Seth Meyers on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" (NBC):
"It sounds like his plan is to win the 2024 election so he can redo the 2020 election and win that which would then make him ineligible to win the 2024 election he already won. At which point he starts fading out of inauguration photos Marty McFly-style?"
Seriously, though, this reminder from Seth Meyers:
"You got nothing ... that's over 60 courts and your own lawyers, several of whom have already pleaded guilty and apologized for lying about the election, like Jenna Ellis or Sidney Powell ... In fact, even Rudy, arguably Trump's closest ally when it comes to election lies, admitted: 'We've got lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence.'"
If you like that Marty McFly "Back to the Future" reference in relation to Donald Trump, please see my article: "You Have a Match, and You Know Where the Paper Is": He always prints his name on the matchbook. (14-min read) Medium, Aug 23, 2019. This link is unpaywalled because you are a friend.
Still, in 2025
That theory is wildly wrong (a VP candidate has to be eligible to become president) but why are you tossing him suggestions for how he can violate the Constitution? Who asked this? Is this what we can expect from the new and improved White House press corps?

HUNT: The president is talking about a third term. How seriously do you take that? GALLEGO: I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that

On October 27, Trump taunted: "I haven’t really thought about it. I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had... Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me."
“Senator, is it constitutional for President Trump to run for a third term? He’s teasing that,” a reporter asked Tuberville in a clip posted to the social platform X Tuesday [Oct 28].
“You know, if you read the Constitution, it says it’s not, but if he says he has some, some different circumstances that might be able to go around the Constitution, but that’s up to him. We got a long way to go before that happens,” Tuberville responded.
“But you’re open to it?” the reporter replied.
“Well, I think that there’s going to ... have to be an evaluation from President Trump’s viewpoint to the Constitution. There will be a lot of legal aspects to it. Will it happen? It’s very unlikely, but don’t ever close the book on President Trump,” the Alabama senator said. [emphases mine]
The same day, October 28, Trump said:
“It’s a very interesting thing. I have the best numbers for any president in many years, any president. And I would say that if you read it, it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad, obviously.” [emphasis mine]
