If Trump does lose, and runs again in 2024, it wouldn't be the first.

Grover Cleveland, in 1884 was the 22nd President.

In 1888, he lost to Benjamin Harrison, but ran again in 1892, winning a second term.

I would wager, instead, Trump will have full blown dementia by then, or perhaps not even be alive.

He almost assuredly is going to fracture the republican party between now and then, so that might actually be a good thing for the mid term election.

BUT, he WILL win the nomination and as with the last time the spineless POS party will fall in line, and we WILL see the kind of turnout for him that we saw this time ...
