Donald Trump has once again stirred the pot regarding his political ambitions, hinting at a desire for an extended reign that goes far beyond the traditional limits. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump showcased a video that humorously depicted him as president in the distant future, specifically the year 90,000. This bizarre clip, which is an edited version of a 2018 TIME article about Trumpism, presents a vision of eternal leadership, igniting a mix of amusement and approval from his supporters.
In the video, Trump appears alongside a pro-Trump lawn sign, with the date escalating into the far-off future. Accompanied by the iconic music from Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” the clip features Trump erupting with enthusiastic proclamations such as “EEEEEE” and “4EVA.” This unique portrayal found a receptive audience among his MAGA followers, many of whom took to social media to express their support. Comments like “I’m good with that” and “We need to clone him!” reflect the fervor that continues to surround his persona.
Though discussions of a possible third presidential term in 2028 are already in the air, the U.S. Constitution currently prohibits such a re-election. Nevertheless, Trump has frequently indicated his intentions to run again. Following insights from biographer Michael Wolff on the Daily Beast, where he suggested a third term could be achievable, the White House responded with an optimistic image of Trump surrounded by “Trump 2028” hats, which are actively being sold in his online store.
Wolff also elaborated on the nature of power and its implications for Trump, stating, “An authoritarian breaks so many rules and makes so many enemies that in order to avoid retribution, he has to stay in power. That is the nature of the game that is being played.” This underscores the competitive and often tumultuous political landscape in which Trump operates.
Amidst the whimsical elements of the campaign and discussions about his potential future, this glimpse into a Trump presidency stretching into the year 90,000 highlights the fervent support that remains rooted among his base, demonstrating how his influence continues to permeate modern politics.
