Trump Teases 2028 Presidential Run—Because Apparently Four Years Wasn’t Enough Drama
Hold onto your MAGA hats—Donald Trump just dropped his latest political bombshell. The former president, never one to shy away from the spotlight, hinted he’s eyeing another White House bid in 2028. Because why settle for one comeback when you can have two?
### The Art of the (Never-Ending) Campaign
Trump’s playbook hasn’t changed: keep ’em guessing, keep ’em talking. Whether it’s crypto rallies or political rallies, the man knows how to work a crowd. And let’s be real—his timing is impeccable. Just as the 2024 race heats up, he’s already plotting his next move. Classic Trump.
### Market Reactions? Probably Volatile
If history’s any indicator, this announcement will send shockwaves through more than just politics. Remember when Trump tweets moved crypto markets? Imagine what a full-blown campaign could do. Brace for impact, traders—this one’s gonna be a rollercoaster. And hey, at least it’s not another stablecoin collapse.
### The Bottom Line
Love him or hate him, Trump knows how to dominate a news cycle. Whether this is a genuine plan or just another headline grab, one thing’s certain: the man’s a master of the game. And in a world where attention is the ultimate currency, he’s still printing money.
Donald Trump Talks Third Term Despite Constitutional Limits
In an August 5 interview with the media program, the newly inaugurated U.S. president hinted at his desire to run for a constitutionally prohibited third term.
“I’d like to run,” Trump said. “I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”
Touting his 2024 win and “the best poll numbers,” President Donald Trump told CNBC on Tuesday that “I’d like to run again."
But asked by the "Squawk Box" hosts if he will attempt to seek a third term in 2028, Trump replied, “Probably not.” https://t.co/LyGqubR8Qy
Trump indicated in March that he could seek out an additional term in 2028, telling NBC News’ Kristin Welker that he has “methods” he can pursue.
“You know, we’re very popular,” he told NBC at the time. “And you know, a lot of people WOULD like me to do that.”
Ratified on February 27, 1951, the 22nd Amendment strictly prohibits people from being elected to the office of the presidency more than twice.
Should Trump choose to seek re-election at the end of his second term, he would be in direct violation of the Constitution.
Polymarket Bettors Place 2028 Odds
Polymarket bettors have already made their predictions for the 48th president come 2028—a new poll on the decentralized prediction market shows.
According to the poll, 55% of Polymarket bettors predict that U.S. Vice President JD Vance will become the next U.S. president, while just 4% believe Trump will continue for a third term.
Other potential candidates favored by Polymarket bettors include United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, media personality Tucker Carlson, and Florida Governor RON DeSantis.
Trump, who largely campaigned on enacting crypto-friendly regulations, has faced scrutiny in recent weeks over his potential association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s political opponents have also criticized his ventures in the blockchain space, particularly in regard to his namesake $TRUMP memecoin.
However, whether Polymarket bettors are correct in their predictions remains to be seen.
