There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, which is almost everyone (GREAT POLICY IS THE KEY!).
It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???”
Trump’s not-quite-2028 wink
While Trump has been inching toward the edge of “What if…?” territory, he keeps reminding everyone — sort of — that he knows a third term isn’t allowed.
Back in October, aboard Air Force One, Trump mused to reporters:
“Based on what I read, I guess I’m not allowed to run… So we’ll see what happens.”
When CNBC asked him in August if he’d run again, he played it cool:
“No, probably not, probably not. I’d like to… I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”
Steve Bannon, the former Trump adviser and now full-time conservative firebrand behind the mic, has been openly floating the idea of Trump sticking around well past 2028.
Bannon has claimed there’s already a “plan” in motion to re-elect Trump, who will be 82 by the end of his current term, insisting that “people ought to just get accommodated with that.”
“At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ’28,” Bannon said in November.
What about 2028?
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles has also floated the idea of changing the Constitution to allow three presidential terms, which would certainly solve one of Trump’s problems, but probably create 4,000 new ones.
Still, Trump says he’s focused on “four great years” and then handing things off to a worthy successor. And when asked who that might be?
He didn’t hesitate: Vice President JD Vance.
“In all fairness, he’s the vice president,” Trump told CNBC. “And he would be probably favored at this point.”
So while Trump insists he’s not running in 2028, he is absolutely posting like a man who enjoys the speculation — and who might just be testing out political baby names like a proud new father.
TRUMPLICANS, anyone?
