"Trump 2028" hats seen on Oval Office desk during Trump meeting with lawmakers President Trump has posted pictures that show "Trump 2028 hats" in the Oval Office during his meeting earlier this week with congressional leaders. CBS News correspondent Natalie Brand reports.

This shows how serious the "deal master" was about making a deal with Democratic leaders. Trump 2028 = a sign of the Apocalypse.

It was an insult to those real soldiers, who are almost all decorated vets, to have that fathead rant at them about "fat generals" with his obese Commander nodding approvingly.
