"Internet users weren't sure whether to laugh or cry after the president's Trump Store, run by the Trump Organization, unveiled 2028 campaign hats on Thursday.
President Donald Trump has made multiple comments about running for a third term. Last month, he told reporters on Air Force One he was not joking.
'I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the other election, the 2020 election was totally rigged,' Trump stated on March 31. 'I don't want to talk about a third term now because no matter how you look at it, we've got a long time to go,' he continued."

![Joyce Vance Civil Discourse “Trump’s Third Term” 4/1/2025
[It makes me sick to my stomach that 45% of Americans still think he is just fine. And 50% with immigration.]
In the most current Reuters/Ipsos poll, 45% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance. He comes in slightly higher, around 50%, when people are asked about immigration. George W. Bush had a 90% approval rating following Sept. 11, 2001.
Still, the notion of Trump running for a third term in office continues to surface. At a House Republican retreat in January, Trump told the crowd, in that way he has of suggesting he is about to do something impermissible, “I think I’'m not allowed to run again.” Turning to Speaker Mike Johnson he asked, “Am I allowed to run again, Mike?” The answer is resoundingly no. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, added in 1951 after President Franklin Roosevelt’s four terms in office, provides that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.”
But that didn’t keep Steve Bannon from calling for Trump to run again, during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). He told the crowd, "We want Trump in 28.”](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/263/389/045/222/415/original/2b428a1fc5ac4b8d.jpeg "Joyce Vance Civil Discourse “Trump’s Third Term” 4/1/2025
