BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Trump Organization has started selling merchandise emblazoned with the slogan "Trump 2028", raising questions about President Donald Trump's intentions beyond his current term. The red hats, priced at $50, and matching T-shirts, available for $36, are available through the organization’s online store.

Described as a bold fashion statement, the high-crown hat features "Trump 2028" in bright white embroidery, along with the phrase "Rewrite the Rules", suggesting a provocative stance on political norms.

Third-term ambitions?

While the US Constitution's 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms, Trump and his allies have repeatedly teased the idea of a third term. In a recent phone interview with NBC News, Trump said, "A lot of people want me to do it," referring to the possibility of running again in 2028.

He added, "We have a long way to go, you know, it's very early in the administration," without explicitly ruling out the idea. Trump also remarked, “There are methods which you could do it,” when asked if advisors had discussed ways to bypass term limits.

Eric Trump shares merchandise online

Eric Trump, the president's son and a key executive at the Trump Organization, posted a photo on social media wearing the Trump 2028 hat. Alongside the image, he included screenshots of emails from journalists seeking clarification on the campaign-like merchandise.

The Trump Organization has not officially responded to media inquiries regarding the sale or its implications. The marketing move, however, has sparked renewed debate about Trump's future political plans and his continued influence over US politics.

Trump keen on running again

Trump said in March that he was serious about the idea of seeking a third presidential term, despite the US Constitution barring it. However, he added that it was too early to consider taking such a step.

Trump, who kickstarted his second, non-consecutive term on January 20, has previously hinted at the possibility of a third term but addressed it directly in a telephone interview with NBC News.

"No, I'm not joking. I’m not joking," Trump said. However, he added, "It is far too early to think about it."

The current president suggested that there are "methods" to pursue a third term but declined to provide details.

Under the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, presidents are limited to two four-year terms, whether consecutive or not.

More than 50% of Americans disappointed with Trump's team

The poll indicated that 52% of those surveyed expressed general disappointment with Trump's appointees, while 45% of respondents stated that they generally supported the candidates selected by the president, revealing a divide in public opinion on his choices.

Conducted among 1,000 adult US citizens from March 7-11, the poll took place before the scandalous leaks of a Signal chat involving Trump's senior administration officials, providing insight into public opinion prior to the controversy.

Conducted during Trump's first term in December 2016, the poll revealed that 44% of those sampled were dissatisfied with his team, while 43% expressed support for the candidates appointed by Trump, highlighting a closely divided public opinion.
