Under the current U.S. Constitution, Donald Trump cannot serve a third term as president due to the 22nd Amendment, which limits a person to two terms in office. However, his real priority may not be returning to power but staying out of prison. One potential strategy is running J.D. Vance or another devoted sycophant as a puppet candidate, winning the election and then switching places through resignation or a legal loophole. If that fails, he could rely on a presidential pardon from his chosen successor. A constitutional amendment to overturn term limits is a long shot, requiring two-thirds ratification, making it politically impossible. That leaves the final, most dangerous option: seizing power extra-constitutionally. Given his past refusal to accept defeat, Trump and his allies could contest election results, declare a national emergency, or simply refuse to leave the White House. If backed into a corner with no escape, he may even barricade himself inside and force a deadly standoff, suicide by cop rather than surrender to the reality of wearing orange.
Trump announces the possibility of running for a third term - By hook or by crook.

Putin had the Russian constitution amended to allow for it. Even if amending the American constitution was possible at this point, I doubt it is btw, I'm not entirely sure Trump would win but a lot can change in four yearsWho was it that put a placeholder president in place to get around term limits?

Yep, but USA system super clear. It's an amendment to the constitution. 3/4ths of the states would have to approve a new amendment ending that. That won't happen.
This is more likely fodder to distract from some other shit Trump is doing now.
or maybe Canadian Radical Lunatics will attack USA before the elections and President
The POS and his imbeciles are definitely planning for it as long as he's alive.
Not really.
Trump is - as he has for a while now - stating an intent.
How he does it is something that comes later and worrying about "what legal trickery will he use" is pretty pointless.
He doesn't intend to let go of power.
Believe him.
