I think this is how Trump would try for a third term

Remember how Justice Barrett was interviewed and said the 22nd Amendment was law, but also said something to the effect that it had never been challenged?

So Trump runs for a third term-
-Some states refuse to put him on the ballot, claiming the 22nd Amendment-
-Trump sues, and appeals, eventually goes to the Supremes-

-and guess who wins, 6-3?

Not going to happen.

Even this SCOTUS will not rule that 2=3.

Dozens of republicans are chomping at the bit to run in 2028, when Trump will be 82.

Because the Constitution doesn't specify that candidate must be alive, it doesn’t forbid a dead person from running, does it?

I’m saying this with only a certain amount of sarcasm
