SHOCK CLAIM: Trump Says He Was Offered $250 MILLION to Run for an “Unconstitutional Third Term” in 2028

In a bombshell that lit up social media late Wednesday, President Donald Trump allegedly revealed that unnamed billionaire donors privately offered him a staggering $250 million war chest to pursue a third presidential term in 2028, despite the 22nd Amendment explicitly barring any president from serving more than two terms. According to multiple sources close to Mar-a-Lago, Trump made the explosive claim during a closed-door dinner with supporters, saying the offer was presented as a way to “save the country” from what the donors called an inevitable slide into socialism.

The figure itself, $250 million, would shatter every previous record for a single-candidate campaign fund. For context, Trump’s entire 2020 re-election effort raised roughly $1.6 billion across four years; the alleged offer would hand him a quarter of that amount in one lump sum before a single vote is even cast. Insiders say the president laughed off the proposal but told the room, “They’re terrified of what happens when I’m not on the ballot. They literally begged me to find a way.”

The constitutional roadblock is obvious. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951 after Franklin Roosevelt’s four terms, states plainly: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Legal scholars across the spectrum immediately dismissed any realistic path forward. Even creative theories floated by some MAGA legal advisors (repeal the amendment, declare the 2020 election “null,” or run as vice president and then ascend) are universally considered fantasy by constitutional experts.

Yet the mere fact that such an offer was reportedly made reveals the panic gripping some of America’s wealthiest conservative donors. With Trump constitutionally termed-out after 2028 and no clear successor commanding his level of loyalty, many fear the movement he built could fracture. Names like Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and even Donald Trump Jr. are floated as heirs, but none have shown they can replicate the former president’s unique hold on the GOP base.

The White House has not officially commented on the claim, though Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called it “another example of how desperately the elite want President Trump back in power.” Trump himself fueled the fire Thursday morning with a Truth Social post that read simply: “They offered me $250M to break a ‘little rule’ they wrote after FDR scared them. Tempting, but we’ll do it the right way. 2028 is going to be WILD.”

Whether the $250 million figure is exact, exaggerated, or pure political theater, the story has already achieved its goal: it dominates the conversation, reminds Republican donors that Trump remains the sun around which the party orbits, and keeps the base energized about a future that, constitutionally, cannot include him as the nominee. In Trumpworld, sometimes the rumor is more powerful than the reality.

One thing is certain: as long as Donald Trump keeps dropping these kinds of grenades, the 2028 Republican primary will feel like it started yesterday, term limits or not.
