Sounds familiar.

Putin served two terms (2000-2008), then one as prime minister (2008-2012) because the Constitution only allowed two consecutive terms. Then the terms were lengthened to six years and he served an additional two terms (2012-2024), during which the Constitution was amended to specify two terms in total, except for terms prior to the amendment. Thus he's now in his fifth and likely sixth terms (2024-2036).

On the bright side Trump is fat, 78 and has probably had at least one stroke already.

The negative impacts of a Trump presidency will be with us for a while, but there's a pretty limited window on how long Trump himself will be no matter what tricks he tries to play.

It is unlikely that Trump will be able to change the Constitution, but he will remain a significant figure in the political landscape until his death. Although he may not be president, he will still serve as the de facto leader of the Republicans, giving him considerable influence regardless of his official position. The next Republican president will likely be prepared to follow his lead.

Probably, though Trump's schtick seems to work better for him than for anybody else -- especially at the national level. He commits to it in a way that nobody else seems able to do.
