President Donald Trump has said there are “methods” by which he could run for a third term, which is currently prohibited by the Constitution.

Donald Trump has said that he’s serious about running for a third term as president, and now he’s got the merch to prove it.

The official TrumpStore.com website is now selling “TRUMP 2028” hats, unofficially launching the campaign. Available in the classic MAGA red, the hats are on sale for $50 each. Trump’s son, Eric, is even pictured wearing one of the caps on the Trump Store listing.

In a March 30 phone interview with NBC News, Trump, 78, insisted he was “not joking” about considering a third term.

“A lot of people want me to do it,” he said at the time. “I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

Trump, who will be the oldest president in U.S. history by the time his second term ends in January 2029, also said during the interview that there are “methods” by which he could subvert the rules and serve a third term.

The 22nd Amendment, which was added to the U.S. Constitution in 1951 – following Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s historic four terms in office – states that a president cannot be elected to more than two terms.

Trump didn’t expand on the “methods” by which he could serve a third term, but supporters have proposed a few different possibilities.

The most straightforward would be amending the Constitution, either by a two-thirds vote in Congress or by two-thirds of U.S. states agreeing to call a constitutional convention to propose the changes — both of which are considered highly unlikely.

A third method would entail Vice President J.D. Vance winning the 2028 election on a Vance-Trump ticket and then resigning.

Several of Trump’s political allies have also spoken publicly about the possibility of him serving another term. Three days after the president was sworn into office for a second time, Tennessee congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution and allow for a third term.

In a March 18 interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon said he was “working on” ideas to get the president elected again.

“I think we’ll have a couple of alternatives,” Bannon said. “We’ll see what the definition of term limit is.”

“I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028,” he added. “We’ve had greater long shots than Trump 2028.”

Trump first floated the possibility of a third term in November 2024, while speaking at the House Republican Conference in Washington, D.C.

“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we’ve got to figure something else,’ ” he said at the time — seemingly in jest — to laughs from the crowd.
