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)?
Yeah, a Constitutional Amendment is a bit of a stretch even for Trump, given how wide the party divide is.
According to Ballotpedia, Republicans have 21 trifectas now, with 4 more "likely"/"possible"/"tossup" trifectas possible. If they hold onto all of their current trifectas AND gain all of the red/"tossup" new trifectas predicted this cycle, they would still need to earn 13 new trifectas in 2022 to have a Constitutional Supermajority. https://ballotpedia.org/Trifecta_vulnerability_in_the_2020_elections
Either way, an easier option than "challenging the 22nd amendment for a VP run" would be "just have Mike Pence run as Prez while one of his kids (most likely DJT Jr., since he's the oldest) runs as Pence's VP, so that Pence gets his time to shine and Trump's kids get some more on-the-job experience."

You aren't getting 38 states with Republican trifectas anytime soon though.
I'd like to see Trump run as VP and challenge the 22nd amendment wording.
