President Donald Trump’s on-line retailer now sells “Trump 2028” hats for $50 a pop. It’s unclear if that features potential markups on account of his boneheaded commerce battle.
Since profitable the 2024 election, Trump has been peddling self-branded cologne and fragrance, cheesy MAGA guitars, and different MAGA merchandise. However this newest merchandise, an overture to operating for an unconstitutional third time period, is distressing.
Trump has publicly flirted with the thought of operating for a 3rd time period in workplace, telling NBC Information’ Kristen Welker in March that he wasn’t simply being cute about eager to be a dictator.
“I’m not joking,” he stated, later including, “There are methods which you could do it.”
These “methods” would wish to bounce across the twenty second Modification, which clearly states 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 the President more than once.”
No matter occurs within the subsequent 4 years, Trump’s 2028 hats will be a part of the ever-growing pile of rubbish that he’s been hawking for years—together with Bibles, gold sneakers, Presidential Problem Cash, steaks, digital buying and selling playing cards, and vodka.
However there could also be a silver lining to Trump’s crass hucksterism.
At $50, the “Trump 2028” hat is $5 cheaper than his “Make America Great Again” hat, elevating the query: Does the lower cost replicate an absence of demand or enthusiasm from MAGA loyalists?
Are they getting exhausted by all of Trump’s profitable?
