Trolling Trump: 2028 Tease Sends Leftists into Meltdown

Under this theory, Trump could be the vice-presidential running mate to another candidate, such as current VP JD Vance — in the 2028 election. If they win, Vance could be sworn in and then immediately resign — letting Trump take over by succession.

Trolling Trump: 2028 Tease Sends Leftists into Meltdown

Trolling master Donald Trump has Democrats clutching their pearls with a cheeky hint at a 2028 presidential run. The mere whisper of a third term has California Governor Gavin Newsom spinning wild tales of Trump as a dictator who’ll never leave the White House. Why’s this got the left in a tizzy? Because Trump’s playing them like a fiddle, and they’re dancing to his tune.

Trolling or Tyranny? Newsom’s Wild Conspiracy

Donald Trump talks with California governor Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles in January.

Newsom’s latest meltdown claims Trump’s eyeing a forever presidency, citing a White House ballroom plan as evidence. Seriously? A dance floor equals dictatorship? Meanwhile, Trump’s coy “probably not” on running again keeps the left hyperventilating, proving he’s the king of getting under their skin.

On Aug. 27, Newsom claimed that he has been sent a couple of dozen Trump 2028 hats by MAGA world. Newsom used this to proclaim, “I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election.” He then added that Trump’s plans to build a new ballroom in the White House reinforce the notion that he does not plan to depart after two terms, the maximum allowed by the Constitution — who builds a ballroom and then leaves? But then came the piece de resistance: When he met with Trump in the Oval Office in February, the president pointed out a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, which Newsom took as evidence that Trump has his eye on a third term (FDR served three terms before the passage of the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two full terms). Yup, the governor fell for it.

Trump’s Trolling Genius: Baiting the Left

President Donald Trump, right, arrives to speak as Vice President JD Vance looks on before Trump signs an executive order in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on August 5 in Washington, D.C.

Trump’s no stranger to poking the bear. His vague “methods” for a third term and merchandise like Trump 2028 hats have Democrats screaming “threat to democracy” on repeat. Yet, it’s just Trump chuckling as the left falls for his bait, hook, line, and sinker.

Constitutional Trolling? No Third Term Allowed

The 12th Amendment only states that one who is “constitutionally ineligible to the office of President” cannot be Vice President. The 22nd Amendment’s language is limited to those who can be “elected to the office of the President.” There are three (sort of four) separate ways one can become President. The 22nd Amendment’s text only bars a “termed out” President from one of those ways of becoming President.

Could Trump actually run again? Spoiler: the Constitution says no. The 22nd Amendment caps presidents at two terms, and legal experts laugh off loopholes like VP succession. Still, Trump’s trolling keeps the left up at night, dreaming of his eternal reign.

Why Conservatives Love the Trolling Show

Conservatives are eating this up. Trump’s in-your-face style and refusal to bow to progressive outrage make him a hero to those who crave pushback against woke dogma. Plus, watching Newsom squirm is just icing on the MAGA cake. X user ChatByCC posted on X supporting a Trump third term:

Trolling Toward 2028: What’s Next?

Trump’s trolling isn’t just for laughs—it’s a masterclass in keeping the spotlight. While Newsom’s busy conjuring dictator fantasies, Trump’s setting the stage for 2028 GOP contenders like JD Vance. Will the left ever learn to ignore the bait, or keep biting? 

Final Thoughts and The Burning Question

This whole saga shows Trump’s still got the left wrapped around his finger. His 2028 teases are less about running and more about reminding everyone who’s boss at triggering meltdowns. So, here’s the big question: Can Democrats ever outsmart Trump’s trolling, or will they keep falling for the oldest trick in his playbook?
