Alternatively, Trump creates enough of a Republican super-majority in 2020 to push for a Constitutional amendment, which gets rid of the post-FDR Constitutional amendment limiting Presidents to 2 terms.

The Dems had a 4-term President, so why can't we have a 3-term one (assuming Trump is up for the task)?

FDR was a bigger root cause of all the awful bullshit that made the swamp what it is: His horrific economic policies made the US economy take much longer to recover from the 1929 stock market crash, he caused a SECOND market crash in 1936 (with the economy only recovering in the 1940s because WW2 forced FDR to STOP MESSING WITH OUR ECONOMY, instead wasting massive amounts of military resources by trying to control all aspects of the military by a central committee rather than delegating to the actual experts), he added on MASSIVELY to the income tax levels FOR DECADES AFTER HIS TERM ENDED (they were around 5% or less of our GDP before FDR came in, and ever since the 1940s, it has been an average of 15-20%), he created many of the Alphabet Agencies that we know and hate today, he started the "Social Security" scam, and so much more.

If anything, we were only able to push so quickly for the anti-FDR Constitutional Amendment precisely BECAUSE Truman was less of a dictator than FDR, and thus wasn't able to single-handedly keep a tight leash on the media like FDR had done.

Finally: Yes, Trump's kids running in the future would be better for our Representative Republic than Trump himself running for another term, but it should not be considered a "dynasty", as that has some negative connotations (see: the violent revolutions that ended the power of most monarchies around the world, the incompetent dynasty of the Bush family, the four families that have maintained a constant control over California for decades, etc.). None of Trump's kids are guaranteed any political endorsements or any votes, they would have to run with solid campaigns/policies, and they'd have to show just as much competence in political debate as Trump has shown in these past 4 years.
