I'm curious what makes you believe Trump won't attempt, and succeed, to exceed the term limit set by the 22nd Amendment? There's a pretty obvious loophole with the word "elected," so he can circumvent by preventing elections.

I'm also just not sure where faith comes from that the constitution won't at this point just be interpreted per the needs of the administration, or simply ignored with no consequence.

I think the sentence in which I express that is pretty clear on why (emphasis added): “I'm pretty confident that he WILL be a somewhat dictatorial leader for life, but I think there are pretty good odds that this does not involve exceeding the maximum term limit set by the 22nd Amendment.”
