    There are shirts that say “Rewrite the rules,” so it’s pretty clear that they know this isn’t allowed and are trying to start early and normalize tearing up the Constitution.

    Also:

    Republican senators on Capitol Hill later downplayed Trump’s comments, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, of South Dakota, telling reporters that Trump couldn’t seek a third term “without a change in the Constitution.”

    Thune also said Trump is “probably messing” with reporters who ask about the possibility of a Trump 2028 campaign.

    So they’re going with the tried-and-true “it’s just a joke, bro” defense, until of course it isn’t.

    Asked to comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred NBC News to the Trump Organization “since it’s their website,” adding, “but it’s a cool hat and I suspect it will be highly popular!”

    New tagline just dropped! “Dictatorship: It’s A Cool Hat and I Suspect It Will Be Highly Popular”
