A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.
Yes, he's in such excellent health, I can definitely see him living (and non-comatose!) long enough for that.
Nominating a VP as President isn’t dynastic, it’s been common practice for centuries.

My real question, if/when that happens, who is pulling the strings with the most sway?
Any number of emergent events may create an emergency preventing the congress from gathering. The congress are collaborators and the Supreme Court is compromised.
For instance if hundreds of people are rioting and breaking into the capitol building.
That's what they were trying to do on Jan 6.
an apt comparison I saw elsewhere is that the left side of the aisle is acting like the opposing team from Air Bud: "hey, a dog can't play basketball, it's against the rules!!" meanwhile, the dog is making shots over and over again.
We're currently seeing people being denied due process as a matter of federal policy all over the US.
Not entirely sure where you see murky and undefined situations...
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, 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 twice.”

The constitution says he can’t be elected president, but on an extremely pedantic reading, it doesn’t say he can’t be elected vice president.
Trump was shot while the slide showing the illegal border crossing chart under the Biden admin and talking about how much work it was going to be to send everyone back.

The most optimistic scenario would be an open and overwhelming revolt at all levels of government and forcing him to leave simply because there's nobody left who will obey. After that, we would need to return to some semblance of sanity and amend the constitution to prevent anything like this from happening again. It requires a competent Congress with principles and conviction. Furthermore, it requires massive public support. Unfortunately, about 30% of the population is eager to support the orange bastard and watch the world burn.
The country will be dealing with the fallout of this POS for the next 150 years, assuming the country even lasts that long.
I think it's evident that no one is in firm control. The Elon Musk fallout was that... Musk overreached or miscalculated, and one of the other contenders saw the opportunity to oust him. But I don't think that contender has consolidated his hold yet, Trump's too flighty. The answer could be changing day to day, depending on which asshat manages to ambush him first (or best) as they walk to the meeting room.
There were a lot of jokes around things that will never happen, like a 3rd term.
