“If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them.’ They’d be out of business,” Trump said. “They’d be out of the election.”

Or just declare that amendment null and void. Then arrest any judge who rules otherwise and replace them with judges that say “The amendment doesn’t specifically say that Trump can’t run for as many terms as he likes, it just bars everyone else.”

I don’t think the constitution will be more than toilet paper at that point.
