Trump Shows Aliyev ‘Trump 2028’ Cap, Signals Openness to Another Run

Former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the White House, presenting his guest with a souvenir cap emblazoned with “Trump 2028.” During the informal exchange, Trump remarked, “Everybody wants me to run again,” a reference to a potential bid in the 2028 presidential election. Aliyev replied, “Including us,” signaling approval and prompting fresh attention on Trump’s long-running hints that he may seek a return to national politics after completing his current presidential term. Neither side elaborated on any formal campaign plans, and the meeting appeared focused on symbolic gestures rather than policy announcements.
