I’ll place a gentlemans bet with you right now that he doesn’t touch the 22nd amendment in any way.
Check back in with me in 4 years to collect your dollar if you’re right. Or you owe me a dollar when he steps down like he is supposed to in January of 2029.
If he’s assassinated or anything else external happens to him the bet is neutralized.
As best as I can tell, the 22nd amendment talks about how no-one can serve more than two terms. It does not, however, give a limit on how long a second term can be.
As such he wouldn’t need to touch that particular amendment to retain power, and so I can’t accept the bet.
It took a minute to find the right place, but the four-year maximum term length is actually set in Article II section 1 of the Constitution proper.
And now bear in mind that Donnie is quoted as being in favour of “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” should the circumstances require it.
He’s going to try it. And since he’s immune from prosecution, what’s going to be done about it if he doesn’t leave?
Either that, or instate emergency powers using the rules already in place. He’s already tested the fence enough to see that the “checks and balances” don’t actually affect what he does.

This is it.
