On October 1, 2025, President Trump displayed hats inscribed with ‘Trump 2028’ during a meeting with congressional leaders. The hats have been available for purchase since April through his online store.
Details of the Meeting
Photos shared on Trump’s TruthSocial account showed the hats during his meeting with Mike Johnson, John Thune, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries. Two sources confirmed their presence at the discussion.
Despite constitutional limitations preventing Trump from pursuing a third term, he has openly entertained the idea. Previously, he showcased the hats to foreign leaders, including Volodymyr Zelensky and Emmanuel Macron.
Political Implications
Trump has repeatedly hinted that he “might want to go on,” even with the constitutional ban in place. Reactions vary; some view this as a provocation, while others consider it a marketing tactic. Regardless, Trump continues to emphasize his political relevance beyond traditional presidential boundaries.
