Trump advisors have already stated point blank they are actively working on ways to end run the constitution and have him run for a third term. Besides that, he hasn't paid any attention to the constitution up until now, and his base is totally fine with it. We're in a very interesting era now where the constitution, and the rule of law, no longer applies to the most powerful (unless of course they fall out with trump). If Trump runs for a third term, I can pretty much guarantee he'll run for a forth, fifth, etc, until he dies. And I fully expect he will announce his successor at some point.
Meanwhile a combination of Democrat incompetence and the culmination of GOP efforts to subvert voting through gerrymandering and other underhanded tactics (see North Carolina for a recipe) means we are unlikely to see any Democratic president for the foreseeable future.
If Trump bows out as he should, the next guy is definitely going to use all the power that Trump amassed, along with presidential immunity from law, to its full extent. That is very scary.
