Key Facts
The red, “Make America Great Again”-esque hats are selling for $50 on the Trump Sore website, and the product description reads: “Make a statement with this Made in America Trump 2028 hat.”
The hats’ description does not have any direct indication whether they’re meant to support a third term for Donald Trump, or have some other meaning, like the candidacy of one of his family members.
Eric Trump, one of the president’s sons and vice president of the Trump Organization, posted an Instagram story Thursday morning wearing the hat and linking to the website.
Trump, who is serving his second term as president, has not ruled out the possibility of running for a third term, saying “there are methods” that can make it possible, despite the Constitution saying no one can serve more than two terms as president.
The White House referred Forbes to the Trump Organization when asked to comment, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond.
