmly in place.
The cap, initially promoted with the message “The future looks bright! Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat,” quickly stirred debate. The description was soon updated to: “Make a statement with this Made in America Trump 2028 hat. Fully embroidered with a snap closure in the back, this will become your new favorite.” While the original “rewrite the rules” tagline seemed to reference the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two elected terms, that hasn’t stopped Trump or his team from teasing the idea of circumventing the rule—or turning it into a rallying cry for supporters.
When The New York Post reached out for clarification on the timing and purpose of the hat, Trump Organization spokeswoman Kimberly Benza offered a simple explanation: “Because it’s amazing.” The hat’s release comes shortly after Trump suggested in a recent NBC News interview that he’s open to the possibility of a third term, though he admitted it’s “too early” to make any definitive plans.
Among Trump’s loyalists, a theory is gaining traction: a 2028 ticket featuring Vice President JD Vance at the top, with Trump as his running mate. The speculation goes that if they win, Vance could step down, clearing the way for Trump to once again take the presidential oath. Trump himself hinted at this “one way” to bypass the two-term restriction, suggesting that other legal loopholes might also be in play.
Many Americans, Trump insists, are calling for his return to office. “A lot of people would like me to,” he remarked in March. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, meanwhile, took aim at the media for its reaction to Trump’s comments. “You ask him a question, he answers honestly, and suddenly everyone’s melting down,” she said. “The truth is, people love the job this president is doing.”
In Washington, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) is pushing to make a change to the Constitution itself. In January, he introduced an amendment proposal that would allow presidents to seek a third term—provided it’s not consecutive—opening the door for candidates to run again after a break between terms.
