Serving more than two terms barred under 22nd amendment.
UK Bookies Offering 50/1 For Trump to Win a Third Term
UK betting firm Ladbrokes is offering odds of 50/1 for Donald Trump to win a third term in office.
The bookmakers are offering the bet for Trump “to be sitting president on Feb 1st 2025 in 3rd term.” Trump is also at 10/1 to the the Republican nominee in 2024.
Under the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, presidents are limited to serving a maximum of two terms as president, meaning the prospect of Trump winning a term is almost impossible.
However, Trump has joked about such an outcome on more than one occasion.

After John Adams won the Presidency and was sworn in, George Washington said to him, "Now Sir, you are fairly in, and I am fairly out." ;)

The Presidency was limited to two terms after the excesses of FDR. And you are right, amending the Constitution is indeed difficult. ;)
