The US Constitution limits presidents to two four-year stints in office. Donald Trump has said he still intends to run for a third term and has started selling the hats and t-shirts that say it.

US President Donald Trump's online store is selling merchandise branded with the slogan "Trump 2028" for the country's next presidential election.

The hats, T-shirts and can coolers are available for purchase despite the fact that the US Constitution prohibits presidents from serving three terms.

Trump, who will be 82 in 2028, has not ruled out running in the next presidential election. He has also said he is considering breaching the constitution in order to do so.

What else do we know about the 'Trump 2028' merchandise?

The US president's son Eric Trump was pictured in a photo on social media on Thursday wearing one of the red caps, which costs $50 (about €44).

What does the US Constitution say?

The 22nd Amendment was adopted after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four times.

Roosevelt died at the age of 63, at the beginning of his fourth term, on April 12, 1945.

The amendment, which came into effect in 1951, states that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

While Trump appears set on a third term, amending the country's highest law would require a two-thirds majority in both Congressional chambers.

It would also need to be ratified by at least 38 out of 50 US states, making the prospect seem highly unlikely.

Trump, however, has said there are "methods" to make a third term possible and that he "is not joking" about his intention to run again, but added, "We have a long way to go before we can even think about that."

Trump says he runs the world
The US president has admitted he is enjoying his new term more than his first, when he had to deal with “crooked guys”

 

US President Donald Trump has claimed he is now running not only his country but the whole world, and is “having a lot of fun” with his second presidential term.

The president made the remarks in an interview with The Atlantic, marking his first 100 days in office. Trump shared his experience with the magazine, stating he has been faring far better than early in his first presidency.

”The first time, I had two things to do—run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys,” he stated. “And the second time, I run the country and the world.”

Inquired further on the accounts of individuals close to the US administration, who told the magazine the president appears to be elated most of the time and has a “twinkle in his eye,” Trump confirmed that was the case and he greatly enjoys doing various “serious stuff.”

“I’m having a lot of fun, considering what I do,” he said. “You know, what I do is such serious stuff.”

The president was also asked about his repeated suggestions he could potentially run for office for the third time - despite not having the legal option to do so. The earlier remarks on the matter sparked fears Trump could ultimately opt to rewire the whole US electoral system to try and stay in power, while multiple high-profile Republicans dismissed such suggestions as joking on the president’s part. The concerns have been reinforced by the emergence of ‘Trump 2028’ merch on his official store.

Trump, however, insisted that he has had no actual plans to stay in office beyond his second term, admitting it was a rather complicated thing to do. “It’s not something that I’m looking to do. And I think it would be a very hard thing to do,” Trump stated.
