Hosting European leaders, Trump brings out ‘Trump 2028’ hat from his closet: Eyes on another term?

US President Donald Trump showed off Maga hat collection displayed at the gift shop to European leaders who visited the White House earlier this week for a meeting on the Russia-Ukraine war.

A photo circulating on social media, shared by Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor Margo Martin, shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gazing at a wall filled with red and white Maga hats and other pro-Trump merchandise in a room resembling a gift shop, seemingly located within the White House.

The picture was posted following Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including French President Emannuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It showed the US president showing a red hat with the words “4 More Years”.

Is it a sign?

Trump has time and again indicated that he intends to run for a third term, a move that is barred by the 22nd Amendment, which does not allow a president to run more than two terms.

In March, Trump told NBC that he does not rule out the possibility of running for another term. “A lot of people want me to do it. But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration,” he said.

Changing the Constitution to eliminate the two-term presidential limit would be extremely challenging. It would require either a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress or approval from two-thirds of the states to convene a constitutional convention. In either case, any proposed amendment would then need to be ratified by three-quarters of the states.
