US President Suggests 2028 Bid with AI-Generated Image
Washington, Nov 29 — In a striking move that has sparked considerable discourse, US President Donald Trump shared an AI-created image on his Truth Social platform. The graphic features him prominently holding a blue placard emblazoned with the phrase “TRUMP 2028, YES!”
Accompanied by the caption “TRUMPLICANS!”, a portmanteau of “Trump” and “Republicans”, the post has reignited discussions surrounding the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment, which restricts presidents to two elected terms.
This digital missive emerges nearly ten months into Trump’s second non-consecutive term, which commenced on January 20, 2025.
During this period, he is collaborating with a Republican-controlled Congress to further his “America First 2.0” agenda, emphasizing stricter immigration policies and increased tariffs on key trading nations.
The “Trump 2028” motif has not only surfaced on various merchandise but has also found its way into subtle references at public events, establishing itself as a recurring theme throughout his current term.
In September, Trump showcased “Trump 2028” hats during an Oval Office meeting with Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, further embedding the notion into the political landscape.
In October, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a notable Republican figure, attempted to downplay the implications, suggesting that the president was merely indulging in lighthearted banter.
“There exists the 22nd Amendment… I believe the president is well aware of it. We have discussed the constraints of the Constitution,” he informed the press during a news conference.
Trump, for his part, also appeared to recognize the constitutional boundaries, stating, “I’m not allowed to run; it’s unfortunate,” in comments made last month.
Recent polling from McLaughlin and Associates indicates that Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is garnering increasing support among Republican constituents as a potential contender for the 2028 nomination. He is positioning himself as a formidable rival to Vice President JD Vance.
- In August, Vance held a 20-point advantage, commanding 36% support compared to Trump Jr.’s 16%.
- By October, the contest began to tighten: Vance secured 38%, while Trump Jr. climbed to 20%, thereby narrowing the gap to 18 points.
- The trend seems to persist into November, with Vance’s lead diminishing to 10 points, as his support fell to 34% and Trump Jr. advanced to 24%.
