3 articles · Updated · The Independent · Aug 7

Summary

  • Truth Social posts showed Donald Trump in AI-generated images with five iconic U.S. figures and a "Trump 2028" poster, renewing suggestions he could seek another White House run.
  • Those images sharpened a contradiction Trump has already acknowledged: the Constitution bars a third presidential term, yet he keeps publicly teasing the idea.
  • Reporters also pressed Trump on 2028 politics, and he said it was "too early" to back Vice President JD Vance for a possible campaign.
  • Republican allies remain split on the prospect, with House Speaker Mike Johnson recognizing the constitutional limit while Steve Bannon says there is a "plan" for Trump to seek office again.
