Don't know why you're getting downvoted, he is openly stating he plans to try to violate the 22nd amendment of the Constitution[1].
If you think that can't happen, think about this: the Constitution already prohibited him from running as an insurrectionist. Multiple states found that he committed insurrection and the US Supreme Court forced him on their ballots anyway. The reason: they assert that the amendment isn't self-enforcing, and congress must proactively write a law in order to create enforcement measures for the 14th amendment's prohibition on insurrectionists. They didn't, so he was allowed to run and take office.
That same logical jiu-jitsu the GOP used to successfully violate the 14th amendment could just as easily be used on the 22nd.
