Yes, Donald Trump can have a third, fourth, or any number of terms of president without violating the 22nd Amendment. Here is how it might work. The amendment prohibits him being elected to president more than twice.
There are no prohibitions related to vice president. So, Trump can run on a presidential ticket in the vice-presidential slot. If that campaign wins, the newly elected president can resign after assuming office.
The 25th Amendment specifies that the vice president becomes president if a president resigns. This would give Trump a third term as president without violating the 22nd Amendment. Or, after being elected vice president, the new president could just roll over and let the vice president call all the shots; like a super Dick Cheney, pretty much following what Trump’s buddy Vladimir Putin did in 2008.

Supreme Court, words have meaning, and the conservative Supreme Court justices like to pretend to rule strictly on what words say rather intention and there is no dictionary that define any words in the 22nd Amendment to be “vice president.” Letters to the editor are encouraged.
