AI Trump runs even if real one can't
Amid all the spectacle, Trump reminds all of the law that governs the presidency. “I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.”

The country has settled into its newest civic pastime: watching Donald Trump repeatedly insist he knows he can’t run for a third term while simultaneously surrounding himself with enough “Trump 2028” merchandise to qualify as an unofficial gift shop.
The latest entry came in the form of an AI-generated image on Truth Social showing Trump holding a blue sign declaring, “TRUMP 2028, YES!” — a slogan that politely sidesteps the 22nd Amendment the way one steps over a puddle: by pretending it isn’t there. The caption, “TRUMPLICANS!”, helpfully announced the formation of a political identity that seems to consist primarily of an exclamation point.
For those keeping track, this follows the September moment when Trump posted photos of “Trump 2028” hats arranged neatly on his desk while meeting with Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, an arrangement so subtle it could have been mistaken for psychological warfare décor.
Then came October’s video, a carefully edited loop in which Trump’s imagined future campaigns march forward through time until the year “90,000” — a point at which historians predict humanity may have evolved beyond chairs, but apparently not beyond campaign signage. The clip repurposed old material and upgraded it into a kind of political screensaver: Trump as eternal candidate, eternal victor, eternal content.
Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire.

The imagery has become its own ecosystem. There is Trump “chiseled and brawny”, Trump as a Jedi wielding a patriot-red lightsaber, a golden Trump reclaiming Gaza and transforming it into a luxury resort, Trump as pope, Trump as king, as slayer of deep state — each scenario presented with the confidence of a man who knows reality has become just one of several available options.
And yet, amid all the spectacle, Trump still pauses to remind reporters of the law that governs the presidency. “If you read it, it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.” he said aboard Air Force One in late October, as if delivering the final line of a legal drama.

But no sooner are the words spoken than another AI image materializes — a digital version of the president performing tasks that no constitutional amendment has yet thought to prohibit. His team’s constantly at it -- announcing vibes, atmospheres, possibilities, a speculative-fiction presidency powered entirely by graphics.
The irony, of course, is that Trump has made obeying the two-term limit look almost indistinguishable from test-marketing its loopholes.
