Overview

• On Fox News Tuesday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham said, “Trump 2028. I hope this never ends,” voicing support for a third Trump term.
• Graham praised Trump's United Nations appearance and highlighted claims that Trump told NATO he would sell them weapons for Ukraine’s use and endorsed shooting down Russian jets that violate allied airspace.
• Critics swiftly pointed to the 22nd Amendment’s bar on a third elected term, labeling Graham’s suggestion unconstitutional.
• Graham has promoted “Trump 2028” before and later called the latest remark “a joke,” even as the slogan continues to circulate.
• Trump has entertained the idea and sold “Trump 2028” merchandise, though he recently said he would “probably not” run, and altering the 22nd Amendment would require broad congressional supermajorities and ratification by three-quarters of states.
