The only reason he wouldn't run for a third term is if he died in office. Which he probably will either way since I'm not expecting those elections to be fair. (I know it sounds crazy but they've broken so much in just 5 months and we're on the verge of war and martial law.)
And he has incentive to stay in office too: the main reason he ran was to stay out of prison. It was either prison or president.
That would require the federal election committee to violate the constitution by putting him on the ballot, then the same for every State government. This is an order of magnitude beyond the attempts to keep him off the ballots for Jan 6, as he was never convicted of or tried for it. The Supreme Court would need to destroy the constitution to rule favorably on it, and thus remove all their own power as the third branch of government.
The US is not yet as corrupt as the CCP or Russia, and Trump doesn't have the political and personal capital of Xi or Putin to rewrite the constitution to allow more/unlimited presidential terms.
I'm not holding my breath, honestly. A Democrat was shot and killed in her home by a MAGA terrorist and the GOP is taking the piss. They might not be there yet, but the intention is loud and clear.
