People have noticed a new sign which suggests Donald Trump could be interested in running for a third term as President of the United States.

On Monday (18 August), Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelenskyy, alongside NATO's Secretary General and several other European leaders to discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine.

The meeting was fortunately much better than February's infamous Oval Office bust-up, with Trump greeting Zelenskyy warmly, complimenting his outfit and floating the possibility of a trilateral meeting between the pair and Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Which meant that Zelenskyy, Starmer and the rest of Europe's heads of state could breathe a small sigh of relief on the flight out of Washington D.C.

Various photo-ops from the day have since begun to trickle onto the internet, with one image in particular leaving people 'seriously concerned'.

In an image shared on X by Special Assistant to the President Margo Martin, Trump can be seen showing France's Emmanuel Macron, Zelenskyy and a third visitor the White House's official Donald Trump merch stand.

The corner is decked out with everything the 79-year-old and his supporters could ever wish for, including Trump branded towels, books, candles (presumably in his signature 'Make America Great Again' scent) and of course plenty of baseball hats.

However, it was the inclusion of hats emblazoned 'Trump 2028' and '4 more years', which caused concern about the president's future political ambitions.

"Sorry, why exactly isn’t this seriously concerning anyone," penned one person in response to the image.

"I’ve never seen a photo that better sums up Trump’s America," added a second, while a third wrote: "I feel people (media) think he's trolling, but everything he's been doing now is a step closer to taking control over America so that he remains in power."

Could Donald Trump run for a third term in office?

Trump has spent a good deal of his third term in office flip-flopping over the possibility of a third stab at the presidency.

The 'Trump 2028' hats previously received backlash after appearing on the MAGA website, despite the US constitution prohibiting anyone from having more than two terms as president.

He'd followed this up by saying he was 'not joking' about seeking a third term in office – only to later say it was 'fake news media'.

A third term in office isn't the only time in which Trump has flirted with the notion of extending his stay in office, with the businessman making a rather chilling joke after Zelenskyy explained that Ukraine has suspended presidential elections due to Russia's ongoing invasion.

"So let me just say... three-and-a-half years from now... we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections," Trump responded. "Ohh, that's good."

Nobody test this theory by finding oil in the next few years...
