California Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed a telling detail Wednesday of a private meeting between him and President Donald Trump earlier this year that he said made clear the president’s plans for 2028.

“He showed me a painting; he said ‘turn around,’ and I said 'oh, there's (former President Franklin D. Roosevelt),’” Newsom said, speaking at a summit in Sacramento, California hosted by Politico.

“Then he went on and on about the third term…I don't think Donald Trump wants another election. I have two dozen Trump 2028 hats his folks keep sending me.”

Newsom said the meeting, which he described as “a hell of a 90 minutes,” made clear that Trump intended to serve a third term in the White House come 2028. The crowd at the summit could be heard laughing at some of Newsom’s remarks, to which he urged them to “wake up” to what he characterized as a serious threat to democracy.

“Who spends $200 million on a ballroom at their home and then leaves the house?” Newsom said.

“This is serious guys… He tried to light democracy on fire, he dialed for almost 12,000 votes, now he's doing it in plain sight and people say 'oh, just Trump being Trump.' People actually think this guy's serious about having another election? You think he's joking about 2028? He brings foreign leaders to the Oval Office and he goes to the White House store and he shows them the 2028 hats.”

Trump is already selling “Trump 2028” hats on his official “Trump Store” website, priced at $50 each, and has hinted at a third term in office on numerous occasions.

"A lot of people want me to do it," Trump said back in April, regarding the idea of serving a third term. "There are methods which you could do it."

Newsom, taking the president at his word, said Trump’s history spoke for itself as far as whether the president’s potential bid for a third term should be taken seriously.

“This guy doesn't believe in free and fair elections, he tried to wreck this country,” Newsom said. “Were you there Jan. 6?”
