Maybe its for Trump Jr? I think we all know its not, but maybe?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

This is just click bait

There is no useful information from what crazy merch is on the store. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even know that he has a store. There are real concerns about 2028 but this is just the media looking for attention.

Given his tanking popularity, he might be better off ordering the Trump 2032 hats alongside this and get a bulk discount.

I'm not protesting now, cuz laziness, but you better belive I'm burning shit if he wants ro run again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

He wants to run again, but really, he wants to not need to run at all. Just dictator for life, which is probably not very long considering his age and health. Putin is his model for how "free and fair" elections should go.

I have faith that our Constitution will weather this and also no Republican will sit in the oval office in 2028.

Waiting for the merch commemorating members of the public stringing everyone in the administration up.

He could pull a Clinton and build Melania as his successor. It wouldn't change his politics, but would at least be a prettier sight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

She doesn't even want to be there for pictures, let alone actually do anything. Hillary, for all her faults, was actually a politician.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I can't look at her any more these days either. She reminds me of Roald Dahl's description of people with ugly thoughts.

Eric Trump 2028? lol

Does everyone remember during Trump's first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said "maybe we should try that" and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he'll get. Now there's a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

Remember the progression with his election denial as well.

Jan. 6, 2021 and there were just a handful of plants who would try to object to the counting, before all hell broke loose, while the rest think they're being savvy and staying in their base's good graces while not taking flak by not denouncing it. Four years later, and they don't bat an eye when the literal insurrectionists that nearly killed them are all pardoned, and nobody will even go on record calling it anything but Trump's version.

By 2028, expect to see lockstep party agreement on this, as well as plans to actually do it - whether allowed or not - already well underway.

ok he's serious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I saw this interesting video, and there are not lots of ways for him to run in 2028.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 3 days ago (1 children)

this is how he operates.. he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.

this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

....to shreds it is, then.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have thought to myself for a long time.. what would happen once people started putting up Trump 2028 flags in their yards? What would happen if those houses started burning down as a result?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I mean, at LEAST throw a handful of pocket salt on their yard each time that you walk by.

Maybe find out their names and give generic complaints to their employers.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Modify them to read ‘Trump: 1946 - 2028’.

made this

*this is not real, I shopped it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

"See?! Libs want a dictator too!!!!11"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Please don't, I would buy them and finance Trump :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where did I suggest purchasing anything?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

You really are a genius, i wasn't sure before.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

It's pitchforks and guillotines time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Even if he isn't going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It's money in the bank.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

He may be old, but mentally and emotionally he is like a child.
