The most common method is to declare yourself president for life.

It's 2025 and the guy is talking about 2028 like he's not going to be bug shit by then.
- Strom Thurmond hit triple digits, Ol' turtleface McConnell is 83 and is simply retiring. One would hope the cheeseburgers and diet cokes would have taken care of Donny years ago but here we are.
  
  I give it 1 in 4 chances on the low end that he goes down sometime during this term of what a clinical sort of person might term "natural causes", despite that nothing about his existence is natural.

Lol, after being explained why option 1 won't work:
Trump replied, “Well, that’s one.”
“But there are others too. There are others.”
When pushed to detail those methods, Trump said, “No.”
- It's start a war, he'll start a war and differ elections.

There are methods for removing dictators from leadership too. Hopefully he understands that.

He might change his name and undergo transition to a woman? Donna Trumpet maybe?
- Here you go enjoy:

  Brilliant, cheers for sharing! So accurate. Trump cheese sounds yummy

Well.... If he starts "real" war, he can try to use the FDR case.
- I think that's exactly the "methods" he's exploring.
  Convince another country to drop a nuke and you might be able to be a wartime president for 10 more years.
  
  I wouldn’t stand for it.
  
  No other country is going to launch a nuclear first strike. None. MAD still exists and anyone willing to launch a first strike is a liability that will be destroyed by every other country adhering to MAD.
