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.
Almost three hundreds years of progress undone by a man that cosplays a billionaire Cheeto.
Truly remarkable.
Longest lasting representative democracy in history, ended by a felon rapist, while a solid chunk of the country cheered.
Truly a weak, pathetic, stupid, shameful country.
Representative for who? Natives, black people, queers, anyone remotely to the left wouldn’t say the US has been exactly democratic during it’s time. Trump and the GOP are just the current incarnation of the settlers that massacred the indigenous people and the racists who enforced slavery and later Jim Crow and segregation. They have been a part of America since it’s founding.
I think if more Americans were honest about how shitty their country has always been, maybe they could understand how Trump is merely a symptom of a deeper rot.
