  • The Trump Organization has begun selling 'Trump 2028' merchandise, fueling speculation about his intentions despite official denials of a formal plan.
  • In interviews, Trump hinted at possible strategies to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, including a vice-presidential route, though legal experts argue such approaches are likely unconstitutional.
