You are not entitled

No, you orange asshole, you are not entitled to it.

Twenty-Second Amendment

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Nothing in the 22nd Amendment says you can be President for more than two terms.

NOTHING.

Even if you try some sneaky ass trick like being Vice President or Speaker of the House, that still doesn’t entitle you to another term. It’s fixed, at two. You’re done at the end of your current term. In 2028 we will have a new President, not you, or there will be a real mess for you to deal with.
