It is the latest hint that the former president intends to run for a third term in 2024.
Photos of Eric Trump’s golf bag strongly suggest his father plans to run for president in 2024.
The photos, which show “Trump 2024” emblazoned with an American flag on a navy blue golf bag, suggest that former President Donald Trump intends to put his hat back in the ring.

Trump has not officially announced plans to run for a third term, but those close to him expect an announcement soon.
However, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Kellyanne Conway are among a growing chorus of voices urging him to wait until the midterms to announce his candidacy.
The photos of the golf bag, the latest indication that the 2024 announcement is a near certainty, were taken Thursday at the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The father and son kicked off ahead of the controversial Saudi-backed LIV tournament, which began on Friday.
Insider reported that critics have called LIV Golf an example of “sportswashing” – capitalizing on the public’s love of sports to boost Saudi Arabia’s global reputation and act as a distraction from its human rights abuses.
The former president using the presidential seal on his golf gear at LIV Golf also sparked controversy. For example, his EZ-GO stroller and towel were branded with the presidential seal.
The logo is intended to be used for official government activities only. Using it at a private event could violate federal law and, in theory, lead to fines or up to six months in jail.
Insider reached out to the former president’s office for comment Saturday morning, but did not immediately hear back.
