He only can get one more term, so I suppose he can promise whatever at this point. It's not like he's got credibility consequences for lack of follow through at this point.
The swing states and their votes are:

Nevada (6), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), Michigan (15), Pennsylvania (19), and Georgia (16).
He needs 38 electoral votes out of that.
Michigan+Pennsylvania+Wisconsin would do it on their own, and they're all Rust Belt states, so I figure that promising protectionist policy on manufacturing is probably gonna sell well there.

Until the corrupt Supreme Court decides to adopt the "unconstitutional constitutional amendment" doctrine and gets rid of that pesky 22nd amendment.
Moot point though because the old fuck will probably die before a third term is even on the table.
SCOTUS wouldn't rule that. The whole idea of a corrupt judiciary is just a back lash at originalism gaining favor over living constitutionalism. They aren't 'evil' they just don't have a judicial philosophy from the 1960s.
if you don't think (at least) Thomas, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanuagh are outright malevolent self-serving sociopathic evil - you haven't been paying any attention.
I'll just leave these here:

The US Constitution prevents this: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-22/
You say that as if the rule of law matters in a dictatorship.
Implying there was ever a point where this wasn't true.
