A detail on hats in Trump’s White House “merch room” raises serious concern
Donald Trump’s extensive collection of MAGA hats has drawn attention during White House visits with foreign leaders. He recently showed the assortment to Presidents Zelenskyy and Macron, turning what was once a presidential study into a display of branded merchandise.
The room now features items like golden “Never Surrender” sneakers and luxury ties, alongside an array of hats. Trump often encourages guests to take souvenirs, fostering an atmosphere some critics compare to a “gift shop.”
His hat collection has evolved significantly. While red “MAGA” hats dominated his first term, newer designs include varied colors and slogans. One particularly controversial addition is a hat labeled “Trump 2028,” suggesting a potential third-term bid.
This has sparked legal and constitutional concerns, as the 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms. Online reactions range from curiosity to alarm, with some wondering if the hat hints at broader political intentions.
Discussions about a 2028 run are not new. Trump has acknowledged public interest but claims his focus remains on the present. However, allies like Steve Bannon have openly predicted his return to power.
Unofficial merchandise with slogans such as “Rewrite the Rules” has already appeared, hinting at efforts to circumvent term limits. Some observers speculate that extreme circumstances could be used to justify extending a presidency.
Whether these hints are serious or symbolic, the “Trump 2028” conversation is growing. The hats have become more than merchandise—they are symbols stirring national debate about power, precedent, and the Constitution.
