Whitehouse Merch With Trump 2028 Rubs People The Wrong Way

During an impromptu meeting that diverged from the official White House tour, President Donald Trump welcomed Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for peace talks. Trump led them into a room adorned with “Trump 2028” and “4 More Years” merchandise instead of the typical presidential emblems. As cameras captured the moment, Trump showcased a branded cap, jesting, “Everyone wants me to run again," prompting an awkward response from Aliyev. This incident arose shortly after the Supreme Court granted presidents total immunity for actions taken while in office, inciting concerns among critics who viewed it as a blatant disregard for the Constitution’s two-term limit. While Republicans sought to shift focus to Trump's negotiating efforts abroad, detractors perceived the merchandise display as emblematic of his transactional style and troubling pursuit of power. Critics, including Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson, condemned Trump’s perceived prioritization of image over governance, illustrating the tense landscape of American politics as he entertained notions of a potential third term, despite constitutional constraints.
