If the law stays the same, he can’t serve more than two terms and this will be his second. Possible that if he gets in a second time, I doubt he cares if anyone votes again.

That is what I was hoping he is referring to. But if I’m completely honest, the “I will make myself King of Murica” approach sounds more realistic

The law will not stay the same if he wins.

He could do a Putin, where terms just switch with a subordinate, and he can extend it forever.

I would certainly not trust anything he says to eventually have a good purpose.
